It's not just the fact we havn't signed anyone. It's also that we hardly have any players to begin with.

JR's comments in the Free Press take some beating / believing

\"There are a few irons in the fire but a lot of people are ion holiday at present and I can't see anything happening until late next week at the earliest\"

Well John, same rules apply to other Clubs - it doesnt stop them making signings. Poor excuse for lack of activity. His other point:

\"Sean O Driscoll has four of five targets for the left back role and Kennedy WAS only one of them\"

From that we can be pretty sure he's decided another Club is a better prospect than us then? As for the other 4 or 5 targets - Ill believe it when I see it.

Or .... if you'd listened to Heff's interview last night - he spoke of the uncertainty because there were lots of players without a contract and it's a worrying time all round.

Just shut down your PC's and go away from here until August, then log in to see who we have in the squad .... because whoever we do or don't sign it won't be on the recommendation of any of the gobshites on here!

Well I wouldn't have put it as strongly as that, but I agree with the sentiments. No club is spending significant amounts of money and no club has the strength in depth that we all crave. Just take a look at the lists of players released and you'll see every club is sailing in the same boat.

According to Alan Irvine on Radio Deedar yesterday he has received the available player lists from the PFA and there are 10 pages of released players and 16 pages of out of contract. Plenty to go at then!!

But how many with the qualities that SOD desires and in the positions that we need?

Rovin Reporter, I've deleted your other thread that had a different title but same first post as this one - try to avoid starting multiple threads on the same topic please.

Thanks.

Maybe it's smoke and mirrors.  ;)

Don't worry too much at this stage though, as it said in the Free Press this morning, SO'D has an extensive shopping list. It was the same last year when we picked out Quinton Fortune - he was just below the bread and milk.
