Bedoya has played 20 mins for us and Mckay hasnt kicked a ball so until I have seen them in a blue jersey I will hold putting my team up, but it does look promising and that looks near enough the team I'd be hoping to write down. Although Wylde and Ness might sneak into my XI so Id be looking at a 4-5-1 / 4-3-3. If Bedoya and McKay live up to the promise it would be Lafferty making way as he isnt near consistant enough and only comes good in the last 7 games of a season. Id have Broadfoot in at RB ahead of Whittaker.

McKay arrives in Scotland and is available for Utd match
Gribz replied to Frankie's topic in Rangers Chat
I agree seeing Naismith, Bedoya, Davis and McKay looks promising, plus with Wylde in there also it gives a good option. But we're forgetting Ness, I feel he has a big part to play if he progresses from last season. -
Been dry for about 2 weeks.....perhaps I actually need a drink

Its so quick the page I want comes up before i even click it Nice Job (with a US accent). :cheers:
-
Bizarre, i posted 2nd on this thread and its disappeared. Similar thoughts though, was a cracking player at Fulham but edging towards the end of his career and wouldnt want it to end up like Ljungberg at Celtic. Need to see what Bedoya and the others are like first.
-
Good news for me especially with Hutton, I think he should be playing much more. Its ok saying sitting on the isnt doing him good but for me he would be playing well ahead of McCulloch and Edu. And with Ness injury prone, Mckay not in the team yet, Hutton will come in handy during the busy winter periods. For Fleck going out in loan would have done him good as he has went backwards in the last 2-3 seasons, so regular football to get his confidence back would have been good.

Scotland v Lithuania, Euro 2012 Group I qualifier
Gribz replied to ian1964's topic in General Football Chat
Fletcher far too casual for the penalty. He's an over rated player anyway, as good as Alex Ferguson is Ive never seen what he see's in Fletcher. He would fit into a team like Sunderland. It was pretty dire to watch. Agree with earlier poster going to Liechtenstein isnt a easy trip at all. Even if we win that game Spain could play their 2nd team and if they perform we wont get a touch of the ball in the final 3rd. Walter Smith or Strachan is they way forward to qualify for Brazil 2014, especially considering the kind group we have been drawn into. -
Scotland v Lithuania, Euro 2012 Group I qualifier
Gribz replied to ian1964's topic in General Football Chat
I think we will sneak a win by 1 goal. However I think Levein will be kept in the job regardless, the SFA will use the excuse 'its time for stability rather than chopping and changing' and they will keep him on which is a depressing thought. I like Zappa'a enthusism, 6 pts from Lithuania and Leichtenstein is achievable (just) and then it comes down to Spain doing us a favour against the Czechs plus us hoping to get something in Spain. Cant see it myself though. -
I thought the clip would be a complemation of Mols. That game doesnt remind me of his injury, but more of a 'what if'. I remember it for the night we should have beaten Munich. Even when Mols went off we should have scored, JJ missed that sitter in the 2nd half.
-
What a team that was. We were well on top before Mols went off and would have won IMO. Just watching the first minute, look at how we kept the ball and passed it around....different league compared to now.
-
Used to enjoy watching the masters. About time we put a real team out, I always wondered why we played likes of Nicky Walker in goal when Goram was available. What was the squad? Any clips going around?
-
Its all about opinions but I thought Adam was lucky to stay on the park in the first half. At first glance I thought Baros went down to easy but the replay showed Adams studs go right into his shin...silly tackle. He also had a few other late ones. What was Dalglish talking about the other day saying 'we're back'? As Craig mentioned the Czech goalkeeper should be embarrassed, id be checking his account to see if he had a bet on Miller getting the first goal. Was never a fan of the decision to have Levein in charge in the first place, I thought it showed a complete lack of ambition. he was maybe a bit unlucky last night night with 2 penalty decisions but he still isnt the long term manager IMO. Agree with Pete RE Fifa though, id say they were corrupt to the core. Also agree with Dado, in the first half especially the Czech's were far more comfortable on the ball and the difference in passing and moving was obvious.
-
Nobody is saying he deserves a pat on the back, what I am saying is he got his finger out trying to get back in the team.
-
Dariouz Adamczk might get into my team in place of Prodan. Gavin Rae in midfield also. Stephane Guivarch was another failure after an amazing debut but still isnt as bad as strikers listed. If we have a worst XI, we must also be able to get an unlucky injury jinxed XI. Webster doesnt get in because he is a fraud! Charbonnier Stephen Wright Prodan McLaren S Smith Thern Durrant Gow Mols Rozental Negri
-
Who? Also, Stensaas wasnt too bad a LB IIRC.
-
Because players in the past have just sat back and would have pulled out of such games, yet he was trying his upmost to get back into the first team but giving 100% in such games....that game was just an example of him at the time putting in the effort rather than slacking which plenty players have done in the past. FFS barry Ferguson refused to train in the afternoons under PLG.
-
I thought about this not long ago and just done this team off the top of my head so I may be back with another XI later. Letizi Bollan Konterman (bar one screamer) Prodan - although unlucky with injury but never kicked a ball. Mo Ross Maniero Mlandanovic Rothen Capucho Gayle Jeffers
-
Gav's mate has a differing opinion to mine. He is also a Bear who has been working a bit between here and australia and watching a lot of the Aussie league. He was delighted when we signed McKay and says he is Brisbane's best player and will be a cracking signing for Gers.
-
A player with loads of talent, should have got back in the team after his spell out especially when he showed the right attitude by going up to Forfar away on a Tuesday night. Considering half the duds we have seen Buffel would have been a wonderful player to have. A bit like Ortiz and others he found it tricky to adapt to the 'punk and kick high ball SPL'

Arsenal sign midfielders Mikel Arteta and Yossi Benayoun
Gribz replied to ian1964's topic in General Football Chat
Craig, Santos is a left back so they only got 1 centre half in. They got Park Chu in upfront who is highly rated so thats him and Gervinho. They also paid highly for the Costa Rican striker but sent him out on loan which I was surprised about as he had a good couple of games in the Copa America. I still feel they needed another centre half as Vermaelen is injury prone. So I hope they go back in for Cahill in January plus another creative midfielder like Hazard as Benayoun is only on loan. -
I'll have some of what Kenny is smoking.
-
I agree he shouldnt be sitting on the bench but he should have been playing far more in the first place. His chances were being diminished due to poor management selections. Edu was absolutely rank last season and McCulloch has been injured. If the new signings dont play well and Edu and McCulloch continue with last years form then there is no reason he shouldnt be playing. Same goes for Ness.
-
Would be quite happy if this is true especially with Hutton. I wouldnt let him out in the first place after showing a lot of promise. Its a shame for the lad that he seems himself dropping down the pecking order for new players who havent played yet plus the 2 dumplings (Edu and McCulloch just in case anyone was wondering )
-
Thats worth a new thread for discussion.
-
Would be disappointed to see Hutton go out on loan. Id rather he was in the team than Edu and McCulloch.
