They're gambling on making the CL group stage again. In fact it's probably a necessity like never before. However, the £9m is most likely spread in instalments over 3 years or so and the debt can be cleared at any time by selling him on..

Where does this £50k per week come from? Has Skrtel been offered £50 a week by Gerrard? As for Morelos, his age is irrelevant if he turns in the sort of performances we saw in the second half of last season when he couldn't hit a barn door. There's a presumption that Morelos will recapture his early form, I'm not so sure. There's another presumption that his performances will improve simply because he gets older and that seems hopeful at best. I might be in a minority of one but that's never bothered me and I was very disappointed we turned down good offers for him in January - I think we can do better.

Thankfully, we have Steven Gerrard to make those decisions.

I'll go against the tide here and say I WOULD do a deal that sees Skrtel plus money swap places with Morelos. There will be injuries and suspensions during the season and we must have better cover in defence. I think we might have seen the best of Morelos and while keeping him might work out great, I think it's more of a gamble than bringing Skrtel into our defence.

There must be some part of this contrived non-story that doesn't make me yawn but I haven't found it yet.

Never heard of him. Is he a footballer?

Who’s Kevin Thomson again?

And long overdue too.

The BBC just looks stupid. They think we give a shit but those days are long gone.

I'm hoping there are photos of Rod Petrie in bed with Neil Doncaster. That should get things moving again.

Is Dave King just allowing them to sweat for a while?

This has got to be a good thing if it raises money for the club ... money for nothing really.

They probably couldn't afford the compensation required to lever Brenda out of the piggery.

I took my inspiration from you of course ... but then refined, polished and generally improve the entire thing.

It's not a transfer issue but does anyone know when we can expect Ryan Jack to be available for selection?

Does anyone know who will actually hear the appeal?

If this is true then it's been a good start to the transfer season. Hopefully it won't be too long before we see a few going out.

What we're seeing is a concerted effort not to have to sack someone, in the hope that voluntary resignations will stop the full facts ever being uncovered.

Wrong topic - sorry

Surprised to see that Vincent Lunny is still involved on the SFA licensing committee.

The SFA appoints its new Compliance Officer. Send the white smoke up the lum.

Oh ... OK ...

I think we can be sure the next one will be well scrutinised

Where does the SNP come into this? Baffled.
