We did everything we could except match the money they wanted. Thats fair enough, we have a budget.
Some will say we need to splash out, others will say we can't afford to.

Everything we could apart from start the process a bit earlier in the transfer window and we left it last minute.

What nonsense, we only found out his availability at the end of the window as Blackburn had brought in 2 players, Stokes wasn't a priority and would have been an added extra, that's why we didn't splash the cash for him.

AS will sign for us at the end of the season and put Premier league defences to the sword next term

Would have been good to see him back but at 4k a week, its an expense we can live without.

I feel that Keating's does a great job for us and is maybe a bit undervalued...just my opinion though.

There are lots of reasons why this maybe didn't happen and yet some folks as always are happy to jump up and down and criticise the club, using nothing but gossip and rumour for the foundation of any criticism, for the hell of it.

I think if there was 1 or 2pts between us and 2nd we may have seen a different transfer window for us and probably Dundee Utd. Bringing in say 2 loans including wages and any loan fees would like have seen us spending close to 6 figures (2xplayers on 2k pw for 15 weeks = 60k + fees etc)
I am quite happy for all monies to be used for next season in the SPL were we can attract probably a better calibre of player and maybe put money into keeping some players already here. This team should be more than capable of going up as winners.

Stokes is a quality player and Hibs legend but I don't think signing him would have made a huge difference. He won't be match fit. It took a while to get him up to speed last season but it was worth a punt as we were trying to catch Rangers. We're 8 points clear in February now so it would be money wasted in my opinion. Unless of course we're going for two in a row......

I've got faith in the strikers already at the club to more than see us out for the rest of the season and win the league. As other posters have said, I'd much rather see us save the money that would have been put towards Stokes and use it more effectively to strengthen for next year
