Charlie looking to sign a couple of new players

[kiltarlity]

Post match interview on Sentana, Charlie said he was,  "Looking to bring in a couple of players" in this window.

Apart from a central defender what other cover do we desperately need?

Graham

[Harry Chibber]

Centre half and a pacey winger

[kiltarlity]

Didn't we bring in Put.a.line.on as a pacy winger?

Just off the top of my head I can think of 11 positions..... :rolleyes02:

[kiltarlity]

best bit in the interview is when he critisised most of the team for just punting the ball forward as soon as they got it. He said to the interviewer "You and I can do that!"

Perhaps, he fancys a come back!? lol..

Dont suppose anyone has a linky or a full transcript of the interview?

[Harry Chibber]

I had a listen he was disappointed at the lack of effort from the players for the first game of the season, was raging, it was hard to disagree with anything he said.

2 defenders and maybe a keeper.  I know Fraser played well today,  but say he got injured after 5 mins.  No offence to Ridgers but he's never played league football,  I wouldn't feel to confident if he had to come on at Ibrox or Parkhead.

To be honest though we've known Dods has been leaving for 8 months,  its ridiculous that we haven't got anyone in,  what have we been doing!

An abundance of changes possible in midfield and yet none in the defence  :rolleyes02:

Hopefully some of those 'irons in the fire' we've been  hearing about for weeks might start happening now?

[CaleyJags07]

2 new defenders is a priority. Midfield is defintitely fine and up front should be fine if niculae gets his permit. A new central defender is urgently needed now!

Maybe Ridgers would just have to get on with it as Fraser did wen Brown left!

[RednBlackComeback]

Agree we defo need central defence cover !

Come to think of it....do we not also need competition for Hastings, Tokely and Munro?

[wyness_is_god]

Bit late for Charlie to be saying that now the damage is done  :018: He's had 2 months to sign players -of the ones he has fair enough, but we need cover at the back as a definate, McCaffrey for me just was'nt upto the pace of it today at times and his headed (clearances) were all over the place at times.

[RiG]

Central defender and a right back.

[givmeaccccc]

i agree with the previous posts why are we still looking for players now after the season has started. all the good ones are placed by now. we apparently made a profit last year so the cash is there.

this has happened to us every year that we have been in the SPL, slow start and tight with the cash.

thank goodness Gretna are in the league.

[Johnboy]

I agree with the comment about Gretna (above)

I just hope we're not going to go through the entire season hoping that whoever we are playing against will be even worse than we are..... :024:

[Guest TinCanFan]

A defender is what ICT desperately need and not a small one either, I'm talking 6"4 ish.  I think a back-up keeper is also needed to challenge Ridgers.  Someone would be good whose tall and well built like Tony Bullock or Zeljko Kalac.

[Guest paynis69]

think how stretched we are now in attack with injurys etc. imagine the same amount of absences in defence we would be properly screwed.

need at least two defenders i would say. one of good first team quality and one at least decent player for back up, maybe a youngster or something

[Yngwie]

An imposing defensive presence and ballwinner is urgently needed. I hear Raith would be happy to get Marvin Andrews off their wage bill. However, he puts his church and faith healing above his football and would be unlikely to move away from Fife.

I wouldn't be surprised if we make enquiries about Sol Bamba, but Dunfermline would be looking for more than a nominal fee.

[Guest TinCanFan]

I think Sol Bamba would be a great signing for ICT.  He's strong, tall and can win the ball.

[ictchris]

Considering that we knew Dods was leaving so long ago it's a shocker that we haven't got anyone lined up.

Superb singing...

I must admit I didn't notice that when I wrote it. :015:

[Morgan Spice]

Other than the defensive player we are needing I think we have a good squad.  Just need to show a lot more passion and put in a lot more effort than yesterday.  Hart was hardly on yesterday but he at least looked like he wanted to play.  Also Tokely doesn't normally make the sort of mistake he did for their 3rd goal.  I'm hoping it was just one of those days where everything went wrong for everybody and next week things will hopefully be back to normal.
