    Its not just the affording though. Its the impact on the the salary cap. if you spend big you need to guarantee performances. Hence why signing known players is a good thing
    Free transfers have signing on fees

    With the salary cap you can't afford to waste money so yes scouting good but you need to have some known players

    He had some cracking youngsters coming through and wasn't afraid to play them

    The same salary cap that hasn't been voted in by clubs...... Oh and the new proposal by the wonders of the EFL, is that players purchased BEFORE 6th August will not qualify towards the POSSIBLE salary cap. So the list by Tolly856 don't qualify but the scouting does......

    Honestly I don’t know. Gut feeling says no, but maybe I’m old hat in thinking we need someone a little older and ‘gritty’ to sit in the CM. I can’t comment on Watt but sounds as though he has a lot of promise, so in that sense maybe from a start XI we are. However from a squad POV i think we need more.

    Callum just stated that his personal goal is 10 goals this year AND that promotion has to be the bare minimum.

    If he gets 10 goals, we will certainly finish in the top 2.

    Listening to him speak tonight I am far happier about his signing now. Very focused on the job he is here to do and on the same wavelength as the manager about his role. Hopefully he will also have the ability to back it up.
