    Would be some week

    Id be happy with a striker who is a presence upfront, who will stretch the game for us and not give defenders a moments peace

    I have a feeling Norwood and Willock might sign this week

    I feel greedy asking for more than Neil and Rigg signing new contracts

    I agree that actions speak louder than words at times but sometimes listening to people can have just as big of an effect. Sometimes someone saying "I'm wrong and I'll do better" can be more effective. Not listening to people can be seen as blinkered. Not having a go at you personally before that's thrown at me but for me listening is just as important as seeing.

    Bullshitters and bluffers are always promising to do better when they're exposed.

    Do better first and then I'll listen. That seems fair to me after the last year.

    I'll bet he mentioned 'the group' though.

    I know what you’re saying but we could lose 30 goals this window so also need finishers

    The less we hear from our director of football the better, for me.
    Could I suggest
    1. An end of season review / summary
    2 Comment at end of each transfer window
    I feel this should suffice, unless something happens, replacement of Head Coach etc.
    Any more would suggest something isn't quite right or that the DoF has an ego.
    All in my opinion, of course.

    An article in the Chronicle about Rusyn. I’ve actually got high hopes for him and understand why last season was difficult.

    Id want 1 of each tbf, obviously we would love a ross stewart that does both but if we can't then 1 who is a presence and another who is a finisher would be ideal

    I just think if you have a presence upfront who drags defenders all over the place itll also create more scoring chances for the attacking mids/wingers

    Yeah get that, its a balancing act as no point getting a finisher who doesn't offer anything else and likewise no point getting a presence who is an awful finisher
