  1. I wonder if we will get the chance to see more of our younger players in the first team?. I don't mean all of them at once, but will WS try a few of them in the first team to see how they would handle it ?. Or is it a case of keep playing the established first choice players?. I for one would like to see one or two of them.

     

    I would love a formation of the December team, Beasley and Novo out wide maybe kids in the middle. Defence will be a mixture as well maybe Broadfoot to play some games? Upfront not sure what his selection will be maybe Boyd? Novo might play upfront with Boyd and someone else on the right.

     

    Too many combinations to think about :D.

  2. Not to clued up on this ruling but if my memory serves me right was there not a kick up when chelsea signed John Obi Mikel i know man utd were involved in that as well but i am sure there was a tribunal set for that transfer and also the transfer of the young chelsea lad Gael Kakuta i think he was signed from Rennes or a team like that and Chelsea had to go through courts with that one! Not sure but i would reckon if a player is nutured at a club then a club from another country comes in i am sure there is still a fee to be made!

     

    Chelsea were banned from transfers for a season or more because of the Kakuta scenario but managed to appeal it. This is before Kakuta signed proper terms with the French club so he was on a youth contract and I think Chelsea paid a small compensation package rather than a big fee.

     

    Anyway Wilson is on a pro contract but tribunal fees never work out for the best with the clubs losing their talent. I believe Man City were wanting �£10m for Daniel Sturridge, they never got that.

  3. I thought he would follow suit and sign like Fleck. Thought he was going to sign after the Hearts away match. I have no problem letting him go for a good fee but he might regret the decision to sit in the reserve team of a EPL team with a considerable amount of defenders. Unless the new 25 man EPL rule disadvantages Liverpool.

  4. Hutton had signed a 5 year contract just 6 months earlier. Wilson has 12 months left on his contract. Why would they pay �£8 million for a player they could sign for free a year later? Also the idea of Wilson being worth �£8 million right now, regardless of the length of his contract, is madness.

     

    EPL prices he would be worth �£25m, De jong went to Man City with about 12 months or 6 months left on his contract for �£17m.

  5. All these guys (not to many on here recently) who baulk at signing SPL players, I guess they wouldn't have signed Goram, Ferguson and Brown either? Whilst Scottish football may be of a lower standard now we have always (in recent memory) cherry picked the cream of the SPL (or equivalent league) and will continue to do so. It is what the top teams in most countries tend to do actually.

     

    In our current financial predicament I imagine this will form a greater part of our strategy going forward.

     

    I couldn't care less, the SPL quality has gone downhill fast the Goram's, Fergsuon's , etc. were a lot better than the current SPL talent. I have no problem with religion if they add something to the squad but I have a problem with a player that has been linked with the likes of Aberdeen.

  6. Now is not a time to be picky about signing SPL players. Their signing on fees would be miniscule in comparison with players from better leagues and our current management team seemingly prefers working with as many home grown players as possible. I would welcome the signing of Conway but not overly keen on O'Brien mainly because of his roots and Celtic background (might aswell be honest)

     

    At least this means we're hopefully on the lookout for wingers. The McArthur link is concerning as central midfield is literally the last position we need to strengthen

     

    I wouldn't say our midfield is as good as it used to be, since losing Mendes. We have no creative players barring Davis who doesn't actually play in the centre not sure if McArthur is that creative either. I still think the strike force is oversubscribed for 2/1 positions on the pitch. Although that might be reduced in the summer.

  7. I can't see those prices being realistic more like double the prices. Not too sure we need more players like those 2, I would prefer width with wingers and full backs before these 2 players.

     

    They are reasonable SPL players but not sure what they could bring to our squad if we keep most of our players.
