The Blue Ranger

Lets be honest here, Allen and Gerrard are doing a stellar job recruitment wise. We will reap the benefits of this when 55 comes and it will be so sweet to see the mhanky mob crumble under the pressure we will put on them in the coming months. I expect to see Goldson, Katic and Barasic in our starting 11 for years to come until EPL clubs come knocking.. which they no doubt will if they continue to develop. The jury is out on Grezda, if we have paid as much for him as reported then I will keep my fingers crossed he comes good but if we're trying to take Kent on a permanent deal then it may result in perhaps Middleton going out on loan which may not be a bad thing. The boy needs game time under a good man management coach. We have plenty of dig in the middle now, Jack, Arfield, Rossiter (when fit) and McCrorie. Davis will bring that missing bit of guile and sly passes to cut open defenses and when Dorrans finally returns this will give the gaffer a major headache when it comes to selections. I still think we need another CB, who is ours, and not on loan. And now with the additions of Jones and Kamara we are looking in a much better position than the start of the season. Even saying that, we have "four quality forwards" to work with. Morelos, Defoe, Lafferty and Hardie (who is one I had always hoped would make the grade. The futures bright, the futures Red, White and Blue. 55 is coming home and when it does it'll be the culmination of all of our heartache and disappointment over the last 7 years.

Some left peg. We've been seriously lacking in good deliveries from open play and set pieces and this guy is sure to deliver from both.

Flanagan has looked very dependable, even when being played at left back.

Class like that never fades. Check Zidane in the France 98 v FIFA selection. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwZKymcHcHQ

Absolute scenes if we're awarded a penalty against the Tims and up steps McGregor and smashes it in top bin.

Mexico is in North America though?

Touch of class.

I had always hoped Ryan would break into the first team, nothing like seeing one of our own scoring goals for the team they love but unfortunately as it hasn't really happened for him by now I doubt it ever will. All he really lacks is the physical presence, the boy is a natural goalscorer for sure, and he will no doubt go on to make a successful career for himself.

I signed a Turkish striker Tevfik Kose back in FM08 for around 100k iirc, come January time he had banged in around 30 goals in all competitions and Besiktas put in a bif of around £7.5m which the board accepted without my say. I always went for Charles Andre Doudin, fairly cheap and was guaranteed 20+ goals and a healthy profit when it came to selling him on.

This thread

I've only visited FF once. Reading through some threads I got the impression everyone is an absolute whopper and left without ever signing up. Not for me.

I've always been critical of Tav, his defending in particular, but he's obviously a lot more comfortable with a hard grafting player like Candeias in front of him than a fucking rattler like O'Halloran.

Miller offered the square root of fuck all the whole game. Start anyone but him up with Morelos. Hopefully the big man will kick on now after bagging his first.

So the system is allowing crosses to come into the box? I think it's more likely to do with both Wallace and Tavernier being pish defenders.

I hope we're tapping him up for the best youths in his system and would love to see him back at the club in some sort of coaching capacity.

I used to work in the Sky call center at Ibrox and on lunch break one day a colleague and I decided we'd go buy ourselves a couple of ties from the Megastore as it was a shirt and tie effort. We both strolled in wearing this exact tie and within minutes we were frog marched out and told to go home and get changed! Needless to say neither of us lasted long in that job.

I noticed that too, came off as a bit arrogant but I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt here as he alluded to MW playing him out of position affecting his performances.

Brilliant

I can't believe Waghorn stayed on the pitch as long as he did. Offered next to nothing all game and had he been hooked for Morelos earlier I think the wee Colombian may have shown us a bit more.

Definitely getting this! ...for the wean obviously..

I can't see anything difinitive anywhere, but there are rumours he will be unveiled as a Liverpool player when the window opens for a reported £8m. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/andrew-robertson/geruechte/spieler/234803 Which is a shame because I'd love to see that horrible little club fold.

What are the specs? Most low end rigs should handle FM smoothly with no issues.

Anyone got any Brexit experiences yet? In my current game (Rangers, season 20/21) the UK has left the EU and Gibraltar held an Independence referendum and left the UK. Any non-UK player is now considered foreign and work-permit rules apply the same way non-EU players work permits worked prior to Brexit (needing to have played 75% of internationals in a season for a top 50 ranking country). It has definitely encouraged me to develop home grown talent though it is becoming difficult to keep them happy when EPL teams come in for them since they're now having difficulties also signing non-UK players.

I used to get this horrible feeling of dread in my stomach whenever I'd watch us when McCoist was in charge. It's starting to creep back in.

I bumped into Charlie Adam on Sauchiehall Street and said hello in passing but that's about it
