    Tongue-in-cheek, don't get offended.

    Sorry to be cheeky, old chap, but don't criticise anyone's spelling (center) till you've learnt to spell 'definitely'!:devil: Stands back and waits for smack in the mouth....

    Think you got it spot on. Villa seems a strange choice; I could have understood B'ham. It's clear he functions best with Miller as a partner and I can't think where he'd find a similar player to feed off.

    Perfect chance to Fleck to be played in his true position.
  5. alexscottislegend
    Come on! Injury has taken a lot of time away from Thomson. He threatens to suffer the same fate as Stevie Smith, and going back further, Alan McLaren.
  6. alexscottislegend
    Agree with Zappa. You watch him play - he very rarely passes to a team-mate, and his goal ratio is shocking for an attacking midfielder. Potentially - and I stress potentially - we got a better payer in Thomson.

    Would be like a new signing, getting Charlie back. Unfortunately the abuse he got from many on here makes you wonder about some fans. There was - and is - a problem with him and that is that he currently plays central midfield for B'Pool, whereas with us he would be shunted out wide left - a position for which he does not have the pace. If you put him in CM, then you either move Davis out wide right and couple him with Thomson or Edu - or you put him with Davis in CM, Since one player is to be a sitting midfielder then I'm not sure you'd get the best out of Davis there. Sometimes, tactics mean that some players just cannot be fitted in to a team - no reflection on their ability or attitude.

    You're the first to cheer me up today. Hope to God you are right.

    Don't think we have too much to worry about from a defender who wears lipstick. http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/spl/celtic/yes-i-am-a-lunatic-but-only-in-a-good-way-jos-hooiveld-has-bags-of-personality-but-can-the-defender-deliver-on-the-park-1.999093

    Take your point, but they're not great options, are they?
  11. alexscottislegend
    The other options being Boogie if he can be bothered to come home, Weir and McCulloch? That is exactly why we need to hang on to players of this calibre. As Andrew pointed out these two are unlikely to get a sniff of any EPL side in the short term at least; it could actually wreck their careers.
  12. alexscottislegend
    My gut feeling is the same as yours, but cutting off our noses etc. does spring to mind. But yes, they should rot if they really want to leave.
  13. alexscottislegend
    Can't believe this. It is clear that agents have ruined the game. Soon team loyalty will be a thing of the past. I hope to God we can hang on to these two till their early twenties at least. Otherwise we should scrap youth policies and sell Murray Park. I'm serious; what is the point of rearing our own only to find that we are supplying someone else's first team. What it means for us is that we will need to be satisfied with rejects or players looking to wind down before retirement a la Weir. Most depressing thing I've heard about the club in a long time, including our financial state.
  14. alexscottislegend
    He's been playing Wilson and Fleck has had limited opportunities because of the form of Miller; Steven McLean is a different class altogether. These youngsters are our real future. Wilson may fetch �£2m now, but that's peanuts when you consider what we could get once he's had a bit more experience against better opposition, viz Champions League. Once we accept the idea of selling off the family silver then we've just become a selling club, like Hibs.
  15. alexscottislegend
    NoBoydy does it better. (come on, I've only had 2 groans in my career!
  16. alexscottislegend
    So what you're saying is, forget yoth policies because we'll lose all our our players anyway? Right, let's just scour the Junior leagues for bargains and hope that they don't become too good for us.
  17. alexscottislegend
    No argument - pay him.
  18. alexscottislegend
    what we should be doing is guaranteeing our top youngsters first team football - and pointing out that if they leave before they've garnered some decent experience they'll likely be propping up someone's reserve team. I doubt Wilson is ready yet to go straight in to Fergie's starting Xl. It could be a bad move if you make a couple of appearances then get binned for some multi-million signing. Playing for Rangers F.C. should be seen as an honour in itself. If we let our future go on the cheap or without a fight, then change our name to Hibs.
  19. alexscottislegend
    Watched the game on ESPN. Where the hell did 6 minutes of extra time come from? Whenever Fergie moans the officials give in to him.
  20. alexscottislegend
    You thought he got the fortune decision 'spot on'. (your words):devil:
  21. alexscottislegend
    Assume they'll beat Killie when it's re-arranged - still leaves us 4 ahead. But points in the bag is always better - I though we proved that last year. Just imagine the pressure on them. And we still have an Ibrox OF game to put them to bed.
  22. alexscottislegend
    That's my favourite Boyd goal - shades of Van Basten. and with his LEFT foot, a fact often forgotten; he's almost equally good with both feet. Just needs to improve his heading now:)
  23. alexscottislegend
    I'll probably get slaughtered for this, considering how worried they are on Kerrydale Street, but I'd take a draw right now. Not having Miller and Beasley has changed things a bit for me. We don't need to win; if we do, I'd say that's the title wrapped up, but if we keep the gap to 7 points, then 'they' will be unable to claw it back, especially considering the goal difference. The OF game is due a draw - why not this Sunday?
  24. alexscottislegend
    Player of the Year now. And I mean Scottish, not Rangers. Who would've thought it 6 months ago?
  25. alexscottislegend
    No need - Kirk Broadfoot will handle the traitor all on his own.
