Ffs he had a bad start like the team at the start of the season , Laudrup always oozed class and one thing he has got that Hagi is badly lacking is pace Maybe a couple of seasons in our league would toughen him up and make him a better player , but at £4.5m it's a hell of a gamble as that sort of money opens you up to better players. But as for Laudrup ? He's my favorute player and probably the best player I have ever seen in Scotland , by the second old firm game he had the Rangers fans bowing shouting We're not worthy like a scene out the life of Brian as he showed celtic and continues to show celtic he could beat them for fun You missed the bit where I said 'physique'... I was commenting on the way we hear that quote a lot regarding players before coming to our hammer thrower league. I wasn't commenting actually on Laudrup or his class... those facts are beyond reproach. We can agree on that; he was my favourite player too. It was an example. Also, opens you up to better players? For £4.5m? That's a stretch! Kamara is a good example of course but he blows hot and cold too. We take risks with players regardless of the price. For me with Hagi there is the potential that we can see in him, and Hagi clearly shows attributes of being a professional and a winner. Whether that amounts to anything is a different story, but I'd raise the bet with his card in my hand. Chasing a crucial European tie against a strong Braga team at 2-0 down to then win it for us takes some balls, and some determination that we really need in the team. The whole lot of them drop their game against the local bus parking dross; Europe is clearly more enticing for them. Either way, I'd take the punt! We need a strong determined character with a slightly cocky attitude to come in, grow with the team and take control eventually. It might not be him, but it'll come again one day...

Copland bear 7,966 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Kamara only cost £50k. Braga pumped us at Ibrox , we got a get out of jail free card that night. , Yes Hagi's first goal,was a cracker but his second was a deflected free kick, I have seen nothing or very little from him since to justify a £4.5m fee as we have been pish rotten as a team really since the win at the piggery , we have failed to win game after game and threw away daft league points against all the lower teams in the league and got fucked out the Scottish cup also by the team bottom of the league who beat us a few weeks earlier also m We need a bit more dig in midfield , someone who can put himself about, a bit of dig . We have been needing it for years but again someone like that woukd not come cheap unless they were young And Laudrup was exceptional. 5-1 Scottish cups final against Hearts was one of his finest displays in a blue jersey.

For that sort of money we should be keeping our options open. Also with this Corona virus shite , who can say how much his club want as all we have really heard is agent talk, clubs will be struggling all over Europe the longer there is no football and will want to offload players just to get them off the wage bill things could become that bad. I never mentioned the price tag. Read your post back to yourself. Every team in the world needs money now. I just said I hope we sign the boy.

TMB 14,167 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I hope we sing him. Even if it’s the only guy we sign during the entire summer window. I doubt there will be much movement at all this summer but Hagi is very talented and we should bring him here if we can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lack of goals is what cost us from January onwards. Our defensive record is actually good. We’ve conceded the same number of league goals as celtic. We had the best defense in our UEFA group. After the winter break we couldn’t score and started dropping points. We’re far too reliant on Morelos to do all the scoring IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
In walter we trust 228 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I don’t see any value above 1.5m at most, he can’t get a game for Genk ffs, but some of our fans think he is a superstar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the creative one, the one who should be making it all happen against these lesser teams then. Our defense ? Full backs are good at going forward but get causght out when defending, The best centre half we have is injured and Goldstone is either hot or cold just like Katic who I do like but needs to stop the stupid mistakes, How many headers does Goldstone need to win in the air to hit the target? The vast majority of the time he could not hit a barn door at corners . We simply are not good enough yet again it's that simple Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can only spend what we can afford right now. Before all this shit hit the fan, I would’ve went for the £4.5 mil. We’ve been crying out for a midfielder with creative skills and he could be the one. Fuck me, he’s played 7 time for us and scored 3 goals. Ryan Jack has been with us since 2017 and scored 8 times. Yes, I would sign the lad. He’s only going to get better and stronger. He will score goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allyup 174 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I can’t see us signing anyone at the moment as we have no idea where our income is coming from for the foreseeable future to pay wages for squad as it is never mind forking out money to buy players. every club all over the world will be in the same situation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

born a blue nose 90,719 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 I’ve been frustrated at times watching him but can see real potential.

We are excellent until there is pressure. Mind you, If they had played the way they had pre-December we would probably be discussing exactly why Doncaster and the SPFL thought null and void would be the best way to end the season but still continue the Scottish cup next season.
