Mark McGhee commented today that he is octomistic he will have secured eight new signings before the season starts.

 

"Willie and I have been manning the phones, constantly taking calls from agents but we only have one set of arms each.  You'd have to be a spider to keep up!"

 

The manager also trampled rumours that Leitch was on his way out of the club with Paul Incey-wincey as his replacement.  "I don't know where those rumours have came from but someone's spun a web of deceit and I want to squash this story before it grows any more arms or legs".

 

 

Maybe the story should be answering the phone?

Ahh, good, a thread with pun jokes in it.

 

cant see past the ink for me

The club will be squids in, if this story is true.

I think the more worrying words there are, as many as.... Kinda leaves scope for less. Or am I reading too much into that? We all know we need at least 6 players in. I've already made my fears for next season known, but I am hoping that the club/MM pulls it out of the bag.

We can't even afford the bag to pull it out of.

weren't you worried before this? 

weren't you worried before this? 

 

Well yes.  I thought we were getting about 8-10 signings.  Now it's looking like 1 definite, plus "as many" as another 6.

 

It'll be 4 at the most!

8-10 signings was never happening, no matter how many times they said it.

It's so sad but true, and I think thats why we treated it with suspicion as soon as the statement was made. Club in trying to fool the fans shocker.
