Transfer Window Update

06/01/12: JM - "We'll definitely have new faces at the club before the end of the month, there is no doubt about that."

With five days of the transfer window gone, we've yet to hear any announcements from the club with regards to new signings. However Manager Jim McIntyre is hard at work trying to secure the signatures of players to bring them to East End Park.  Jim said,

"It seems I'm spending every spare second at the moment on the phone. I think I spend seven hours yesterday on and off.  But that's part of the job and January is a crazy time.  A lot of clubs don't want to sell or loan players until the end of the month because they want to see what happens with other clubs coming in for their squad and where there gaps might be.It can be both time consuming and frustrating.  We've had a couple of enquires for quality players that have been knocked back but we'll keep trying."

We asked Jim if the club's current league position made it more difficult to bring in the quality of players needed to help rescue the Pars current season and secure SPL survival.  Jim said:-

"No, it's not the attraction of coming to the team that's bottom of the league that's causing the frustrations. The bottom line is that if you're a player at a club and you're not getting games, you'll be desperate to get out and play no matter what the league position of the club you're going to."

"We'll definitely have new faces at the club before the end of the month, there is no doubt about that."
