I am only partly messing. Of course not all players from Scotland will be awful. But there has been a lot that have been. There's a definite risk in it.

It can't be good playing against Raith Rovers every week, then to facing Arsenal can it?!
 
This is it lads. We have for the last few years done extremely well to finish in the top six considering the lack of backing and support from boardroom level.

We finished 11th last season, roughly about the same position as we are in the wages league table.

Our peers are signing record breaking shirt deals, while we have Kitbag. No doubt another failed stadium move to be announced in the near future.

Things are going to get a lot worse. We will do no new signings until someone is sold or late August when we renew the Vibrac loan.

We are the scruffs of the premiership, outdated home compared to our peers. We rent our training facilities from the council and we survive on payday loans from offshore accounts.

EVERTON, WHATS OUR NAME?
 
I see Southampton are trying to sign Steven Caulker on loan with a view to signing him for £8m according to the Daily Fail. Wouldn't be a bad idea to hijack that and loan him, no need to sign him at the end of it and if he was good it would be a bonus, give us 12 months to wait for Galloway to develop or to find a real long term target without a big outlay.

We used three of our four available loans last year - Atsu, Lennon and Henen. Two turned out great and one didn't - not a bad hit rate tbh.

I mean using the loans early on in summer. Henen we might aswell not count. Lennon came in Jan/Feb.

If we are skint (which is another argument for another day) then utilise the loan system. We need players, it's not fans being greedy or just wanting new signings, the bench against Hearts was embarrassing. If we get a few injuries we're in trouble.
 
Apparently Stoke have signed 8 players this window. We have signed 2 players who already played for Martinez, so for me don't really count as signings. When are we going to make a real proper signing ?

So because Lukaku came on loan first, we're not counting him as a signing last year?

So we have an extra £28m to spend?? WOOOO!!!!

I see what he means with the lukaku deal. Although a great signing, it didn't improve our team from the team which included him whilst on loan. We basically payed a lot of money to stay the same as the previous year.

To say cleverley and even Delefoe ( who was not here last season) are not signings is ludicrous haha..

I'd rather we sign no one than the absolute gash Mark Hughes has signed. Look at the players they have lost as well. I'd still rather be us. Stoke will be bobbins this year.

Schalke have apparently said they're not selling Draxler, I wonder if they'll still want to buy Shaqiri

If we wanted him, we would have bid weeks ago for him.

Truth is, we can't afford him. We are shopping at the out of date aisle looking for something to buy with our pennies.

What's Latin for " Please sir, I want more "
