[quote="Glostergull"]Although we probably can't in all honesty find enough money to attract players from The Scottish leagues. I think we may find that we have benifited in kind with Aaron Downes. He has left Rovers as they can attract those players. I wonder if Rovers would have been so keen to let him go if they didn't think they could get some of the better players in from Scotland.
I see that today they have signed Gareth Kenny fro Dundee Utd. If they can get players of that calibre and his profile seems to show he is a player of some standing, Then we can capitalise by signing players who have to step sideways to allow them to filter into our leagues.
This on paper should be a really good season. But that's on paper. I worry slightly (but only slightly) that if we have a really good set of players. Have the oppo also got an improved squad and will it all cancel itself out. But bearing that in mind, The quality of football on show should go up considerably even if we finish way lower down the league than normal. So that our entertainment value increases. I for one will be very happy with that. After all, that's one of the things we go for.[/quote]
M.L. said recently that TQY paid good wages, & don't forget that Falkirk had to let Bobby go this time last year as they could not afford senior players wages. We were obviously able to afford him, & also provide him with "a door" back into English football, you will remember that he was at Villa as a youth. Things in Scotland are even worse this year as a result of the Rangers problem.
Give it a few weeks, & I believe that there may be a few good Jocks out on loan to L1 or L2 clubs. By the January transfer window the Scotish clubs could be well in trouble, & players with families will want to move south to secure their futures.
