    Imo if shaw has to cover us for a few weeks then we are muddling through rather than having a good option. We need more
    Problem is you’re not gonna get a much better option to come and sit on the bench in case he’s needed.

    Best to shut this thread down now

    Done and dusted he says.
    Maybe Wee Ron has seen the signings so far don’t look up to scratch and Hecky isn’t getting any more money?

    If that's us done Hecky will be gone by Christmas and we'll be rebuilding in January to stave off relegation. We don't have a midfield unit to cope in this league, albeit we have some very good midfielders.

    Fortunately I think he's at it.........

    He can't not say anything though can he? He's asked at the press conference are you happy with the recruitment this summer, what is he meant to say? I won't comment on that or no comment ect? The press would pick up on that in a second. It's easier just to tow the party line and say he's happy and will go with what he's got if need be.

    I'd be amazed if we don't make at least 1more significant signing before the start of the season.
    He could have said he was happy with what we have so far in the window and move on. That’s a clear indication he’s happy with the squad give or take one or two. It doesn’t look like any sort of improvement from last year and without McNulty or Omegonga it’s even weaker than last season arguably and that’s going from last seasons squad being definitely weaker than the squad the season before that.

    I’m not very sure he’s going to come in and judge signings over a few games then make that decision. Hecky will be fully backed and will be judged between now and January.

    He says “unless circumstances change”. Circumstances will definitely change as the next few weeks go on. Absolute guarantee.

    That could depend how quickly Slivka gets himself up and running imo.

    The other thing Cummings has that I think we’re missing is the ability to score out of absolutley nothing.

    Outside the box, tight angle, cheeky attempts he will try and score from.

    Im not sure our strikers have that about them. Kamberi has scored a couple in his time, outside the box twice against Celtic but he was more that go horrible wide or he scuffs from distance.

    Where's that been said? Doidge spoke to the media today and didn't seem to mention it?

    Think the poster is saying if they get injured tomorrow then that’ll be circumstances changed and we’ll need to buy someone else.

    I'm taking this as "we are done....for now". The players we want are out of reach.

    So do we either sit for a while until the English windows draws to a close or do we start looking at lower leagues/targets when our main targets position might change in the next 6 weeks.

    Was just thinking this time last year we had Kamberi and Shaw. We've got Doidge for McLaren. So up front not any less choice than NL had

    No, I was replying to Heisenberg who said "He says “unless circumstances change”. Circumstances will definitely change as the next few weeks go on. Absolute guarantee."

    I was meaning Doidge and Kamberi getting injured tomorrow would be a significant change in circumstances. Apologies for being misleading. I'd have said they are both injured or they are both injured "for" tomorrow.

    Yes, that's exactly what I was meaning. Thanks Bingo.

    I didn’t think that was enough then either to be honest.

    It’s a bit different now with us playing one up front, if that’s the case I think having 3 forwards is enough.

    I really would like us to sign another winger though, I think we’re really struggling for depth there. Last season we struggled when Boyle was injured and although he’s back now he will be away a lot with Australia and it appears Newells best position is going to be more central.

    Another midfielder and a winger/forward that can play on the wings of a 3 us still needed imo.

    Maybe the "circumstances" relate to players we want, but can't currently get - e.g. club wants bigger fee than we want to pay, player wants more money than we have offered or wants to wait a bit longer before deciding. So if we get to the closing of the English window it could be that these circumstances could change back in our favour.

    He’s average and i would be staggered if we signed him again and made him our highest paid player.

    I'd go with that, we're got loads of midfielders if you Inc Boyle & Horgan but not the variety or right mix unless Vela is more DM. "

    Ron knows very little about football so i doubt he would be in a position to judge Heckingbottom

    Cummings would be ideal for that out of nothing ability suet we have to take him back its a no brainer for me.

    Marciano, Allan, Horgan or whomever getting injured tomorrow would also significantly change circumstances.

    I don’t think for one second that we’re done. Presuming that Vela is on a similar wage to what Ojo’s final salary offer would have been, there’s the £130K fee that wasn’t spent. Some has maybe gone to Vela as a signing on fee, mind you.

    Reading between the lines I think this is Heckie talk for unless Omeonga & McNulty become affordable to us we are not actively pursuing anyone else.

    I would think a good chunk of it.
