    That may be too much to hope for this time round. As Pete says to get to the CL pot of gold is paramount; if we get a reasonable draw then fine, but consider if we miss out (and I'm not confident v Aalborg at this moment), then the consequences are: 1. The King and McGregor WILL depart; 2. NO money to strengthen the team at the January window. Then EVEN if we win the SPL there will be no money to strengthen us for 2009/10! At all costs, we must avoid the fixture pile-up which cost us the league. So that means forget about the Scottish Cup and League Cup. Use them to blood youngsters, giving them the experience in meaningful games that Frankie (I think) talked about.

    A good recent example of the kind of player we should now be going for is the guy (forgot his name) Arsenal have just signed from Bremen. He'll likely not play in the first team and didn't cost anything. We could have given him first team football and Europe and guess what? He's right sided and a right attacking midfielder.

    Be baffled no more. Dailly and Weir will soon yield to Old Father Time, Broadfoot will provide good cover at CB and Webster will be given more time to recover, if he ever does.
  4. alexscottislegend
    Don't doubt he's a decent player - BUT he's available on a pre-contract in January so what the hell are we doing offering money now for anyway? Get Davis instead.

    Come to think of it, wouldn't "March of the Toreadors" be a good anthem?
  6. alexscottislegend
    The good news is that we could be rid of Cousin, but the bad is that a defender is not our priority after last night - it's a midfielder, be it Davis or anyone. How can WS not see that?
  7. alexscottislegend
    Sorry young man, but Rooney was given his debut v Arsenal as a substitute and cracked in a beauty! But generally I agree - Fleck would be better to come in when we're playing a bit better, but he'll be a star for us, don't worry.
  8. alexscottislegend
    I'm with you on this. Don't know what the Toon fans think, though.
  9. alexscottislegend
    Cheers, Frankie. Still an indifferent and bland website though..
  10. alexscottislegend
    Just checked again - which sub menu is it under?
  11. alexscottislegend
    Agree totally. The worst thing is the "Have your say" section - full of fan club comments. I wouldn't be surprised if they were made up. There's also no complete list of the previous season's results.
  12. alexscottislegend
    Agree with Cammy's 11 rather than what he thinks is Ws's. with the following exceptions: Broadfoot at CB in place of Dailly (that's his position) and Velicka up front in place of Cousin - he knows all about Kaunas and is fullt match fit. But, you're right - there's no room for slip-ups. 1-0 would be a great result.
  13. alexscottislegend
    Agree. It's a crazy decision, given our propensity to pick up more than our share of injuries. Moreover, if we lose heavily - and that is a possibility - what will that do to our confidence?
  14. alexscottislegend
    ^^ I think you're right - WS doesn't even know his formation, the friendlies tell us that. I know he's never had his full squad available, but you'd have at least thought we'd get a clue from the pre-season games. We can take it Miller will start, but it seems he'll be deployed on the left like v. Schalke and Raith yeterday. Because of the sheer numbers of strikers, and the dearth of midfielders, 4-3-3 makes sense. So your team isn't far out. Main area of debate is left flank - Beasley/Lafferty (though he can play anywhere up front)/Fleck. Don't forget also, though you don't like him, Adam is our best set-piece 'specialist.'! And we may need these free kicks etc. more than ever.

    What is it with our club and injuries? Is it just me or do we seem to get much more than other clubs? The law of averages would seem to say that these things even themselves out over the season, but we seem to get much, much more than anyone else. If so, why? I'm seriously worried about the Kaunas game, now.
  16. alexscottislegend
    Sure it's a must, but it's not as big a must as getting into the Champions League proper, so we can get the dosh just to buy one or two players. Dread to think where we'd be if we hadn't made the group stages last year. Probably unable to hang on to Carlos and MacG I would think.
  17. alexscottislegend
    Couldn't agree more. Thought the Healy episode was amusing; brought back memories of Gazza. Get him signed up! we shouldn't over -react to wind-ups - they have Boruc, we have Healy.
  18. alexscottislegend
    I think that's a good objective analysis. Too many gers fans think we're still living in the Souness era, when English clubs and media were jealous of our spending power. Now I think we have to concentrate all our energies on scouting and finding gems with a good sell-on fee. Maybe that's what we're up to with Lafferty. Been said before, but PSV should be our model - forget high-profile signings. For me just holding on to Cuellar and McGregor is like new signings anyway.
  19. alexscottislegend
    Said on another thread Varynen would be a good signing but apparently McCoist 'distanced' himelf from those reports. Can't for the life of me see why. Can't be the wages; he's not from the premiership. like Mendes.
  20. alexscottislegend
    More than that, he has a bit of 'dig' as well. But sadly wages might be the sticking point.
  21. alexscottislegend
    Took a look at the YouTube clips that Ian posted and thought: this guy is just what we need, two-footed, creative, bit of pace, then guess what? McCoist has "distanced" himself from reports that we could sign a player who is a good age and wouldn't cost the earth. Anyone know the Samaritans number?
  22. alexscottislegend
    Oh, aren't we a cynical lot here on gersnet:)
  23. alexscottislegend
    That might be a way out. Fulham can afford to play hardball but I think SDM is banking on a last minute price reduction before Thursday night. Dangerous game if you ask me.
  24. alexscottislegend
    [ Maybe he should have thought about there being more to life than money when he told us where to stick the contract offer. That's the point. Surely we have too much pride to go offering a way back to former under-achievers who are only looking to come back because their wife is Scottish. Unless their name is Gattuso:)
  25. alexscottislegend
    Left-sided again, according to Evening Times. Any views on him, Pete?
