McDonald was Celtic's Kris Boyd Slow, chubby, below average at every aspect of the game outwith putting the ball in the net

Goram Hutton Gough Amoruso Numan Laudrup Gascoigne Gio Albertz McCoist Hateley Subs: Boumsong, Klos, Cuellar, McCall, Barry Ferguson, Ian Ferguson, Jelavic

McDonald has been linked with us since the day he left Celtic He's on a rumoured 25k a week and is worth nowhere near that

3 years is fine for someone who with all due respect, isn't exactly world renowned We've signed some absolute garbage from abroad in the last decade, so can't be throwing around 5 year deals to all and sundry

Don't play like Mo, don't play like Mo, Alejandro Welcome sir

Mate, posters calling one another 'negative' is becoming a right of passage on here If someone can't handle a little negativity, a forum isn't really the place for them

Decent goalkeeper and better than Zaluska No terrible goalkeeper breaks the clean sheet record in his first season

Seriously doubt this is true. He has travelled to Slovenia.

Back in Russia at his old club, hasn't got a move yet

Watching the Kilmarnock Hibs highlights, that guy Dayton for Killie looked absolute class. Doesn't have the foreign sounding name of an Eremenko or a Taouil but one i'll continue to monitor

Hardly my point is it? Where's the Juhasz and Cuellar money? And FYI (Orange Clement will like that one) Ugo Ehiogu was, on the whole, shit. Nobody remembers/cares because he scored against Celtic

A 32 year old released by Fulham 3 years ago and valued at £400,000 is a massive step down from Cuellar and Juhasz, no matter how people try to dress it up

I don't believe for a second that Whyte/Smith/whoever has been sitting around for the last 2 months not having a clue what's going on with Cuellar.

Papers claimed Anderlecht would've accepted our last offer if he waived an £170,000 signing on fee or loyalty bonus or something like that, but he refused Seems hard to believe given he's still bitching about being denied the chance to join us

Considering the Cuellar deal's dead, why haven't we just put some of that money to the Juhasz deal and accepted Anderlecht's demands? I mean surely that's better than scrambling around looking for a last minute alternative? Or maybe, just maybe, we never had any intention of signing Cuellar

"get the fuk behind ur team no matter waht" is such an irritating phrase, like questioning anything the club does is the sign of a bad fan or something Anyone who puts a penny of their own money into Rangers via merchandise or tickets deserves an opinion

How much of it would go into Whyte's invisible transfer fund? I'd estimate £8.4 million

McCulloch actually started quite well for us. But after he was sent off for a headbutt at Pittodrie around Christmas time, his game just fell apart. The problem with a big tall guy playing as a winger is that unless you continually ping balls onto his forehead, chances are he's going to contribute fuck all. And he did.

Will Whyte tell the fans what happened to the Cuellar, Juhasz, and Goodwillie money if we sign a defender for £400,000? Will Chef avoid the temptation to quote this post and tell me how Bocanegra's a bargain and the rest were overpriced?

They were both at the club between January and June 2008 and Aaron Hughes and Paul Konchesky, who were mainstays for the next two years, were already at the club when Hangeland signed I said Fulham's defensive record was awful when Bocanegra played for them. OrangeClement ridiculed me for this statement so i came back with the stats. Simple as that. I'm aware holes can be picked in them.

I don't find myself to be overly negative either. My opinions/moods on the club are dictated by events and results. Unlike many people i could name, i don't adopt an online persona that i refuse to ever deviate from. I've got plenty of abuse for being too positive about Lafferty, Whittaker, and Bougherra, and even Edu in the final few weeks of last season.

Everyone uses stats to suit their agenda I was simply putting forward a case for Fulham having a dreadful defensive record with Bocanegra in the team, and a good one once he was replaced by Hangeland Maybe this was totally about other factors and he's actually a really good defender. But judging by the games i've watched him play in (i'd estimate around 10 times) i don't rate him and think it's yet another example of cheap, short term planning from our board

You don't even have proper opinions. If somebody says something you perceve as negative, it's like a red flag to you. I doubt you even know what you're saying half the time.

The permanently (faux) cheery, let's clamp down on any negativity mob are starting to do my tits in and making me look at the likes of yourself in a different light.
