Harsh overall post. quite frankly as long as we win the league I dont care. Singling out Weiss like that isnt fair either. Man City have got something like 40 players battling to get in the squad and arguably their best last season Bellamy cant get in either.

Would certainly complete the defence. Throw in a solid centre midfielder and that 10/11 odds for title No.54 is very tasty!
-
They are dreaming. David James Sol Campbell Jimmy Bullard Craig Bellamy Robbie Keane - manager Martin O neill. But all they got was Charlie Mulgrew and a host of players Ive never heard of. :fish:
-
Assuming Jelavic and Weiss sign on the dotted line: Jelavic - WS been chasing him since the World Cup ended. Looks a find and will probably be a starter. Weiss - Impressive at the WC. Provides much needed creativity and width. Beattie - Poacher but has to win a lot of fans over that he isnt past it. Webster - returning from a successful loan spell where he was one of the best defenders in the SPL for Dundee Utd. v Novo - Was Rangers through and through but never guarenteed a start. Big match player. He's the one Im most gutted about losing but if Weiss and Jelavic perform he wont be overly missed! Boyd - split the fans down the middle. Slow? Lazy? poor ball control? Overweight? Never did it against bigger teams / rarely picked against bigger teams? But a insanely good scoring record! Thomson - Hot and cold, was decent when he took the games by scrub of the next but didnt do it near often enough. Smith - Injury practically ended his career a few years back. Was nothing more of a squad player. Beasley - spent more time on the treatment table than in the team. Wilson - One season wonder yet didnt play in most games. Was mentored by Weir IMO and may struggle at Liverpool. Overall our squad is down in numbers by 3 but we have 3 players who will look to get into the first team on a weekly basis while 3 or 4 of those who left werent guarenteed a game on a weekly basis. Sometimes less is more.

Havent read the article but surely part of the 4 million relates to add ons?? But FINALLY WS has got his man. Adding Weiss to this then we are looking a lot better. 2 really good signings IMO.
-
Yes amen to that along with Whittaker as a wide midfielder. It has ruined Naismith and Lafferty careers so far at Ibrox. Id still keep Lafferty, its going to be a long season and Miller wont play 45 games in 4 competitions. Lafferty could be the good option upfront on his own if we go 4-5-1 in CL. But Weiss and jelavic give us a lot more options. But I still think we are light in the centre of midfield. We could possibly be done with a full back but we do have options of swapping players about with Broadfoot, Whittaker and Bougherra being able to play RB and Papac and Whittaker at LB.
-
I hope its us also. Celtic have signed a few defenders so not sure if it would be them. Yobo and Bougherra together would be very very solid.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1304277/Rangers-join-Celtic-race-sign-Manchester-City-winger-Vladimir-Weiss.html None who played to be offered a deal! Welcome seemed to have a good game but I dont think we are short of strikers but Barazite is a shock, I thought he could have been a good addition for a season.
-
I thought Barazite might have been offered a deal.
-
Agreed, city have went backwards a little bit. Eriksson and Hughes were taking it slowly and building a team aswell as a squad, now they have just went mental and have a mass squad of new individuals. Stephen Ireland was their best player during 08/09 and id say bellamy was their best player last season. Bellamys 2 goals in the 4-3 game with Man U last season spoke for themselves, 1 absolute screamer and 1 terrific solo which made Ferdinand look like a statue. Villa have got a good deal out of this. Pressure is on Mancini to gel them!
-
And out of them Ive only heard of Mulgrew and Ledley. SSN showing Lennon wants Shay Given on loan! Arsenal should nip in there and get him, he is worth 8 pts a season.
-
He could always make up for it by creating and assisting 10 goals or so
-
I disagree, i think Rapid are purely holding off for their Villa game. If they go out then they will want to sell and might even drop the fee by 500k or they risk not getting anything for him. We have persevered this long so I think will wait until its either impossible to sign him or we get the go ahead.
-
I think its safe to say this wont be concluded until after the Rapid v Villa game.
-
Like everyone else Barazite sounds very appealing, rarely does a Arsenal youngster not have potential. Welcome seems like a Darcheville kind of player. Add Jelavic in and we are looking much stronger.
-
Id still rather be going into September with more players than not although Im not sure we need Welcome when we already have Miller, Lafferty, Beattie, Naismith, Velicka, Fleck and possibly Jelavic. Wingers are priority followed by another central player. I really dont want to see Naismith, Lafferty or Whittaker be the planned wingers for the season so lets hope this guy follows in Bougherras footsteps. The arsenal kid could be good a for a year also.
-
That would be a magic place to go. The size of that standing section is massive. Quality stadium in general, certainly one of the most impossing places. The depth of the single tier stand is unreal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Suedtribuene.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:S%C3%BCdtrib%C3%BCne.jpg

Its each to theor own but I cant work out why there would be "so many" quiet voices at games. Ok some go to just watch and arent singers in general which is fine but its seems to be a majority at some home games. It just seems people can only get excited depending on the opponent and competiton as the CL games are a different place. The Copland and the enclosures used to easily have the most singing when I was going to regular games. What we need is a few more sections spread out over the ground so singing isnt just coming from one area like TBO at the moment. Bring back terracing in the enclosures!!! I mainly prefer to stand watching games whether it be at the ground or in a pub. Ive even seen myself standing at home watching matches if Ive got a carryout But then you cant have it for all, a 79 year old geezer needs a seat and doesnt want loud ones jumping infront of him, same for a young kid with their dad.
-
Even if Jelavic signs Id still be putting Miller upfront with him before any of our other strikers. Velicka hasnt kicked a ball for over a year, Naismith still has it all prove, Beattie could be another Marcus Gayle or he could be a hit - thats still be seen and Lafferty still has to be consistant. I cant see why some would be ok with Miller being sold unless we had better replacements yet not mention the likes of Velicka. It may come down to what McCoist wants though. WS seems to be a fan of Miller (rigthly so IMO) but its going to be Allys team next year. As for Jelavic I just wish we would get the guy signed. Ive got a good feeling about him.
-
Blow for Scotland also. He will probably miss the first 2 qualifiers and we needed our strongest midfield available.
-
You dont like Kyle do you!
-
I looked at the starting XI on BBC and wondered who Beattie was. I thought he was some youngster for a minute then it clicked Mind you i am minced after 84 cans of tiger :spl:
-
I bet he cant give top odds like you tho! :spl:
-
Great news! Im a big fan of Miller and McGregor on his day isnt far off the top 5 keepers in Britain. How old is Papac btw?
