Yeah, thats a downside. Unless he comes in for a low fee on low wages for 4 years and you get 4 good years out of him. Also you would expect if we have Dessers 28, Colak 29/30. Roofe (lol) 30. Then you'd expect a younger guy to come in whos perhaps a bit of a gamble (like Morelos was) as competition.

20 years ago Aberdeen spent 1 million on a player Paul Bernard. They also spent about 800k on Dean Windass who was highly coveted down south at the time, Motherwell, Dundee, Hibs all spent more money than they spend now. SPFL must be the only footballing economy that's went backwards over the last 20 years.

If we somehow manage to keep our co-efficient alive for this then I expect FIFA to move the goalposts to avoid including us. Typical miserable me I know.

Player of the Season - Tillman Biggest Flop - Where to begin.... Will go with Morelos. Capable of so much offered.. petulance and not much else. Most Improved - Sakala Unsung Hero - Tav - just for being fit and available and clearly playing through an injury when we were down to the bare bones Best Signing - Cantwell. No Doubt.

He'd be daft not to. Talk is Spurs want to play hardball over a fee. Why would a club pay 100 million + for him now when they can get him on a free next year and just give him a massive sign on fee and massive wages.

Spurs have 4 decent pedigree players on loan who are due to leave this summer, Harry Kane in his last year looking to leave, Son getting on a bit as is lloris. Will be an interesting summer for them. Wonder if he’ll be raiding Japan? I have a sneaky feeling he is a fall guy for a season of consolidation while they look to rebuild for a bigger and season after next. Pretty sure this is a faster getaway than the Italian job… -

Couldn't get out quick enough. Really is some turnaround. -
A sad indictment on our society.

This is true and I admit I was being facetious. -
Getting things done swiftly is amazing. Getting all these guys sorted and well in the door for pre season gives me a great level of confidence. Compare this type of business with our pursuit of Colak last summer. A guy not wanted by his club, who wanted to come here, wasn't on big money, club didn't want big money for him and no one else was interested. It still took us about a month and into pre season before signing him. Amateur stuff.

Its an interesting one this. A guy from nowhere who wasn't far from being hounded out the door by the other mob, but a combination of COVID restrictions coinciding with a really bad run of injuries and the re-introduction of the 5 sub rule seemed to galvanize his team and allow him to strengthen before what would have been a massive old firm game. Had that game gone ahead and they lost to a uninspiring but relentless winning Gio driven Rangers who knows what would have happened, he found some real fortune in that sliding doors moment. Instead the game was pushed back, the injuries subsided, we dropped points in-between and they bought some new players which added a new dimension to their play. Obviously he still has to manage these games and win football matches, but football is a game of fine margins at times and when margins are moved in your favor it definitely helps. Who will take over? Who knows. Part of me was hoping he'd stay as Beale will have his number for next season. However this will change their entire dynamic, the squad was shaped and built by him for his style of play. Will be a busy summer in both sides of Glasgow.
