Nope It was multiple fuck ups every week, he's going to have to be faultless for the rest of the season to get anywhere near even, if we're hoping for promotion some time soon he can't be anything more than squad filler. Hyperbolic nonsense even Steven Tweed and Justin Whittle didn't make 'multiple fuck ups every week'

Why are we talking about Lyle Taylor? Hopefully just people discussing the absolute worst scenarios that will never happen.

Steve Cook would be good on a short term deal until the end of the season. We could spend the Souttar money in the summer without teams hiking up the price knowing we are desperate.
BUT please not Lyle Taylor.

I’m normally quite positive about signings but I think Cook would not be a good one.

Steve cook is 1 of a number of options

We’re in this shite position because of signings just like Steve Cook. Ashley Williams, Stephen Ward, Aden Flint, James Chester, Danny Batth. Awful ageing defenders. No actually, what am I talking about. It was too much glamour and not enough experience. Mental take! Absolutely this. When will we learn?

[/a] Steve cook is 1 of a number of options[/quote] I'd prefer we go with Edwards or Johnston, but an old head is always useful provided he still has the legs. Maybe we go for two, as with Flint gone, Taylor injured and then Harry gone, we'd be down three CBs from last week.

If we sell Sottar, why can't we have Ronnie Edwards and Steve Cook
We would have lost Soutts, Flint and possibly Taylor for the season, plus Jags and Fox out of contract in June. Makes sense to get them both

Every time I see him I think he’s got a big mistake in him.

You can only go for what is available
If Soutar goes, which I’m certain he won’t, it’s mid season, if cook is the guy that comes in, it would only be until the summer.
Neil is a smart manager, he said it himself, you can’t buy someone that isn’t for sale.

Cook is only 31, should help keep us up, Taylor just no. The bigger worry is it has been odds on that Harry would be going after his World Cup,yet again we seem to have no plan to recruit players with a good long term future to improve us. Perhaps there will be a surprise tomorrow but I hope they don't expect too many season ticket renewals if things can't pick up, will be back to the 12000 hard core which will just reduce our income even more.

I can't see us anywhere near the playoffs this season or relegation come to that. We need to have a holding position until a major summer clear out. In those circumstances we fill the gaps with tried and tested loan players, so to a great extent age doesn't matter, just the ability to get ys through to the end of this season.

Makes sense to get them both It would make sense to sign them both as they are different types of defenders. Edwards looks to be a better version of Wilmot. Cook is not as good as Souttar in the air, but hes pretty good at tackling dribblers, so would be a very good short term replacement.

If Harry goes tomorrow, we need at least one signing that whets the appetite of the fans. Steve Cook and Lyle Taylor simply won't do that.
I get that the three newcomers so far look promising, but selling our one high profile saleable asset requires a statement signing in response.

I think Souttar will go unfortunately. He won’t want to turn this chance down and I don’t think Stoke will stand in his way.

A statement signing can wait until the summer with more time and options, solid squad improvements will do right now, ballance alone could make a big difference to the side as it stands.

I can see the logic of that, but right now I want to make sure we reach the summer still in this league - a statement signing with League One football to look forward to would rather dull the lustre.
