The most secretive club in Scotland it would seem. Can you post links to any other clubs who have put out statements regarding the availability of funds for transfers? Or indeed any statements regarding transfers (other than actual signing announcements)? I’m happy to be corrected if you can find evidence but I think you’ll find we’re the same as all other clubs, not some secretive club deliberately keeping our supporters in the dark. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paco Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I have to agree, I’ve seen nothing to suggest we are. The most secretive club in Scotland it would seem. Murray said either to the press or K107, I can’t remember which, that he wanted ‘four or ideally five’ in before the end of the window. We’ve had three, so there is at least one more to come - centre back is presumably the answer there, we have one actual CB til Christmas as it stands. I’d hazard a guess the ‘ideal’ addition beyond that would be another striker. Murray also said the McLelland deal was done but Hibs asked us to wait three weeks while their injuries clear up. And that he’s not sure we’ll be able to wait that long. So he’s clearly still actively looking for another centre back - in theory, a new guy added to Nolan, Lang and Dick as emergency (if they’re ever all fit) is a reasonable pool to choose from, at least in terms of numbers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 56 minutes ago, Raith_Raver said: Once the crocked players are back we'll have a terrific team, I've no doubt about that. There are temporary issues to be resolved, granted, but these are being addressed, and there's no reason to doubt that they will be adressed satisfactorily. Now, I agree that having the four currently out available would make a huge difference. However there are still some issues there: Matthews appears to have an injury that will recur; Lang is out until December, which causes us an ongoing problem; Vaughan needs to be handled with extreme care. It will be very helpful, but is no panacea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGuigan1978 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 1 hour ago, baillieinleeds said: Sense at last. Killie, a team that could barely lay a glove on us last season. We take a kid that couldn’t break into their team at all. Speaks volumes for the trajectory that we’re facing. Nothing from the Emperor to say funds are available to strengthen the weakest part of the squad. Quite simply nothing. Last season, Kilmarnock’s forward options included, amongst others Oli Shaw, Callum Hendrie, Scott Robinson and Kyle Lafferty. With that being the case, sending out a 19-year-old striker on loan to get valuable experience seems like a fairly sensible thing to do, rather than have him sit on the bench all season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigma Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Wonder if there is any truth/still a chance of Adam Rooney. Seems to me he’s the experienced type of player we lack right now, the kind of guy who you’d hope would be ruthless in front of goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If McGlynn had stayed he might still be playing through it… I have no idea, but I would hope the op clears up his injury for good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s just hope I suppose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray had stated umpteen times he was on the look out for players and, probably naively, gave rough ideas on how many (at that point) and timescales for signing. Granted it didn't always pan out to the timeframes he gave but ultimately he's started to get bodies in and I've no doubt the factors that delayed/scuppered some players coming in were all external and not down to Murray sitting with his thumb up his erse. All he pretty much left out when questioned about signings were the players names. I really don't know how much more info Murray and/or the club need to divulge and honestly don't know any other club that does that sort of thing anyway. It really feels some posters are a post away from basically saying Murray has been sitting twiddling his thumbs waiting for the season to start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Always next quarter Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 In terms of being "the most secretive" I suggest a wee trawl through other clubs TV output. We might not love all we hear but we are incredibly well provided for via Club TV, local radio and written press. If you mean at board level then I can see your point. The dropping in of a new DLO and SLO without notice is an example. I would to be honest rather that was the case than we hear Simm publicly belittle himself and the club with some cloud shouting conspiracy theories. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's what I mean I didn't see the posts advertised or any debate/discussion before the announcement. Not really a biggie more trying to see where the complaint of secrecy could come from. As I stress I think we get quite a positive service generally, look at Hamilton, Ayr and Morton for example. Dundee just don't do free detail such as interviews, I assume it's a paywall thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith_Rasta Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 My 9 year old Nephew finally showing interest in football, so I thought a home game against Dundee would be a good game for his first, since Dundee bring a deece away support. It’s the first game al have been to since E tickets. Is E tickets ‘sit where you want’ or do you have to sit in seats that you booked? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though it's not going to be packed out so you could move after the game starts or halftime I guess 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The person in question talking about secrecy is someone who needs his hand held being a football fan and would like to know what the 'Emperor' had for his tea before being able to settle for the evening. Failure to know this results in recurrent meltdowns on here unfortunately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
