Whether you think what companies pay their employees should be secret or not is irrelevant, it generally is. I'd be pissed if my company posted my salary for everyone to see, and they would be equally annoyed if I went around posting what I got paid. Anything you see online in this respect is most likely someone's guess.

Those lists online are unlikely to be real, probably copied from Football Manager or something like that. How would that information get into the public domain?

The only link we have with nahmani is that his loan is ending at st Mirren, and some vague comment that his parent club could loan him somewhere else, including Scotland. We haven't been mentioned other than forum speculation.

I'm more than happy with Bair's contribution so far, although my expectations were similarly low. When we signed him I assumed we saw a big athlete and hoped we could teach him enough football to be useful, and that's kind of what we've done. I'd say that Bair has moved on a bit from being just a "project" but he would benefit from having a striker near him. We are doing that thing that motherwell does. Bring in a player that no one else wanted, make him look good enough that another club will bite and give us money, then cancel the magic spell the minute the money hits the bank. Any questions? Ask Aberdeen.

St J are below us in the league after the same number of games, and we're the worst team to ever play the game with a total diddy gobshite manager apparently, and haven't even bothered to sign three strikers. Every manager below us should be fired.

Paul mcginn for me. Class act today.

You have to take each game in isolation, and with that, a point there is never terrible, especially with the squad situation. We were a shambles for their goal, and looked so brittle from set pieces. It looked miles offside to me, and the dodgy var image they showed was not convincing in the slightest. The ref was a fucking clown all game. Outside of that we were the better team, but only managed to cut them open a couple of times, in each case with excellent, fast, passing moves. But we paid the price for having just one striker. Paton will get stick, but he and spittal were constantly trying to make something happen, and put in a power of work. Butcher looked better, but has to cut out the nonchalance on the ball, as it nearly cost us dearly. Halliday was a calm presence, but we didn't get him involved enough, and Nicholson looks handy. Miller is a class act. Shout out to Mcginn, he was excellent.

Not sure if we can cancel the deal, because that would put him out for the season since he's played for us and Fleetwood. I know 3 months is effectively the season, but there would still be games left.

I'm good with blaming var.

Nicholson is mainly a winger.

Tierney's legs are made of wet toilet paper tubes. Must be a name thing. It's a shame because I liked him.

I think Wilkinson left prior to the Biereth recall. It's a tricky one as well, he wanted to move closer to home, and while playing out the season with us may have made sense, as soon as another club is interested it would have been difficult to say no and risk having an unsettled player going through the motions during a relegation fight.

Nothing mind blowing there. It's a sellers market in January, and find me a team that doesn't want a striker.

Why would the manager appoint the head of recruitment? That should be the board/ceo's job with some input from the manager at best.

Is the point of a head of recruitment not to offer continuity in that area regardless of who the manager is? As such, do we really want the manager being the one responsible for hiring the HoR?

Mainly a left winger, so chances are he'd be in the spot Gent played in against Alloa. There was mention of him having played through the middle recently, but most of his games have been out wide. So 3 of our 4 signings so far are lefties, which is my favorite footedness.

That would make more sense, we tend to do a decent job keeping trialists and unsigned players out of our posted pics and videos.

No one linked us with the dundee 2, that was pure speculation in here.

We see our own transfer mistakes more than we see others, because most of us don't care about Ross County squad players. With the finances available to us, when we sign a known quantity, they're going to be flawed in some way. Blair Spittal is a good example of this, he has been an ever present for us and a potent threat going forward with a good number of goals and assists, but he isn't fast. There's a reason players drop to our level, and pace is probably his. He will make a good career hovering around mid table in Scotland, and hopefully we can keep him. Despite some of the stick he gets in here, most teams would kill for someone that produces what he does. If we were able to sign 10 players at Spittals level, we'd be in a very good place, but we probably can't afford that. When we sign an unknown, there's that chance that we unearth a gem, but that's less and less likely as every club has access to the same data and analysis as we have, and for the most part they have more money. So, we have to try and be clever and shop in non traditional markets, or bring in someone who we think we can improve, i.e. a project. Because of that, we don't want to out all our eggs in one basket, in case the project doesn't pan out, so we need to bring in a couple and hope that one works out. We already know the pitfalls of loan signings. Then you get to January signings, which at our level is picking up the scraps. We're not prizing a good player from another team that wants to keep them, so we have to rake through the cast offs and see if we can reclaim something. Then, since we don't have the chance to sign anyone again before the end of the season, we naturally panic and stock up on a couple extra just in case. On top of that there's form and injuries. We can't afford to let players hang around in the squad until they are in form, or drop first teamers when they are out of form, so we often have to move player on in the hope that we can bring someone in who can hit the ground running. Some clubs are better at this than others, but I'm sure that if someone did some analysis, the margins would be pretty small.

I think the championship is more likely.

How often have our fans legitimately been unable get a ticket for a game because they are sold out?

Turnbull has won a bunch of medals and made a fortune, and he's still just 24. He will be just fine.

We need a lot, but we don't neccessarily need to sign them in order.

I wonder how many clubs have made last minute panic signings just to appease their fan base. It would take some balls to stop after the properly identified targets didn't pan out, and just say "we will have to make do with what we have". Instead most teams will try to find *someone* Then you're left with someone you didn't really want for at best six months, if not longer. It's also a sellers market, where agents know they can move on clients for inflated prices by generating a panic driven bidding war in the last day of the window. They can hold clubs to ransom. We all fall for it too. Imagine we made 2-3 really good signings in the next couple of days, but shut up shop on the last day of the window. We'd be furious. We all want that last minute deadline day signing.
