I really don't understand why people are so surprised, by our transfers so far, when have we ever pushed the boat out and invested in trying to improve the team to one able to compete week in week out in the Premiership?  Its been nearly 50 years since we had a team capable of playing that standard (in the old Div 1).

If anything I would say this window has already been one of the best for some years, but while you have a situation where some individual players, cost the same as our entire squad, the FFP regulations are bordering on corrupt and our young up and coming stars can be stolen for a few thousand (which sometimes we do not even get) what do you expect.  I know many consider the Premiers League to be the best league in the world, which it may be, but it is also the most boring and predictable league.  I would bet, if we all got to chose four teams, three of which had to finish in the top 6 in the Prem, we could, where is the interest in that.  Look at every other league in England and there is nowhere near the quality differential between the clubs.

I’d have said 40 years, Salopbaggie; that team of the late 70’s, early 80’s was magnificent
