We knew this when we signed him. Even when Warburton was trying to force him out he was going over to Dubai participating in training camps there. It didn't matter because Warburton has spat the dummy out and decided he was to leave so his level of fitness was irrelevant. He should have still made more of an effort to keep in shape before arriving. He knew he'd be late to join us. No excuses. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those players deserted our club when we needed them most. Sure, it's harder to reject Davis because - unlike Naismith and Lafferty - he's still a good player, but we should still firmly tell him to get fucked. The fact of the matter is not one person on this forum can say for sure what actually went on behind closed doors with these players. It’s easy to look at it and say they’re a bunch of wankers for doing this and saying that and they did it because they wanted that to happen. None of us know. I cannot stand these players either because I feel like they fucked us over, but if I use my head I understand footballers are not the brightest and certainly don’t know much about employment law or or financial law therefore they had to rely on information from third parties. Those third parties had an agenda and that was money. So all I’m saying is, there is a possibility these players did not partially or totally understand what was going on at the club, how it would effect them or the club and could have easily been fucked over themselves. Its why I tend not to state my opinion on this matter. Yes I’d like to get angry at them, call them a load of cunts and vent but what does that achieve? Those talking about sticking by your principles, isn’t going by instinct, hearsay, and assumption and judging in a harsh manner having questionable principles in itself? Like I said, I don’t know what went on - in full - behind closed doors. So if the club decides to take one of these players back on their own head be it. It better be to benefit the club.

He knew he'd be late to join us. No excuses. The punditry work was something he was contracted to do before we even approached him. We knew he couldn't take part in pre-season and signed him up anyway. Barton obviously had a go at Warburton after the 5-1 game and was getting forced out for it. Fitness had fuck all to do with his Rangers exit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're arguably 3 players short of giving them a right good run for the title. A Davis, a Jelavic and an Aluko types and 55 could be ours. Davis would be a terrific signing! We need a defender before any of those types of players ffs Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Tierney of their back 4 would be an automatic pick in our defence. Tav's way better than Lustig, and I'd have any of ant two from Alves, Cardosa, Bates, Martin and McCrorie ahead of their central defenders. celtic are strong mid to front but their defence is bang average. A box to box midfielder like Davis, a goalsscorer like Jelavic, and someone like Aluko capable of single handedly destroying a defence would lead us to 55.
