I know its a difficult time to buy, but Sturrock was talking about long term signings and weve ended up signing 5 players until the end of the season. Its hardly commitment to the team. Its a panic buy to try and halt our alarming form.
If it gets us up then fair play. But Im so sick of loan players. Promoted or not I want 11 STFC players in august. Thats the only way to make long term progress.
As for Sippo's comments, as if this board could be any more short termist?
The transfer window for permament signings closed in January so it had to be loans. Corr is all set for a permament move in the summer, I guess the others he is taking a look at with a view to signing them, although I doubt whether the kid from Man City will be available.
Still cant see why we didnt sign anyone permanent in Jan. Except because the board cant see past their own wallets.
After a loan period clubs always seem to want a higher valuation when you go in for their players. Plus loan players dont usually put in enough effort and generally disrupt the team. You get some good ones, like Bouazza last year tried his heart out, played every position he was asked.
