Do you not think they would cut it against Inter Milan in the CL???

They must have got those dummies from our treatment room, all recovering from broken legs! What is that all about! That stripe on the shorts is 'different'. Is this our last season with umbro and carling???

Agreed, I thought he should have been with us for at least another 2 seasons. Cracking player! Shame, this is terrible for him.

More like a surprise divorce! I think the club see's this 3 plus Bougherra as the ones who will being in decent transfer fee's, along with Davis and Thomson but the latter 3 are wanted by WS more IMO. Im undecided about McGregor. In 07/08 he was playing out of his skin, then last season he got a bit of that form back. This is a big season for him and it will be interesting to see if he starts as No.1 or Alexander does. McGregor is another who can go off the rails and can be tricky with an attitude.

We have to remember the only clubs who have been linked with Boyd is Birmingham and Cardiff as far i know. Nobody else has looked at him, so they either: 1) dont rate him 2) are waiting until next year to see if he will go on the free 3) understand that he isnt available You'd think a few more clubs would be making enquiries that would have leaked out if they wanted a goalscorer. In saying that, the above doesnt just go for Boyd, it goes for all our players who are available. Ferguson has only been linked with Birmingham and West Brom and Adam with Blackpool. Other than that nobody else has been linked with anyone (or am i missing 1 or 2?).

He isnt going to look out of place in Glasgow then is he

8 million for trezeguet when we have just stated all our players have a price! Nothing would surprise me in football but i slightly cant see us signing him with his wage demands! Id rather take back hutton TBH seen as Trezeguet is 31.

Yip you have a point if BF leaves and the other 2 not coming back to full fitness but id rather see Davis get a shot in the centre first. I can see thomson coming back strong. But Murphy would be a fine addition. agree RE Aaron, i really hope we at least get to see what he can do. if he cant cut it then fair enough. And agree RE WS discipline but then again so does Moyes have the same ways of comanding respect.

3-0 win for Motherwell in the 2nd leg. good comeback

Pennent joined Real Zaragoza yesterday. He was one id have enquired about. I wouldnt touch Julian Faubert. He was absolute garbage for West Ham. How he managed to get a move to Real Madrid was astounding! Van der Meyde was a good player for Inter but totally went off the rails for Everton. Far too big a risk for me. Danny Murphy is a fine player and professional and would do a good job for most teams. But we dont need a central midfielder at the moment unless its an attacking one with a good goalscorer record.

Tomas Rosicky is out of contract at Arsenal!!! Thats surprising. He has had a nightmare with injuries in the last year but was playing brilliant along side Fabregas, Flamini, Hleb and Walcott before he got crocked. If he gets fit again then Arsenal could take some stopping next season. I see Jermaine Pennant is a free agent! Id take him at gers for the right wing if we could afford his wages (which is unlikely) How good a job would being a scout be! You get all this info then get to go watch them play and asses them!

Couldnt agree more :fish: But as ive said before his overall game improved in the last few months of the season and it will be all about consistancy from Boyd now to play like that almost every week. If he is entering the last year in his contract i cant see us getting a bid of 3 million for him anyway, clubs would rather wait to see if he pens a deal or can leave on the cheap.

Totally agree with that. He isnt good enough and would be a squad player at best. But I dont think he is the worst player in the squad, id play him ahead of Lee McCulloch.

I thought he left Derby. he looks a decent player and I wouldnt mind WS going in for him.

But i wonder when he actually will get an injury! Anyone want a wee wager??/ I say within his first 4 competitive games!

Perfect! i was planning on going back to Japan in november, but thats just been brought forward by a month!!!

Not only that, its 4-6 weeks before they will be made available!! Did they forget to make this batch or something?!!!

Will the club make a public response to this nonsense?

A players remaining contract length has to be taken into consideration when selling. Does anyone know how long Adam had left on his last contract?

I think 90MOM was looking for comments rather than a spell check But yeah, good piece that I dont disagree with. I just wonder where our width is going to come from on both sides next season. Full backs are full backs and we shouldnt rely on them getting forward in the attacks everytime. Hutton was a different class and was our best attacker before going to Spurs but Whittaker and Papac dont have that ability. But once again its the midfield wide areas concerning me. Steven Davis will likely be first choice RM from the off next season but he is better as an inside right or centre midfielder. Id rather we signed a natural winger if possible. It all depends on what formation WS plays though. If its a 4-4-2 then we need a wide player. but if we go with 4-3-3 that Frankie's thread last week suggested, then we currently have the personnel to play that. 4-3-3 takes 3 central midfielders (we have Davis, thomson, Mendes and Edu to start with) and 3 forwards and its the forwards who provide a bit of width - Lafferty, Miller and Novo are all mobile enough to do that.

Its scary to think a player cant go into a chemist and buy cough mixture! What if you wake up around 1am with a stinking cough, cold or flu and you need to take to help you sleep!! If this is the truth and he did only buy for a cough then its shocking if he gets a ban even if he does play for Sheff Utd! Is that because there is something in the product that an athelete (not that Kenny is an athelete) shouldnt take? or was that due to overdose?

That shirt has the 3 things i said to improve the current one - round neck, straight logo and the words umbro under their logo! That shirt 87-90 was a cracker! It was the first top i bought plus we had some class players who went on wear it!

Id be gutted if Novo is sold. He is our best impact player (whether he starts or is a sub) and gives 200% every time he takes to the field. He is effective on the right and upfront. He should start every game. He is a big game player aswell in the OF and Euro matches. Personally i wouldnt grudge the wee man a crack at the premier league and a good last pay day but id im hoping he stays with us for another 2 seasons.

Yip this is globalisation mate, on all walks of life! Dont get me wrong id love to see us playing the big boys every week but id rather see it in Euro comps only - thats what the CL is for. What our game needs in Scotland is for someone with a brain to get into the SPL and SFA and revamp the league system. What is Perez on about! How much more help does he want from UEFA?. They already allow the top 4 from England, Spain and Italy entry to the CL as it is, then once the tournament starts they get favoured by seedings. If he wants to be playing the best all throughout the tournament then scrap the seedings rule and they could play someone like AC Milan in the first round. But then he wouldnt be happy as they would go out. What happens when they play Man u, Barca, Inter etc weekly and they lose. What changes will he want then! You should make yourself a success rather than be given it! As the saying goes, you dont fix what isnt broken. Football is almost the perfect game, all it needs is a few minor changes like goal line technology for those decisions only.

As Robert says I dont think we could have got much more, Id have thought 750k would have been about it, but then again Hibs just sold Fletcher for 3 million. Adam wouldnt have ever been more than a squad player. Its one of those sales that we wont notice on par with burke, S Thompson, Hughes, Malcolm etc.
