The big plus side is that we're not fucking Huns.

This is becoming jimmy’s team but jimmy didn’t sign doohan or ruby, and until he’s had players for six months or more, he’s got to learn everything about the players we sign. We have a recruitment department, that it’s not just jimmy signing his targets. give this team a season. Add players before the window closes and build. We’re signing players mid season now with no preseason or friendlies to experiment, train, get match fit etc, and learning and gelling a team on the fly. Not willing to be critical. Yet.

That's better son

I hope all this money we’re spending on transfer fees is coming out of Cormack’s pocket rather than us betting the house on Thelin.

The big plus side for us over Sveco is we can point out to Dundee we'll actually pay it.

Nisbet is a difficult one, he really needs someone hitting the line and either firing it across or cutting it back to him. For large parts this season, it hasn't happened. Gueye will occupy defenders, draw them out and give the wingers a bit more room to make telling cutbacks. When you see Nisbet live (probably not obvious on the telly because of the camera angles), you can see he does have good movement in the box, but the defenders are always back in place and facing our goal by the time we get a cross in. Makes it far harder for any striker. What looks like laziness with Nisbet may just be that he's not getting the type of service he needs, and doesn't have the ability to create himself. Miovski was able to take a ball in, lay it off, and then be on the end of a 1-2. Nisbet can only do one or the other, and unless he receives the perfect pass, it's nearly always neither. It'll be interesting to see if Gueye makes a difference to him, by taking responsibility for the creative parts, ball holding and just generally occupying defenders.
