WeirFleckNRothen 1,789 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Fuck John Fleck. Fuck him, Steven Davis, Steven Naismith, Kyle Lafferty, Jamie Ness and the rest. Fuck every single last one of them. Edu and Bocanegra, for example - established international footballers at the time of our administration - departed with pride, dignity and respect.

We have as good if not better than him as it is and that takes some doing considering we are not exactly flying this season  Interested to know the CMs we have that are better than him?

A.T.G 10,771 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 That's the problem with youngsters. We can't give them till they become 25. We can't carry passengers so they need to be almost good enough now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Godfather 70,780 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Regardless of anything why would Fleck come back here? He's now going to be playing at a far higher standard than the dugshite of Scottish football and he'd cost a fair amount coming from an English side playing in the championship.

I just think bringing him back would be a bad move for us and probably a bad move for him.  He is better staying away from Glasgow as to many distractions.  I really hope the boy works his way up and gets to a decent championship team,  am not anti John Fleck, Nothing would make me happier if he came back and turned it on for us and we won the league but I think we need better but what we need and what we get just now are two different things. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simplythebest 11,453 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Pain in the arse of a league no doubt, Newcastle spent a fortune compared to the rest and while they look certain to go back up automatically they've had some dodgy runs of results along the way and are battling it out with Brighton for the top spot Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Godfather 70,780 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I think to be a real success you need a good solid team of talented and experienced British players in the Championship. It's a total dog fight and games coming thick and fast. Your average foreign technical player isn't going to thrive in that kind of environment bar the obvious exceptions.  Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even now, he's no regrets as he says he was 'just a boy fae Castlemilk' - rotten attitude, and as a result never fulfilled half his enormous potential. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
