Rubbish. We had an excellent grass surface when we were in the premier league and I don't recall us having big TV money then.

Kidd will be at RB with McGhee moving in one IMO. McKinnon is basing the side on defensive solidity, which Robson can't provide in a back 4.

No it isn't. We can sign free agents until the end of March.

Quite happy with Todorov. At least he has that bit of experience. The fact Harrison has signed for spennymoor town tells you all you need to know about his ability. Good riddance.

I don't know but he said last week that he'd agreed terms with a premier league striker who then turned us down. There could have been a similar situation with others.

I'd like to think he's been watched throughout the transfer window as a back up option in case our original targets didn't sign.

I think it's quite obvious Jarvis is a bit of a panic singing since Ray's original targets have turned us down. I'd like to think we could have at least got someone with more experience in though.

Were you expecting Lewandowski FFS! I'd have liked a striker who at least has experience of scoring goals in a professional league tbh.

Have to say I'm not ecstatic about this striker singing. I'd have liked far better quality in that position.

Can't imagine us having any issues paying £40k.

Petravicius is absolutely average at best and I'll be disappointed if he's anything more than an impact sub.

If Hippo signs I think Mackinnon would want to go with this Burgoyne Kidd/McGhee McKenna Edge Dixon Waddington McShane Osman Hippo Rudden New ST We'd also have loads of options off the bench like MacLean, DKD and Petravicius

I'd hope Hippo would be in addition to a striker. We're not bursting with options at left wing.

He's not a world beater but better than all of our attacking options at the moment.

Hippolyte would be an excellent signing in our current predicament.

So you'd rather the BoD offered long term deals to championship players on championship wages when there's a strong chance we'll be in league 1 next season? Can't see how that could possibly go wrong.

There will be very few first team players on less than 45k a year. Season tickets aren't our only source of income. The likes of Dixon and Osman will be on over £1k a week.

Not sure if the reports linking us to Lee Erwin are accurate but he'd be just what we need IMO. Experience and a bit of quality to help Rudden upfront.

He's managed to get points on the board with a squad full of players not good enough for this level. That's incredible in my view. His signings are also looking good at this early stage. Who would you rather have?

If the worst were to happen, I'd like to think Ray would be given the chance to bring us back up if he wants it. It was always going to be a very difficult task to replace an entire team of Hartley's duds and give us a fighting chance. He's done an incredible job so far in even having us in touching distance.

I'm not sure how you've reached that conclusion. Haskins and Cardle aside, they've signed no one of quality. Hazard is a bombscare of a goalkeeper.

I hope(and believe) that the Board of Directors would be willing to push the boat out with the wage budget to sign a top striker. I think the issue is more that we can't get one to come rather than any issue with finance. I'm sure Ray has been looking for months for a 20 goal a season striker but a team at the bottom of the Scottish championship won't exactly have people queuing up. Having said that, Conor Sammon would be an excellent signing at this level.

McKee is a good player at this level and can be an asset to the team with the right people around him. We're already well stocked in centre midfield anyway with Paton, Osman, McKee, Waddington, McShane and Kidd all able to play there. I'd hope we can move on Harrison and Brough this week though.
