Mcgregor moving wouldnt surprise me as we would get a decent fee plus its been speculation all summer. However Id be very surprised to see Miller leave. I hope they both stay though, both are key players.
-
RE the Thomson sale, its a surprising one that I didnt think would happen. I know quite a few on here rated him and like him but he didnt over impress me but I still thought he would improve. Its just concerning how low our numbers are, if Edu, Davis or McCulloch pick up a knock or are suspended then we have nobody! Im hoping Bougherra doesnt move on and I could see a place for him in the midfield if need be. Weir, Webster and possibly Wilson are fine at the back so Bougherra in midfield is an option, he is capable of driving runs.
-
This is the sort of move which actually wouldnt surprise me, the only thing that doesnt add up would be the wages. Perhaps Bullard didnt fancy Celtic at all but saw the class of Ibrox and Murray Park and it took to his liking. Bullard can be a decent player, he has had a couple of terrible injuries rather then being injury prone - similar to Thomson. He gets about the park and can score some crackers.
-
Why didnt we keep Novo??!!! Small increase in wages yet would still have been lower than what we offered Boyd and Eagles yet a good all round player who would always give 110%. Baffling!
-
Hopefully out the starting line up!
-
Considering the amount of quality coaches, managers, assistants and Ex pro's we have this is a pure lack of ambition.
-
I thought Fleck look very promising but then got a ridiculous amount of hype placed on him then his next game was at parkhead and WS played him on the wing where he was lost. It could have set the guy back a season! He is 18 or 19 now so age is no issue, this season is big for Fleck to make an impact but he needs to play in his strongest position.
-
I saw the headline and assumed Eric Black and thought that would have been a good scoop but the national team relies on someone who got airdrie relegated!! Im concerned about the upcoming Euro qualifiers before a ball has been kicked.
-
But isnt the amount the important thing? For EG, I wonder how much Eagles has been offered, its certainly going to be a lot more than Novo was offered yet Id have rather kept Nacho as at least we know what we had in the wee man.
-
Agree with this, id have Edu in the the team next to Davis ahead of Thomson. The most corcerning thing for me is that our squad number is dropping lower and lower with no better or even equivalent replacement coming in. It would seem WS's plans are to have Davis, Edu, McCulloch and Fleck as his central options - thats not bad but low in numbers. Eagles wouldnt be a bad shout and to be honest we are desperate for width.

Glad im not alone in these thoughts, was listening to talksport earlier and they kept on harping on about how dirty the dutch were. The Spanish were giving as good as they got and as metlika says they got a few 50/50s their way.

BTW a pub quiz question for a few years time: Name the only unbeated sinde at the 2010 World Cup - New Zealand

Did nobody watch the game? Disappointed in the end. Howard Webb got 3 decisions wrong all a few mins before the goal: 1) Holland should have had a corner after their free kick clearly hit the spanish wall yet he gave a goal kick. 2) The Hamburg winger was taken out the game outside the Spanish box mins before the goal and he played on. 3) Snejider was fouled in the move that led to the goal. The pundits were saying Holland were poor for playing bad tactics but before the game they all said if they want to win they have to stop Spain playing - thats what the tried! Spain are the best team in the World - no doubt about that but they werent the best to watch. Germany were a joy on the eye against England and Argentina.

Id be cheering him every time he got the ball if he signed for them.

Pies mate...not fruit

Me too...10/1

Probably relevant in Gers talk....who has the finest pies in the SPL??? Pittodrie pies are like rock...im sure they use last weeks pies for us...yet if u see a loser from the same school he gives u a decent pie. Ibrox has too hot pies. i remember giving Frankies mate a ticket for the Porto game a few years ago and he bought a curry pie at half time yet it was 70 mins before he could touch the thing......yet Soti (Kyriakoz) scored and his pie dripped down his hands and he shouted FUCKIN HELL THATS HOT.....I pissed myself for days..... I also remember Frankies story about his mate getting his pie smacked into his cheeks from big John Clarks shot in Dundee...John Clark had a shot like Albertz...ouch.....

Is Casillas making a noise or is he just cold????? -
Holland 5-4 Spain

The World cup thread has been good, rarely does a sticky thread work for a while. But the final might deserve a thread of its own. Holland havent been that easy on the eye considering the luxury players they have yet have still been strong and decent and remain the only 100% in the tournament thus far. Spain are similar, they have world class players everywhere and have looked more like a classic german or italian side who can be strong without being brilliant. They held the best attacking team in the tournament (Germany) very well and took their chance. I think Holland are stronger than Germany and Spain will find that out on Sunday. We are due a good game after the disappointing semi's but both team will be cagey and extra time is surely likely. Im tipping the Dutch though, after coming behind against Brazil it gave them some belief.

I have no problem with most of these if they leave as long as we get equal replacements! Kenny Miller - Im a big fan of Kenny and I hope he will stay, Id say its a banker he will. Kevin Thomson - Never overly impressed me but I think he will improve. Would accept 4 million. Danny Wilson - seemed to make his bed. I bet he would struggle without mentor Weir next to him. He has to be consistant to be considered quality. Andy Webster - hasnt even kicked a ball for Rangers but had a good (not outstanding) season for Dundee Utd. If fit could be a good player for us. Neil Alexander - Good keeper / No.2. But sign McGregor up on a long term deal and we could get another back up keeper. Lee McCulloch - Would anyone lose sleep if we sold Lee? Sasa Papac - Bit of an unsung hero, Id like to keep him. Andrius Velicka - Crickey - He has made Webster look like he needs a testimonial! As i said, its not about who leaves though, its about keeping numbers in the squad and getting equal or better replacements. But could we get better players than these in todays inflated market and with our lack of money?? Also - it might be another paper spinner.

Welcome to the forums! Nice post. You dont have a Dad called Calscot by any chance to you? -
I'll be watching the Championships Forest v Watford...far more appealin Nah, but the SPL champs should be first up on TV IMO. This TV deal is a nonsense that OF homes games are practically never on.

I actually agree with the last part that Lennon wont be another Mowbray. Mowbray got it all wrong but Lennon seems to have installed belief back into them which always improves a team. Its not nice to say but Lennon wont allow anyone to hide for them. I still think we have a better starting XI on paper. Id have Mcgregor over Boruc anyday, and our centre halfs by a mile (assuming Bougherra stays). Davis is the best midfielder in the league and Miller's work rate upfront is better than any of their strikers. So we are still the team to beat IMO.
