Looks like Ben Johnson going to Ipswich, I know he was mentioned but not sure how serious we were to sign him, wages would have been an issue.

RFC my grandson a very good friend of Ben Johnson he says no interest whatsoever, the lad point blank would not entertain move to Scotland
Also as u say we could not afford wages and his signing on fee.

Think it’s hard for us to attract players of EPL standard to the club. Scottish football is a hard sell to anyone and we just can’t compete with the riches available down south. Happy that we have done some business early in the window but think the days of signing the big names are long gone. Hopefully we have unearthed a couple of gems that can earn us a profit in a year or two. Unfortunate the truth is we are going to be a stepping stone for younger talent to move down south, if that’s how it’s going to be I’d like to see us blood our own youngsters. Think there is a big change in the clubs mentality regarding transfers and youth, although I think it will be beneficial in the long run, I’m not to optimistic about next season, time will tell tho.

Never thought for a moment Ben Johnson was a realistic target
Why would you drop out the best paid league in the world for the SPFL just never made any sense at anytime.
