bennyali 248 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 “I’ve got tasks to do within the course but I also have a wandering eye on what’s going on with certain individuals.” From what he is saying, sounds like he is looking at players in relation to the course but is looking to snag a future superstar too. I really need to head back to bed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zalalem was touted in some quarters as the next Pirlo ffs, he was neat and tidy but no more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperLeeMcCulloch 2,328 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Fuck me, the guys finishing his badges and watching a few games while hes there potentially picking up a decent prospect. If he sat about after his course instead of doing what hes doing the same people would still be moaning. CoatbridgeBear 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends what you’re signing them for. Long term its fine. Short term we need proven quality. We can do both at the same time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So think it's just the obligatory line of yeah there might be a hidden gem there but he's there for his pro licence not a scouting mission.

BlueThunder 8,452 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 So..... He shouldn’t be our manager as he doesn’t have the qualifications already. We shouldn’t be looking at younger players with potential. He should be sat in a room alone waiting for everyone to arrive in a few weeks.

Just a tad I’d say. More concerned what the players are up to this morning. Some will be tuned in & following a strict professional routine to maximise their chances & performances for the season ahead, yet some I’m in no doubt will be giving it their standard half arsed version. Hopefully they’ll be identified & dealt with accordingly on the 15th. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackrfc95 4,255 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 He's already been to Ibrox and Auchenhowie and with the players not being there it would be a bit of a waste of time for him to be there yesterday IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

esquire8 42,315 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 If he manages to notice 4-5 players out there and end up signing one that does a job for us all whilst getting his Pro Licence then things are look good already.

CoopsLaud 4,184 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Dont give a fuck where he is on his first day he has already signed the contract. Just relieved he wasnt so fucking stupid to use 'outwith'' in that statement. No aloud to say that if you are english these days ye know!
