Whatever idiot gave Alexander that new deal basically crippled the club. Yep, I and others made this point a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be wrong but as the average gate attendance’s includes the away fans, is it not possible that their crowds are larger because they allow the arse cheeks more than one stand? Also, what is the comparison between how many we take to their grounds to what they bring to Fir Park? They don't they stopped that this season. OF only get one stand in Paisley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are welcome to him at that crazy price, the club were quite right not to try and match it. He hasn't kicked a ball since November but you just know he will score against us on Saturday.

Mccus28 Posted February 1, 2024 Report Share Posted February 1, 2024 We need a striker!!!!!!!!!!!!! But we will probably sign another fullback before the deadline to give us an almost full squad of fullbacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he does I certainly won't be booing him, but won't be cheering him also. I will focus on oor lads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santheman Posted February 1, 2024 Report Share Posted February 1, 2024 I'm glad the club didn't get involved in a crazy bidding war for Van Veen. Killie gambling that he can hit the ground running and his goals will guarantee them a top 6 spot and possible European place (which on current form they might get anyway). If they don't however, then its basically money spent for mid table mediocrity like us. History tells us that people with more money than sense piling cash into a Scottish football club at any level usually ends in tears. I'm actually more pleased at getting Devine on loan than disappointed at not getting VV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbybingo Posted February 1, 2024 Report Share Posted February 1, 2024 What's the difference in prize money between 4th, 5th and 6th place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsterwood Posted February 1, 2024 Report Share Posted February 1, 2024 What a signing for Kilmarnock. Was hoping we would show some ambition and get van veen. Maybe get a good cup run or chance of top 6. No ambition or innovation from board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have chance of cup run and higher league place and also extra insurance against the drop. Big chance missed there. He will get them into Europe and longer in cup.

Van Veen is a confidence player, give him a debut against Cove and if he scores a few he'll push on. Play him against us and he's under pressure which he can't handle.

It's about what we can afford. It is about ambition and speculating. A proven goal scorer for a few grand extra that we could make back by place in table and cup run. Have also money from players we sold wilkinon and Turnbull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mothman Posted February 1, 2024 Report Share Posted February 1, 2024 1 hour ago, wellup83 said: I'd rather we didn't break the bank for him. This is nothing but an example of an agent trying to create a bidding war. Let him go. I'd rather we spent a bit of the budget on keeping Spittal. I agree, I don't think we should deviate from our wage structure (albeit I have no knowledge of what this is) for anybody, just personal opinion. Spittal has been an excellent signing, quite an underrated player I think. Good luck to the new signings - if Devine can play on either side that gives us some good options in wide areas. I'm quietly optimistic for the remainder of the season, be good to get another forward in before the deadline..! One more would give us a 1st team squad of 23 presuming nobody departs. As others have mentioned, Kettlewell and co. have done a pretty good job of trimming the squad down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
