  • Don't forget, Josh has not signed a new contract yet, so if we get Grigg, he could be off

    From one Ross to another, that's crazy. No way we'd sell big Josh with another year left on his contract
  • If he was happy with Watt going, he would have worded that differently!

    Precisely

    If he isn't all I can imagine is it's a pride thing. Surely can't be based on performances.

    Or the fact that he found out after a deal was agreed and wasn't consulted, which they have form for. He wants to add and not sell without doing that.
  • He could have said it was the right move for all parties and wish Watt well. By saying what he said, he was basically saying it is better not to comment!
  • KR - “We’re looking to bring in a striker to bring in competitiveness. Josh is a top player, we've got Ricky [Holmes], Tariqe [Fosu], we’ve got some really good offensive players."

    So one or no strikers in by the sounds of it

    A statement backed up by today's experience... Well spotted Karl!
  • He has spoken to the owner on a handful of occasions. He talks to Meire day to day - I suspect Meire had absolutely nothing to do with the decision to let Watt go - it would have been the owner who probably found five minutes to pay us some attention to decide to let him go given there was interest. This is the way the idiot runs his network. You just do not play an unfit player on the second gameof the season, but KR didn't have loads of options.

    I'm not even saying it was wrong to let Watt go, but you need to replace first.
    I think we are agreeing with each other.

    yes we are
  • So this will be Watts eighth club and at 23 you think he won't get many more chances to turn his career round.

  • yes we are
    I find that fact very agreeable.

    That's nice!

    Nice to be nice.
  • Having said that - If we brought in a top striker for this level we will probably get promoted - IF and with this mob, IFs are always big IFs!

    Sorry I should have been clearer. The pride thing meant in reference to either the fact he felt he could turn his career around but was sold without his say so. If he is to be given funds to replace then he shouldn't be that bothered as the performances have shown many times that it isn't working. And yes obviously that's a big if.

    Totally agree. I think Magennis can play this role when he is fully fit and on form. But beyond that we are not equipped for it.

    I think you have to be adaptable and be able to go 4-4-2, even as a plan B.

    I know we went 4-4-2 on near the end, but our two strikers when we did that have one goal between them in their admittedly short careers.
  • Still remember hearing that we would get our business done early in the close season. How long left until the season starts ....... Oh wait a minute!!!!
