I think signing players without a manager just brings more potential problems.  For starters, what kind of player is signing for a club without knowing who his boss is going to be?  More importantly, when the new manager comes in, what if he just does not rate the guy?  We are unlikely to win the league , probably won't get relegated, just hold fire for a minute and wait to get the new guy's opinion before signing anyone - even if that means waiting until June.  No one really wants to qualify for Europe anyway.

Well said. No manager and a bloated squad. Not the time to be signing players long term. Sad but the reality of things.you could even throw lutz in there, coordination with a new manager on the squad, style of play, needs etc.

if Toyosi Olusanya is the best we can do as far as brining in a striker then we would be as well pack it in and close the doors 

Ach you’d probably have been saying the same thing when Eddie Turnbull was keeping tabs on the loon Harper in Greenock in 1968.

Also, if you get it right with a couple of anchor signings it’s amazing the difference it can make to others who are malfunctioning or just lacking confidence. I’m not entirely convinced we have a lengthy list of complete failures but we do have a list of players who aren’t currently performing.

Rangers told to pay Dundee 400k for Cameron. A factor with us in no loan to buy option since they didn’t know what they owed?? 
they’ve been told to pay that, do we know what we’re getting for Barron???

They still owe that, correct? And now they owe Dundee 400k. Perhaps a deal for Cameron can be reached, wipe their debt to us or part of it?? Although I’d expect to pay 600k or more for Cameron.

sorry min but that's really a moot point as you are nae comparing apples with apples are ya? 

Joseph Montgomery Harper before we signed him had played something like 85 games for Greenock Morton and scored 65 goals, giving a goals return ration of roond aboot a goal every 1.3 games.

That record right there is a wee bit different than Toyosi Olusanya who to date in his career has played something like 135 games and scored a total of 21 goals giving a goals return ratio of roond aboot a goal every 6.5 games 

So I do say it again. Nothing personally against Olusanya is the best striking option we can attract to the clyb these days and is high up on our list of targets then we would be as well pack it all in and shut the doors.

Aberdeen Football are better than this (or at least we fkn should be)

If they still owe us money for the dog botherer, then it highlights that we should never do business with them.

If Cameron was a £400k fee. He isn't getting game time at Ibroke and out on loan after six months. Not a great look.

We may also want to see how he does over the remainder of the season, before we try and buy him.

One half decent game against Raith, doesn't make a player.
