Not a lot of players are available. Agreed, very overpriced to buy, so not much happening - even in England. It'll boil down to a few loanees and small sales/undisclosed fee exits imo.

Nk89 1,274 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I think Matt Ritchie on loan for 6 months for that right side could be plausible Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuistraHairDo 12,448 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Pretty pointless doing that when we are already better than the tarriers Gerrard will be waiting for Morelos to be sold in June for an absolute war chest in our pursuit of the Champions League anyway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prso's headband 34,983 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Also talking about trimming the squad we really should be looking to sell but if not best to loan out players like Docherty, Middleton etc to other SPFL teams. They’ve done it for years and worked for them, especially against us with Mulumbu etc. Can only help in our search for the league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSuedeSambas 53,548 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 No because by and large January is a horrible window to try and sign players. I know we’ve done successful business in January before but most clubs either panic buy or over value their players because nobody wants to sell their better players at this time of year. Its a time for tweaking squads, not making big statement signings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZZed 4,510 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I think that during this window we should concentrate on getting rid of the players we are not going to use/need. This will free up some cash and we could look at getting 1 or 2 players that would improve the quality of the first team. This window is usually over priced by clubs panic buying and the selection is usually poor. If we could get rid of our surplus that would be a goood window.

Bearsden bear 2,376 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I agree we are in with a good shout. We have to watch who we bring in and their fitness levels. Last January i thought adding Davis and Defoe was a game changer, but unfortunately neither were fit enough at that time. Who knows next season we might be miles behind (doubt it) and we could rue passing up this chance. Priorty is taking that title back off the beasts and we should do everything in our power to achieve that this season. If we exert enough pressure on lennon it will become very interesting.

Quiet Jim 897 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I am sure SG has learned and grown as a manager since this time last year. Any player coming in will be 100% up to speed. No settling in period. 55 is in our destiny. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
32Blue 1,564 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Agree with OP. If they win this year they will throw the kitchen sink at 10 in a row. This season is our best chance to thwart them. And thwart them we fucking will! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenoz 30,287 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 We would never stop spendingl. The best club in the world are after Dembele from Barcelona. They never stop. I believe our summer budget should include another star. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not even if we can afford a big name signing or wages, the biggest stumbling block for me is that it’s hard to attract quality to play in Scotland Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
