Hope I'm wrong but looking unlikely that we'll get anyone else in before the weekend. Would've thoughy another winger and CM would be a priority at the moment.
What baffles me is why we allowed McGeehan & Bird out on loan without replacements lined up. Williams getting sent off has now left us short in central midfield. Can see it being another window where we're scrambling around at the end of the month trying to push deals through.
Just thinking the same. I think he asks for questions from people on twitter to put to Hecky. Fair play, answers to the rumours straight from the horse's mouth.
We’ve done this for the last 3 transfer windows n then struggled to find replacements which also baffles me
We don’t seem to do anything with importance regarding incoming transfers anymore but we’re quick to ship them out regardless
It does seem strange that we let a number go when we didn't seem to have replacements in. I can only assume Hecky sees Gardner, Potts, Williams, Moncur and Mallan as sufficient cover at present. But I think even with those five all available we still really lack another DM. And we are now one injury away from being really stretched.
Things are taking time but will be done. Don’t think a CDM was planned this week anyway. Maybe tried with Williams out but no point rushing it and getting a quick loan in. I fully expected a CM in though but think European agents are pissing us about.
Yeah I still have faith that we'll have a good window - just worry about the possible short-term ramifications of say Gardner getting injured now. But as you state, no point rushing into signings - and it's clear that all transfers can get held up over a variety of issues.
I think we’re also missing that creative/passing midfielder that can spray passes all over n can put the ball on a sixpence in n around our strikers
Good interview from Hecky if you listen and also people can relate a fair bit of it to what I have said on here.
How does it put the Fletcher rumour to bed. Buchan says "No change on Ashley Fletcher since I asked last week". Hecky told him last week that Fletcher is someone he's interested in. It doesn't mean we aren't still trying to get him.
We get rid of some players first week in tyke window. We have ni replacements lined up ... Just watch we will get to the last week and will be left with the bottom of the barrel. The same Everytime with this club ffs !!!!
Based on his one appearance, I think Mallan could be a creative midfielder we need, he certainly has the ability. But just don't think Hecky is going to give him a run in the team.
You could be spot on with that because all reports coming out of the U23’s are that Mallan as been very well from September/October time onwards
