I just listened to Alan Curbishley on the Quickly Kevin; will he score? podcast (good listening for anyone who enjoyed 90’s football) - he said that after selling Parker in Jan 07, he couldn’t spend the money as everyone knew we had £12m in the bank and then overnight we were being quoted £6m for everyone! It’s probably a similar scenario now.
We’ll bring some players in before the end of the window but these things take time.
Right now, I just want Bowyer signed up...
That's a very good point and a very good podcast, well worth a listen.
Lyle Taylor had never played higher then the middle of League 1 when he signed for us, if Doherty is deemed good enough by Gallen and Bowyer, then I'll take their judgement over someone who's looking at a wikipedia profile of a player
Taylor signed for us also in league one and grew with us.
I'm not saying Docherty can't be a decent player in time, but we don't have time. We need a player who can walk into our side now and he hasn't played a first team game for 5 months.
I hope i'm proved wrong (if he signs of course).
How do you know Docherty can't/won't do that? Based on what exactly
I don't know, it's just my opinion. Same as you don't know he'll be any good.
My opinion is that a guy who can't get in the Rangers side and hasn't played competitive football for 5 months isn't the answer right now. He's never played at this level and it might take him weeks to get up to speed. Like i said, i hope i'm wrong and quite naturally i trust Gallen and if he feels he's the answer then i'm happy to see how it goes.

At least he passes the height test
Place your bets now...

2 loan signings and a permanent incoming.
Unlikely to see anything today then .
