Very true but then one or two players can make a very ordinary side look good and most sides have at least one decent player that could do it it a higher level - even us.

Take them over the road as a perfect example, flying fairly high in the league and in a cup final then sold Armstrong and MacKay Stephen to their ahem 'biggest rivals' at the time. Fast forward a season and they're relegation fodder because in reality they were sh**e.

Yes you could be right m8. But are we going to take that player from that team that can step up.

Precisely. That's why I would rather look elsewhere.

Six months ago he must have thought he was one of the best defenders in the country. Champions League football, Scotland caps, training with the best players and coaches, playing in front of 50,000 and looking forward to winning lots of medals. He's not going to relish a relegation battle at Dundee.

Well that’s the risk you take when you go to the OF - you take the cash, secure your future but often warm the bench

That's the gamble, I do trust McIntyre to identify that player more than I'd trust McCann though.

Oh right. Well I think players at clubs like Partick, United and Ross County are not going to be put off as I imagine they'd welcome top flight football. Players are bigger clubs like Celtic though probably wouldn't fancy being involved in our situation.

Agree totally

plus the decent wages on offer..

With us being linked to every player that’s ever played for Ross County, I’m imagining JM doing his best Harry Rednapp impression as he’s phones round the boys and tells them he’s putting the band back together, just hoping that Jackson Irvine is his Niko Krancjar

Not sure he has much option, he's done it more than once in January windows before so we should maybe trust him to do it again?

For now?

Did not Macgregor get fed up of having to put his hands in his pockets every January after Macintyre-Dodd's bad summer Recruitment? County could not afford and neither can we.

No, he got fed up because they only picked up 4 points from the first 7 games despite playing Aberdeen, Celtic, Rangers and I think Hibs in that 7. They did beat us. 

Do you think he should make do with the current squad?

We can't afford not to, we need new recruitments or we're almost certainly down.

Craig Curran done deal.
