This was never the plan was it. Scrambling around during the last five hours of the window trying to get things done. No idea what’s gone wrong and who is to blame but this summers transfer dealings have certainly not gone to plan.
TS did literally say expect a few of the deals to happen very late in the window, to be fair.
That was a few weeks ago
I’m assuming or at least hoping that he meant that a couple of cherry on the cake signings would happen on the last day. Not the very basics of a balanced squad. Still five hours to pull it out of the hat but we should be done and dusted for this window days ago.
It’s not only down to us, it’s also about when clubs are ready to let players go.
St Johnstone skipper Jason Kerr is set to complete a £600,000 move to Wigan.
The 24-year-old started the day heading to London to sign for Charlton, but their League One rivals came in with a last-gasp rival bid to snap him up.
Kerr, who captained Saints to a League Cup and Scottish Cup double last season, is in the final year of his deal at McDiarmid Park.
And with that in mind, Saints chairman Steve Brown has decided to cash in and take the money on offer.
Kerr came through the Saints youth setup, having signed for the Perth club as a 16-year-old, and will go down in history as one of their greatest skippers following last season’s heroics.
Wigan have been beset by off-field problems in recent seasons but have found stability under new owner Talal Mubarak Al-Hammad so are now one of the most ambitious clubs in League One.

Steve Brown letting us down, kick him out from Charlton TV!
He would have been straight in to the starting line up I reckon. We aren't gonna recover from that one - if we thought he was signing this AM I cant see us moving fast enough to get a player of equivalent quality so quickly. Should have tied it up and put it to bed ages ago.

Jeez.
Taylor and Stockley would bully the shite out of them on the pitch
