He had that season at Twente the year we won 55 so I'd say its a safe bet we would have been tracking him. Trusty more likely Beale saw him while coaching QPR.

Absolutely, how's our track record with that?

I think you are the one bringing the silly here as that's not at all what I'm suggesting. When Danilo was free we spent 2 million on Colak, the very definition of a journeyman, a player no one else really wanted and who had struggled for a mid tier team in Greece. At 29 he was never going to be the answer for us as a first choice striker. He did a job at times but its no surprise he has been moved on. When Trusty went to Arsenal in Jan 22 we were set at CB so I get that but then shortly after we spent 3-4 million on big softie Ben Davies. Its just a case of making better decisions. Our transfer business last summer was poor, I don't think anyone can disagree. Beale has brought them in now but considering our interest in some players has persisted through Gerrard to Gio to Beale I'd say we were aware of them and made other choices instead. Agree. But what has happened in the past season that has turned Danilo from a project player to a 6 million striker for example? Surely he hasn't improved *that* much. My point is its not sustainable for us long term as we cant really afford to be spending like this every summer. I think the manager has managed it well recently to strike a balance of Danilos with Raskins, Lammers with Cantwells and Dessers with Cifuentes. But it wont always be possible.

Its a bad business model paying 6 million for Danilio a year after he was free and 5 million for Trusty a year or so after Arsenal got him for about 1.5 million.

Perm move. 5 million.

Looks like Trusty is off to Sheffield United.

Same but the manager always seems to mention him as doing well after the games.

Didn’t he famously say something along the lines of being better against teams in the next match as after he seen them he figured them out. Would kind of back that up. Dunno how he just couldn’t watch them before we played them and be ready for the first game 😂

Happy as is

Never seen the game as I took the kids down to Largs to enjoy the 15 degree heat and p@shing rain some call summer. Sounds like we have a major issue with defence again. The ones that are injured are too many and the ones that are fit can’t defend.

Injury prone player gets injured. Shouldn’t have signed him tbh and I like him as a player and a personality.

Sratch that he has the same illness as Soutter 🤦‍♀️

No Davies and Sakala - looks like they could be off. Soutter has an Iillness apparently.

Davies not in squad either apparently…

Heard fashion never travelled to Germany. Could be on the move.

Looks like it’ll be p*sing it down too so the bears will feel right at home.

He posted it when he was in Turkey on holiday with his family. Mid june maybe? Something like that.

Never noticed the 9 and 99 on the pic before. Looks like it was always on the cards as he posted that ages ago.

Good timing and he has had a good pre season with Feyenoord. Probably fitter than Dessers right now.

Yeah agree. Huge game.

Any game for us is pivotal in the league. How many times have we won it by goal difference or a point.

Unreal. At some point these diddy teams need to start putting something up.

Isnt he on about 80k at Chelsea?

Maybe this is intentional. If we can see it so can McInnes at Killie.
