(Daily Record) https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49161696 A left back? Fucking REALLY? Not just a left back, but a shite left back at that. I remember Accies fans being less than complimentary about him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Accies fans being less than complimentary about him. Aye, it's less than overwhelming. The league season starts in a few days. We're screaming out for creative/ attacking players and we're being linked with shitey ex Accies left backs. f**k. Me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Taylor and Waters have us well covered for that position, it's probably the last place we need to strengthen - aside from defensive midfield maybe, which is where his last fucking signing plays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie95 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I really hope this isn't true. Even if we were looking for a new left back, surely there has to be better options somewhere else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocular Patdown Required Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Surely has to be paper talk. At least the supposed bigger budget this year is being used to bring in quality I suppose 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope they are just testing us before unleashing all the happy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry_Tibbs Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Kilmarnock are 50/1 to finish bottom. If AA gets given to January would you bet against it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If AA gets given to January would you bet against it?We will not be anywhere near that bad as there is still plenty in the budget from here on in ( as long as we maybe, I don't know, spend it on some attacking & creative players rather than shite Accies cast offs who play LB), but right now I would rip your hand off for 7th place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accies1 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Sowah wasn't even a starter for a team that conceded 75 goals last season. Just saying [emoji2369] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 What I find weird is that (given the "nae signings!" chat on here is the same as both Saints threads) - why are clubs not getting their squads more-or-less finalised earlier*? Everyone knows that regardless of being in Europe or the Betfred that competitive football starts in mid-July - which has been the case for a few seasons now. It's fine hanging around to pick up English loans or a deadline day special to finish things off - but it seems crazy to be going in to the season still looking for lots of players - and it seems worse than usual this year. *as other diddies are fishing in the same pond as 'Well, I'm more than happy for them to wait until August - but I can't understand it... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple, most clubs fishing in our pool can pick up better quality late in the window. Once players weigh up offers, or not in some cases, and bigger clubs decide who will be loaned out later in the window once they finalise their squads. No way Killie would have been able to sign guys the like of Stewart, Bachmann or Mulumbu early in a transfer window....... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 We did however sign guys like O'Donnell, Power and Jones early in a transfer window. Just because there are good players available later in the year doesn't mean you are forced to operate with a shoestring squad for Europe and then the opening league games of the season. The end of the window should be for augmenting your squad, not bringing in 8 or 9 players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, it's fine to wait for some quality later in the window - but surely the core should be in place by the time the friendlies are over? There is obviously risk involved anyway (we had all our signings early last season and lots of them were shite) - but by starting the real games under-strength, you're adding additional risk, not lessening it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
