We've been needing another defender for some time, a striker for about the last year. Yet we still haven't signed them. Instead, we sign another midfielder - admittedly a good one who will solve the problem of not having a right winger or an attack minded midfielder.
The fact remains we don't have a decent striker fit - and only have one at the club. We may now start creating chances, but we don't have anyone good enough to take them as often as we'll need.
Why were we still scrambling about at the last minute for players we've needed for months?
Mirren Mad will investigate our transfer dealings during the international break - for now though let's concentrate on tomorrow's match against Celtic.
