Oh well, I'm sure they've known this for a while and haven't been hanging on until now. Hopefully the Bakens transfer will be completed this week. As for Touzani's wages, they better use them for another player, because we have a puny squad for a team that has aspirations to be challenging at the right end of the table and on the cup front.

Deary me, I acknowledge the fact that not many other teams have signed many players at all, but that doesn't mean we need to be patient. We knew for months that the majority of these guys were leaving and should have had things sorted out by now. Thing is i'm never sure if we have tried and are unlucky with our targets (optimistic hat) or we're lazy and wait around for the papers to tell us who to sign (pessimistic hat).

Christ sake, are we not allowed more than one day where we can be happy with AFC? We cannot afford to do it. Our squad is pathetically small as it is and we have no-where near enough quality if a few players get injured. Fee or no fee, we shouldn't be thinking about losing one of the better passers in our team.

Was quite refreshing to actually read that article. Good on him and I hope he does well for us!

I'm happy with this signing. Its taken long enough, but its good to see us actually pulling off one of our top targets. As Padre said, lets hope he doesn't try and pass back

Cheer up mate, it might never happen But I do agree, seems strange. How's he been doing down at Wednesday?

I would like to know how this will be split, but fair play to Lex Gold! Surely it can only be good for the game?

Is that G-man there Ajja!?

I thought so. Anyway, I didn't think for a second we would be signing 10 players. I think we all had a hope we would but knew that AFC will use the re-signing of players as an excuse (which i'm sure they will do). Time is running out and we don't have a 1st XI yet that I am comfortable with let alone an 18 man squad. The next month or so will be interesting, and I hope for the right reasons.

Do'nt forget Molafeev as well apparently

How can that be from today, I'm sure I read those same quotes somewhere last week

Completely agree. He just needs to stay focused. He's young and has time on his side still, he's not going to be a world beater but hell Anderson took his time in developing and look how well he served for us. Time is what he needs. As ST said, we can't keep letting these guys go and replacing them with dross.

I think he's aluding to the fact that there are nice places in Yorkshire, that would mean he woudln't have to bide in the shitehole that is Burnley. But yeah I think its a shame we can't afford him. But oh well next...

My thoughts exactly....

According to Mad, he's been offered a new deal. Nothing mentioned on AFC yet though.

Agree with you Ajja, I'm sure he was playing a fair bit when RKC were in the Eredivisie (season before last) but I found it really hard watching those highlights. Just header after clearance on and on again. There are better dutch defenders that we could afford.

Wouldn't be a bad signing and at least its not worse than we have so I guess that would be a positive. Still got plenty more to sign and still awaiting the " big signing ". Do you think Mark Kerr will allow small fry like Kluivert to pose in the same picture?

The one nil win at Tinkcastle 2 christmas's ago. That was magic from pre pub, game, post pub and then the walk home up Dalry road (into the Hearts fans ) in my santa suit getting suitable christmas greetings from Hearts fans Ho Ho Ho indeed it was.

As much as I hate the bastard, I wouldn't mind us signing him up on the coaching side of things. I don't think he's quick enough now to continue playing though.

I know I noticed that yesterday, quite amusing how far some people will go to see their name on the screen.

I don't think the club listen to themselves some of the time, let alone us!

Closing the top off though makes a hell of a lot more sense than closing off the bottom half! My one trip there last season and I couldn't believe how far away we were from the pitch. It was crap and sounded really shite on the highlights.

We've had this conversation so many times, I really don't see why the club haven't realised this (or maybe i'm not surprised). They really should have the grading system back which would then allow them to test such a scheme. I am in no doubt whatsoever that having the fans closer to the pitch will bring a better atmosphere/give more support to the players. Its something that needs to be addressed. Also, surely it would look better on tv to have a " full stadium " than one thats sparcely populated?

Doesn't help that you're moving even further from him sneckie
