Even the last minute signings of Henry, Kamberi and Hornby filled me with more confidence than this signing today 

Oh and let's just put it out there, I believe they managed TWO goals between them

I refer you back to the post of KTW15.

No offence mate, but if he is the way we are headed my 60 year love affair could be under threat.

He was useful at running in the direction he was facing. I think he'll be decent from the bench, making space for Nisbet. Don't think he's good enough at football for the wing unfortunately. A 4-4-2 and some direct fitba when we're trailing should suit him. Like most of our players, he's limited to a few setups.

I’m guessing the strategy is to stick wi loans in the main in order to give the new manager maximum flexibility over the squad in the summer.

This boy seems to have a good pedigree tbf. Ariel ability is highlighted in his profile so that’s a big plus.

I am of course also making the rather large assumption that we actually have a strategy of course…

Well that would be completely contradictory to the setup of the club. The sporting director makes the signings, the coach coaches them. Not making signings just because we don’t have a head coach doesn’t make sense. But then not a lot is making sense these days.

20% (4) of his entire career total goals (20) have come against...  Go on, guess.  

Back using McInnes criteria for signings.

Look on the bright side, maybe he is always inspired by playing at Pittodrie

I don't think it's quite that. It's supposed to be a team effort involving the manager. Or certainly that what was hinted at in the past. But, aye, we've certainly got enough in-house to be making signings without requiring the first team coach in the door.

Bring on Livi.

 

 

If Stephen Robinson gets the job at least it'll be his third time in a week facing Livingston, so will know exactly what to do to beat them.

(Didn't beat them on Saturday and at the time of writing is 1-0 down, but let's not allow that to spoil things).

Possibly also need to factor in the fact that January is a notoriously poor window to shop in. Populated with over-priced, underperforming charlatans. We might just be avoiding wasting too many sovs in this window knowing the next rebuild will be better delivered in the summer?

That I can get on board with as a rational explanation.

Doesn't excuse no pre-contracts, or loans with agreement to purchase. We managed to sign players in January every other year, it's not beyond us. Loans are a choice, and one we've seen before.

And no offence to you old friend but you are far too much of an addict to ever give it up and you know it .  You saying this is like Jute saying he's not going to go to a game we all know he's going to but he's just not admitted it to himself yet.

As we have a surplus of over priced, underperforming charlatans, maybe there will be a lot of movement in the next fortnight

My first thought when i heard the rumour was he could be good for Nisbet.  My aging memory says he was quick, grafted his ass off and was generally a pain in the arse to play against everyone in the league.  We all know there is a proper no 9 in Nisbet and Olusanya is the kind of player who could potentially create the space and opportunity he needs.  I would be at peace with signing him 2bh (sorry Al)
