  1. I'm hoping our scouting Intel suggests that Igamane was worth the 1.5 outlay. If we can move him on for more money in the future then it will look like a shrewd move. Clement has suggested such in some recent interviews retarding transfers. Obviously this is all dependent on him doing well.
  2. Missed large chunks of the second half (due to plumbing emergency) but from what I saw it seems we have a choice to make. Are we going to go with a flat 3 in the middle (with a 6) or are we going to persist with the 10. Our supposed interest in Jordan/Hannibal/McLean suggests a flat 3? Either way we need to boss that area of the pitch. Our lack of control there is frustrating which is then is further compounded by us going long too many times. It was hard to watch. On a side note...I see some comments about lack of a tangible style etc. It's worth noting that Slott has already got Liverpool playing in a different manner with their fans raving about how they've set up...
  3. Pròpper not in squad. I presume registration not through. Cerny on bench.
  4. Agreed. Everybody seems to be losing it over his delay due to fitness issues. He's had an injury so it's probably down to that as opposed to lack of general fitness. I think this boy will fly under the radar and surprise a few people.
  5. Buzzing for today. 3 points by any means possible. Everyone has written us off so hopefully we can prove a few (thousand) people wrong.
  6. Not sure if it has been mentioned but how's about the new guy from Twente as a new captain? That was his role during his time in the Netherlands and he speaks good English. We wanted fresh ideas and the old failures to be swept aside. I also don't like the idea of a keeper as captain.
  7. Turning up for 5 or 6 games a season isn't good enough. Disappearing in pivotal games that shape the destiny of our season is definitely not good enough. Saying that, Cantwell is not on his own in that category. That's why we need a clear out after all.
  8. My god... we have a squad full of really bang average footballers.
  9. I would fine any player a weeks wage if they hit a long high ball. It's soul destroying watching this. It seems every team in modern football can play in a coherent shape with guile and pace....apart from us. Unless long balls are an actual tactic from our manager...
  10. If we get more than the 1.5 million does that mean we can make a notch in the "Player Trading" positive column?...
  11. This☝️. Hampdump will be like playing in neutral venue IMO and our home crowd "leg up" is all but gone.
  12. Kyiv or Belgrade? I would trust our current squad to beat Kelty or Brechin.
  13. Admire the positivity but I can think of several reasons why we might not be in the new CL set up.
  14. 3 million? I'll be gobsmacked if someone pays that for Hagi.
  15. Can I ask what you are basing this on?
  16. Finding it hard to get remotely excited about the prospect of tackling tricky European Qualifiers with an ill equipped team when we look like we will struggle with domestic football due to an ill equipped team.
  17. Maybe it was the red wine but I'm sure I read that he has a release clause in his contract (300k)? Or was it because he is in the last year if his contract?
  18. I have to admit I wasn't a fan of the strip when released via the promo but its grown on me after seeing pics of it in action. I think seeing the full context (white shorts, black/red socks) makes it look better.
  19. That's awfully uninspiring. White trim on the home strip not red. It's not hard Castore.
  20. IMO England and France have the two best squads in the tournament but have awfully over cautious managers.
  21. Bellingham anonymous in first half for England. Still getting over Rio Ferdinand asking Fabregas if he'd played with a better player than Bellingham. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
  22. Based on what I watched last night, there must be some Serbians out there we can unearth? The way they effortlessly kept the ball last night was great to watch. It put the shambles that is Scotland in an even worse light IMO.
  23. Agreed. Scotland would have hoped for a draw I presume. Switzerland were decent and kept the ball well with good rotation. I struggle to see Scotland causing them any issues to be honest. There is zero pace and guile in the Scotland team. PS. Tierney celebrating a tackle after 4 minutes last night was embarrassing.
  24. As good as Germany were, Scotland were dreadful. Let's face facts. Clarke has got lucky. Take away the one off victory versus Spain, Scotland got out of jail v Norway away and beat some mediocre teams. He's been found out since. Oh and not playing Gilmour was a huge mistake.
  25. That's 4 high earners off the wage bill. Good luck. Thank for the memories. Let's move on.
