Hibs are looking at signing Maolida permanently for only £700k. 9 G+A in 14 starts. A winger who overperforms his xG. I'd nab him as a backup.

This season Jack - a personal favourite of mine - has been the worst. Usually it's Roofe.

I don't see a full stop. Until it appears, GIRUY.

You seemed to stop writing so I finished it for you.

There's definitely something rotten in our whole medical department.

Touche.

Oh, yes; for the CL qualifiers. The he was available for most of the group games but couldn't play. OK–a 450 minute head start...

I was actually surprised. Despite having the perception that Yilmaz hasn't played much, he's only 400 minutes off Barisic despite inexplicably not being involved in the European squad (that's an 800 minute head start for Barisic). (That and I had that gif lined up for half an hour.)

Say his name. G'on.

Nah–he's gone: Bayern Munich have run out of options. They've just been rejected a move for Glasner by Crystal Palace.

I'll help you out: he likes a cheeky doner.

Who's next?

Diomande swung an elbow at one of their Japs. It's a start.

It doesn't need to be explained: it needs to be fixed.

It's been rubbished by 4LHAD.

*Souttar, Goldson, Balogun, Sterling, Lundstram, Lawrence, Cortes, Matondo, Sima, Danilo & Rice all OUT* Me: Also me:

Another thing I noticed: Our average xGA with Yilmaz: 0.67 Our average xGA without Yilmaz: 1.37 Coincidence?

Our xG (blue) and xGA (red) over the course of the season. Clement comes in at the first St Mirren match. You can see a clear upturn in the xG, pretty much over the course - along with some fluctuations. Our xGA has been good, until the last 9 games, when it starts creeping up.

I wouldn't bother interacting with trolls.

I assumed 'better planing', 'better recruitment' was your KPIs, which are not KPIs as they're not measurable. A KPI is a specific target. You've just presented some vague aims, which is fine - no one would disagree with them. My point is that we can't judge the success of 'better recruitment' without a KPI to measure. The club could release general goals but it's pretty meaningless because fans will disagree with other fans, and then the club will judge it to different standards again. A basic fitness KPI would be: cover an average distance of x km per game. Fans can't get this info to judge the success or not - and then they'll be swayed by their feeling of a player. I also don't think the club should be disclosing that kind of stuff; I feel like it's disclosing state secrets!

KPIs have to be measurable. We can't judge 'better recruitment', 'better planning', etc., if we don't have something to measure it by. This highlights the problems in conversing with fans on these issues: we're so emotional - rightly so, it is Rangers - that we reduce complex business and operational practices into vague desires.

I might form my own breakaway transfer thread: The Super Summer Transfer Thread.
