We have a higher wage bill than them

I don't think we will anymore but if you look at their recruitment only Carter-Vickers and Idah will be 'high' earners. I'm sure I read somewhere that when Kyogo signed his new deal he got a raise up to 19k per week. It shows the value in recruiting from smaller markets than the ones we like to shop.

I understand that we will struggle to score against ordinary sides while Dessers plays.

Undoubtedly.

It is but we are now in a battle for second place.

If we're still paying Cantwell then we should be playing him. He can't possibly offer less than Lawrence is at the moment.

Ditto for Hagi. 2 decent players who would add something even coming off the bench.

 

Although I'm sure Cantwell has spat the dummy and doesnt want to play.

Still banging on about Cantwell?

 

Is this about nailing down second place?

I think it's a bit early to think like that.  Hearts have started poorly too, although I think Aberdeen and Dundee will be fighting for third.

 

If there are no more transfers, then I'll start to take finishing third more seriously.

We just need some new additions. A #10 transforms the side, IMO. 

 

Of course, we're skint so we have to sell first. 

I'm of that mindset.

 

Lawrence and Dessers just aren't up to it technically imo. Or physically.

 

If you've got 2 players upfront who can't run, make a simple pass or hold the ball up then you're f***ed.

[Rousseau 10,017]

Cantwell isn't playing because he asked to leave. 

 

Hagi is still behind on preseason after the Euros and his wedding.
