This window compared to recent ones has been night and day. I'm used to us signing half a dozen 36 year olds on 4 year deals with ACL injuries, an announcement that McRacist has extended his deal until 2047, and then being told there's no money left. Since Simo has been here we've signed 4 players that look genuine quality, one who can do ok if needed, and narrowly missed out on Eremenko for reasons outwith our control. Playing Sprangler feels like a new signing really, because I'm sure if Levein had stayed he'd have got fed up by now and be away.
Whether it's enough to bridge the gap to 10th or 11th place remains to be seen, but bearing in mind the last 5 games are against the bottom 5 opponents, I don't feel like it's impossible. I do wonder if Eremenko might have been that trump card that we've been denied though. I hope not.
Whatever happens, we are worth watching now, and it was tedious and miserable watching Levein's team.
