  1. To a certain extent I think that both sides are right. I'm sure that Archie would agree that he would have liked a couple more names in place by now, but equally it is hardly doom and gloom as our competators have hardly set the heather alight with their additions. I can't honestly think of one player signed by our immediate competition where I'd have though "wish we'd got him". Looking the other way I'm sure many will think theid missed out on Stevenson.

     

    As for ATS, there is not exactly a plethora os left sided attacking full backs. Who exactly are the targets that we have missed out on and being linked with a world cup playershows the standard we are looking at.

     

    So my conclusion is that yes we are behind schedule, but there is time to play with and there are plenty of fish in the sea still to be hooked (That was not an attempt at a pun). Lets see what happens before the window closes before the doom and gloom is brought out.

  2. It’s time for Archie to kick on now and bring in the striker and few defensive players we need to strengthen the squad, but Osman and Stevenson are an encouraging start to proceedings.

     

    It looks to me as if Archie is biding his time to weigh up options. We have the Honduran lad who's name escapes me and Mustoe as possible left backs. Maybe both as The Honduran can also play central defense. There is also Barr. Bring these 3 in and the defense is looking pretty tidy, and even then, something better might come along. I know things don't always work out as planned, but the impression is that Archie is going for quality, not quantity and if that takes a bit of patience, I'd still rather that than pounce on the first journeyman who comes available.

  3. Aye, that's what I'm trying to say, FIFA consider it to be the same team playing under a different name, hence the team has won 4 world cups.

     

    Struggling to think of an analogy in club football where a new club has taken over the history of a defunct one. Must be one somewhere, but I just can't for the life of me figure it out.
