Phil Brown has been on a cheap shopping trip lately signing up at least three new players with a fourth possibly on the way.

The first signing is the Senegalese international, Khalilou Fadiga. He is on a one-month loan from Brown’s previous club Bolton Wanderers and should reinforce our midfield line-up. Not stopping there, Brown felt the need to take yet another midfielder on and snapped up Aston Villa’s Peter Whittingham on a 3-month loan.

With the loss of Rasiak, it seemed only right to try find a striker. Nothing has been signed yet but it looks like Coventry City’s Stern John will be moving North on loan. Not to mention, we’ve also take on former Aston Villa, Southampton and Livingston winger Hassan Kachloul on trial.

It looks like Brown is trying to build up a striking midfield alongside Idiakez and Peschi. Its not a bad idea - all these players are free so it’s money well spent!
