Yeah with a squad of 29 players we aren't adding another 4 to it.

I suspect Sands will be RB cover. The other three, absolutely. Jack, Davis and Arfield have had poor to inconsistent ongoing fitness. Huge debate about whether Lundstram and Bacuna good enough. Wright runs about a lot but delivers little. Sakala not really suited to RW.

Absolutely not. Wouldn't be surprised to see us dip into the loan market for a RW.

We don't need a rb. We don't really need Souttar although it would be nice if we could get him in earlier.
We absolutely do need a RW. It was preferable before, it is now essential.

I suspect the Board expect him to crack on with the rest of the season with at best one more signing, probably a loan. If that’s the case after c£16m in up front for Gerrard compensation and Patterson sale, it’s extremely worrying.

We could do a lot worse than Joe Rothwell. MC/AMC though not right wing.

Same as it has been all window there appears to be no urgency same soundbites of we will see what happens or who becomes available not good enough imo.

Would be a case of them crossing their fingers and hoping the risk pays off.
A few injuries and things can turn

If that's the case & we go on to lose the title, we'll look back at this window as to the reason why

Looks like Blackburn are looking for 3mill +

Realistically, without spunking money on positions we don't need.
We need a right winger as others have said. I can see us spending money on that.
In terms of cover for Aribo, we have Arfield who can play that position but in terms of more creativity we've got to trust Lowry. We've also got McCann that's been on the bench the last few games was cover.
I'd give them a go before panic buying - and i'm sure we will.

Remember when 55 was won and we had all the chat about not resting on our laurels and that we had to go from strength to strength and not show the same complacency that the bheasts had done, by not strengthening from a strong position and we laughed at them for not having done it? I'm now a little concerned that we may have fallen into that same position this quickly! I know we are 4 pts in front at the moment, but that can all change so easily, and I'm now concerned about the quality fit and available, right throughout the 1st 11.

Thought it was 2m. Also, surely they would rather deal with us rather than a rival.

With the money we’ve brought in there’s no excuse for the board not to go out and spend money on at least a rw.

The RW situation needed addressed before the Hagi news but this just heightened it. Hopefully we can add a player who enhances our starting 11 and not our bench.

Arfield barely keeps himself fit, Wright is simply not good enough, Lowry made a promising debut against Stirling Albion. Jack and Davis to come back but neither are attack minded (who knows how Jack will return?).
We are lacking in attacking options - especially wide right.
Fixtures are piling up - we’ll pick up knocks.

Yes but they rejected a 3rd bid from Bournemouth today. Think it was 2mill plus add ons

Have you watched his press conference?
He literally said “we are definitely looking to add a player in the coming days”
He added that they need to be quality and not just to make up the numbers.
I don’t think you get any more encouraging than that, isn’t that exactly what we’re looking for?

This is what I've been saying for a while. We've probably not been able to get our top target for various reasons, or have went too far down the list. Just going out and spending money doesn't guarantee anything, it has to be the right fit. We've got plenty of squad fillers.
Grigo Yossarian

Yes Benny, I understand.
All I’m saying is, if we could get him to sign an OOC, it completely changes that, as he’s coming to us, so they can only negotiate with us.

No I haven't, I just saw the tweet posted in a couple of threads which gives a different impression to the quote you've mentioned there.

True mate. Never really thought about it that way. Would all depend on what wages we were offering him
The squad is too big as it is we are on 29 players and that's before you consider the likes of Alex Lowry. The club has to start running itself at some point as well without shareholders putting their money in so the Patterson money will allow that to happen as well as money going to off field projects.
There will be some money there to spend but given how big the squad is its understandable the board maybe reluctant to allow any more players to come in.

And the previous window, not good enough.

I’ve got a fantastic grip mate.
Let me ask you this, would you rather put the £20/30k worth of wages those 4 non-contributing players are on towards a quality starter?

This debate is extremely boring for everyone now, but I said we haven't spent a transfer fee for '3/4 windows.'
21/22 January, 21/22 summer, 21/20 January = 3 windows. Wasn't exactly sure hence the "3/4". I'm not counting the near nominal fee for Wright.

Let’s just hope it’s not just Souttar he’s referring to.

Thats how we end up with guys like barker , taking what we can get , i would rather not waste money on another squad player , if the player isnt going to improve the starting 11 then go with what we have

The succession planning though may well be based on summer movement and not January movement. Some of the players who he has earmarked to succeed current first team players may only be available in the summer (e.g. perhaps Doekhi is the succession plan for Goldson but that might only happen in the summer at the start of next season.)
Let’s wait and see what happens before commenting on Wilson. Still time to go. If we don’t bring in a RW then yes, questions need to be asked what the %^*& he is doing because there’s are always loan deals available if we can’t afford transfer fees.

We paid a fee to Man City for Barker
We need creativity in that RW position there’s no excuses now

Patterson cash surely gave us a chance to spend money that was going to need to be spent in the summer anyway

Unless the target was maybe at African nations or something. Hard to say but he seem confident in getting someone in.

Let's hope it's a quality addition and not another pointless squad filler.
Pressure on Ross Wilson to deliver here.
