Devil's advocaat

Interesting, hopefully a highway of North African talent to follow!.

I'm no hater of Dessers, his stats speak for themselves, If we'd had a window into his numbers before we signed him, we'd have been happy to go on and sign him for sure. However, his link up play isn't good enough for me, and he needs to use his size and strength a bit more (to be fair he's improved on that a little recently). If he can improve those facets of his game, then good on him. A bit of snarl against the rheptiles wouldn't go amiss.

Absolutely, he's brilliant to watch. Another huge asset he has is that he doesn't seem to get wound up or involved in any shite, just plays his game and gets on with it.

As an aside, loved Diomandes celebration today, pure unbridled joy, mixed with get it up ye.

That statement was aired on radio after the game, so not made up.

Superb result, I'll be honest in saying I thought we'd struggle today. Big game midweek, no shortage of injuries, a team that are very robust and get in your face. Well done Rangers, that's a big result.

Aye, I think they're getting a better*, younger player as a straight swap, so not a bad deal. *If he manages to get back to player he was. Anyway, that's enough talk of the pot lickers.

He's 30, and tbh has lost his way a little, teams have sussed him out from the days of him tearing it up in his first season. Teams also need to show income in terms of FFP or whatever they call it now, it's a good time to sell him from their point of view. We can only hope Brenda signs another Ida.

Steaua, Knee injury.... RUN AWAY!

One to tickle your undercarriage, Rousseau....

I'd rather have Howerd than Lampard.

I'd love to see him doing more of what he did at his first goal yesterday, using his size and strength to get an acre of space to finish, but he rarely does this. I look forward to both him and Danilo leaving, and being replaced with younger, hungrier versions.

He's clearly not gash, he's a modern day Bo Andersen, our Darwin Nunez if you like, a loveable, hard working talented player, everyone wants him to do well, really wants it, but.... He's just not what we need.

Aye, I was sure he had another year to go.

Guaranteed indigestion.

I'm amazed Liverpool allowed a lad with his injury issues go and play on that excuse for a pitch.

Sheep are fragile, go at them early on, we'll pump them.

And championship journeymen...

Agree re Propper and Balogun, I wouldn't be surprised if we sign Kasanwijro, and Souttar will get a contract extension (and the captaincy).

Souttar isn't constantly injured.

Aye, fuckin Clark Kent.

Spot on.

Weir was still playing football, Evans has ended up playing because he asked Man U to use their training facilities, as he was without a team after a fairly anonymous spell in the championship - Ended up getting a short term contract due to injuries at CB and Man U being shite. I'm not dead against it, as others have said, a Balogun style calm head would be a good thing, but I'm not sure another slow centre half is the answer.

I'd rather exhume Windsor Davies and play him at CB than have Ben back.

Apart from drawing with the Perth strugglers last game....
