Haven't seen or heard from AS since our latest addition, has he said if we are still looking to bring in 1 or 2 more? Is O'Dea on the radar what about mcfadden? Or is that us until January?

are we finished?

I would say finished. Was made clear we have overspent playing budget already and further with new Striker. We can't free up wages by releasing anyone more (who would agree to go and not be paid if they can't be registered with another club till Jan)
Other than CH / RB we have numbers for most positions (could argue all day about merits of each and whether they are good enough)
Hopefully Hanlon fit (I think Alloa pitch was reason for not risking) and Gray stays fit

Would really have liked a couple more in but think this will be it. Unless we can offload players in January this may be it for the season...

Absolutely astonishing that we can be over-budget with such a small and inexperienced squad.

We've had a midfielder and defender on trial recently. I'd say we're still looking but only for the right quality.

But I think if we don't get someone else in this week then that will be it till January .

That's a net loss of 6 players.
While I don't think we'll be paying top dollar for the players we brought in I'd imagine that they'll be on a decent wage - probably above what Caldwell, Murdoch and Cairney for example were on.
Given that I'd say it's probably about what I'd expect for the budget cut we'll have had - especially given that budget will have been set with not getting promotion this season taken into account. A second season also presumably without the parachute payment and possibly without the cash bonus of 4 home games against sevco and the yams

I hope we are not finished as we desperately need a defensive midfielder. We've gone from having loads of them to not having a single one in a year. IMO neither Craig or Robertson can play the sitting/defensive midfield role and if we plan to persist with them in there then we as a team and they as individuals are going to struggle.
I was no fan of Tudor Jones but when I seen he'd been released I assumed it was because we already had a replacement lined up. I'm hoping we have and it's just taking a bit longer than expected to get it over the line.

I remember Mikey stating a year 18 months ago, that the club had rained in its spending that much on administration and the shop that it was actually affecting their performance and image to the customer.
Why would it be any different with the rest of the business?

Slightly different topic, I see you ran Super League Armadale close yesterday at millfield and your two of your old clubs have drawn each other in the Scottish (Tranent v. Edinburgh Utd for those watching in black and white).

The key is to look at the senior players that have moved on and the number of replacements that have been brought in. We have no way of knowing whether the new arrivals are on more or less than the departures, other than that they all look to be decent players.Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

A decent source Steve without divulging it but suffice to say our offer isn't great and he is holding out for more. I didnt ask what our offer is

O'Dea training at Celtic Park but seemingly not yet fully recovered from injury. Would be a coup if we got him but imagine he'll have more lucrative offers on the table.
