They have spent but they haven't spent £4m on a player since Broon iirc. They are ever increasing their squad but their wage budget is probably £100k-£150k a week larger than ours. They also have the sale of McFanny which saves them. For me the football post November international break has been very poor from us. Also European results still irk me our opponents got a grand total of 2 points in the Europa league from 36 points. I would have gone through the rest of your post but too lazy

Its more than you think.

If I was manager I would happily get rid of a lot of players but you can't do it in January. I would shift max 3 players and probably try to take on 2 or 3 max. The summer is best to get everything done. I would shift. Healy, Kerkar and one of three from Ortiz, McCulloch or Broadfoot. Harsh on the last 2 but yeah don't think they have much to offer McCulloch legs are gone and Broadfoot is probably not my type of player to have in a team.

I dislike Steve Kean and he is showing real ineptness. His interviews are pretty poor a deflection on his own managerial skills and his sides inability to defend saying we should have done that, we should have had this, we should have scored there etc. However tonight was too far from the fans, but the owners really need to look at themselves why did they give him a new contract with better terms? Costing themselves money, idiots Its probably to do with him going to India every mid week, nobody would be silly enough to do that either especially mid season. He has won 2 matches this season, drawn 4 and lost 11. His whole tenure is 7 or 8 wins in 38 games, Blackburn aren't a great side but they are a usual mid table side.

As I said earlier in the thread he was scoring goals in a less creative Kilmarnock team. He also did alright at Nottingham Forest, their fans seem to want him as well.

You could argue why the FA haven't started proceedings on Terry.

Interesting that is his second 7 game + ban in a year iirc.

He did fine at Forest as he wasn't in and out of the team which he was at Boro although they were pretty bad last season.

Plus the fact he was scoring a barrel load for Kilmarnock who were pretty average back then and I would say they were less creative than they are now.

I was going to put quotation marks in but yeah.

We need a complete forward and a poacher but Jelavic is the complete forward, so that leaves.... Even if we go for Boyd he will need to get fit and won't be near the team for a few weeks.

Boyd for me.

We need a proven scorer and we lack a striker and he would cost nothing, there is always arguments about Boyd but he does it against the diddies and we play them the most.

He would be decent to lump the ball up to and Jelavic can take over from there....

No, moving abroad, cellic didn't have to pay for ledley but if ledley moved to another english team the english team would have had to pay.

I would like us to line up like this: :dg: :sa::sd::kh::gw: :tkb: :nj: or :sw::dg::sp: :sa::sd::mm::gw: :nj::kl: The first one is probably the one I would like to see more.

Missing a vital player in Naismith?

Not much lucky if its £1m

I would rather have Templeton as Driver is too injury prone.

Got to agree should have probably called it a day last season. I would like him to get a send off not to disappear out the back door.

Nervy 2-1 (Jelavic and Wylde) ICT seem to do well against us.

Aren't UEFA going to look into the banner?

Also the compensation figure will be low if he joins us.

Tbh he isn't well liked down Dundee Utd's way, Houston has had a go at his agent. Their preference would for him to go to WBA, as they will pay cash now, however its a catch 22 situation if he joins them at the end of the season then they owe Dundee Utd nothing. If he has been treated like shit then he might he might decide to go elsewhere.. Also they might freeze him out and hinder his progress if he joins us they wouldn't if he went to Celitc He is a free, well a tribunal will settle if he agrees a pre contract or if say we want him now we sort out a fee. Also add to the fact we have 100 hundred midfielders, shame Shinnie never made it but yeah I will not say....

Everton have no chance they are skint.
