Barry Douglas signed

Delighted that we've signed someone of note, but refuse to get carried away. I really worry about our defending.

Whilst Douglas, Ayling et al are marauding in attack mode, we'll be exposing our 2 CBs to breakaway attacks & that seriously worries me. We lost a load of goals last year with traditional FBs beside them & 2 DMs in front of them. This could be much worse, defensively, than the Grayson or McAllister days. Unless, of course, we start scoring goals as often as we did then - in fact, more often! Which takes me on to my second major worry - scoring goals. So far, I haven't seen as many chances being created as last season, for instance. And even fewer getting converted. Worrying.

Still really looking forward to the season ahead, I might add, but have some genuine concerns that a couple of brilliant signings will not cover. On the other hand, I guess we've yet to see the first team play together. Once they really know what they're doing, we might be able to breathe a sigh of relief. I hope.

No no no no no no no !! ...we can't have signed anybody permanently as the one who claims to be always right said "

I have a rumour that has more credence that all the other ****e posted here.
No permanent signing will be made without the selling of either Pontus or Sais and even then 75% of the money received will be off into Rads back pocket.
We might get a couple of loans but they will be wiki merchants from the lower leagues of Italy and Spain.
Even Phil Hay is now sounding desperate about whats going on and he has to keep Rad sweet or lose any chance of getting info.
Those of you giving Rad the benefit of the doubt are partly responsible for the mediocrity that is all through the club."

or could the oracle have been wrong ?

Seems like a good signing and if we can follow up with a striker or two we maybe will be able to look forward to the season

Given your like for these little bets and your confidence in your pontificating do you want £20 on this not being trumped before the end of the transfer window? <whistle>
