Are you happy with our signings thus far? Edmundson - 700k Hastie -350k Aribo - 300k Jones - free Stewart - free Davis - free Ojo - loan pretty low key, but I'm fairly happy. The 3 we've paid for I have high hopes about. Jones, I'm unsure, seems a bit hit or miss, hope I'm wrong. Stewart the same, but I recognise that with Dundee and Killie he showed some quality, hopefully proven wrong. Davis - quality Ojo - hopeful, Gerrard knows him, so confident that he will do well.

Presuming we stick with the tactics towards the end of the season Three from Jack Davis Kamara, Arfield and aribo Two from Ojo, Jones, Candeias, Stewart and Arfield Basing this on Hastie, Middleton and mccrorie going on loan. Holt, dorrans and grezda look like they are on the way out The likes of halliday, rossiter and Murphy surely won't get much game time? Especially if Kent comes in. Think candeias will have a reduced role this season too. Question is.... Is that midfield good enough to win the league?

Not sure what pi retro console is mate, but don't be mugged into buying a rip off 3rd party offer. Raspberry pi 3b+ 35 quid SD card tenner ish (depending on size) Controllers - depends what you are after Case - if you want one A lot of companies selling images of retropie, which is free. I'm a bit addicted to this, probably spend more time tinkering than playing the games 😂

This has cracked me up 😂 Folk moaning about a position where we are absolutely solid and have 3 keepers in Alnwick, Wes and shagger. 2 young goalies in firth and mccrorie who could be 3rd choice and look like decent prospects. Comfortably the best goalkeeping options in the league and folk still aren't happy. For the op, unless someone leaves the order is 1. McGregor 2. Fod 3. Alnwick 4. Firth 5. Mccrorie Maybe Alnwick and Firth swap round. Would expect Alnwick to go and we'd still be comfortable

Wallace at one point was linked with Nottingham forest. Remember jig being linked with a move to the bundesliga. Where they could have went is irrelevant. They wanted to be here so they stayed. They were loyal. Still doesn't mean either should get a testimonial

Wallace was also getting paid a fortune too and has had 2/3 good seasons for us. Jig had some good moments with us too and wanted to stay to help us get up. He stayed when others left. Same as Wallace. The point is testimonials are about service, not ability and jig gave just as much to this club as Wallace. Bottom line is neither deserves a testimonial. They should be commended for staying (Can't criticise folk for walking out and at the same time criticise those that stay 😂) but that's it.

Here's my thoughts. Lee wallace is a legend and he deserves all the praise he gets. Does he deserve a testimonial... No. If he deserves a testimonial, why wouldn't say Lee McCulloch? Because we chose to release him prior to the season in the spl? Could argue Wallace has done nothing in Europe and jig was part of a team that got us to a European final.

Pretty sure he asked to leave

What's he done? Other than his usual shithousery on the pitch? Btw how has he become such a rock in defence. Mind he came to us and he could barely kick a ball. We turned him into a right back because he wasn't trusted to play his 'natural' position. To think we got to a European final with him in the team is some achievement. That said he did a job for us and left in the right way, so I can't totally slate him.

Another concern for me is Jones, Hastie, Stewart are coming in and I'm not sure any of them improve us. Probably most excited for Hastie tbh but he's barely kicked a ball. Jones might do it, Stewart is pretty inconsistent but has ability. I suppose anyone is better than grezda. Murphy I still hope can come back. I like candeias but I think he's coming to the end of his Rangers career. Wouldnt replace him with jones, Hastie or Stewart right now though

Also... Did he not get the assist today?

Never heard of him, but not adverse to a loan deal.

You wouldn't take Taylor?

Good point Flanagan, started ok, fell apart, bombed completely from the squad, decent since coming back in. Love that he's no nonsense. Barisic, looked world class against us, bar a couple of decent crosses hasn't done anything for us. Halliday probably the most consistent. Concerned that when he played DM for us he looked decent for a while then looked completely lost.... Is he doing the same thing but just in another position?

Agree to disagree 👍 well to a point anyway... I guess that depends on who is brought in. If N'golo Kante wants a move, he'd maybe just have the edge 😂

He's had a few games where that's happened, I won't disagree and he's not the type of midfielder who is going to win us a lot of games on his own... I.e he's not an arfield who gets into the box or a Davis who can pick a pass. However without him, who else do we have that can give the likes of dicker and power as good as they get. Not even sure Kamara matches them in that respect. I also believe he offers more than that and in some of our European games he was outstanding. Jack has a purpose in out team and at least 8 times out of 10 I reckon he delivers.

I'd disagree with the massively inconsistent part. I think he's been one of our most consistent. I think this final third of the season he's struggled a bit after injury at times. Since moving to the Jack, Davis, Kamara, Arfield midfield we've been great and Jack has played a part in that Badly missed that shape today in my opinion.

I actually think garner was unlucky in that Warburtons style didn't suit him. However your point is right. Big fee signings have not worked in our favour. At least Gerrard had Goldson and Katic work out. We need Kent imo, so that should be another. Maybe the argument is we need to use the loan system more to understand who is going to fit in. At one point we thought coulibaly and Barisic were world beaters. At the same time Kent was struggling. It's all turned around now.

I didn't feel Borna was worth better brands

A must signing for me next season. I'd sell Barisic for whatever we can get, (I'd swap him for a twix, packet of skips and a can or irn bru.) Wallace - is off, legend but performances haven't been up to the level required for a long time. Halliday - squad player at best, as the seasons gone on, I think he's probably behind Flanagan as back up lb imo. Who would you sign? Ive had a look and couldn't find many who we might sign.. From who I know, I'd pick Greg Taylor. My one concern is Killie play such a rigid formation and we play much more fluidly - would he fit in. I feel if he can maintain his performances he'd be better than what we have Max Lowe is an option, I like him, but I'm not sure if he's better than what we have. Olsson has just been released by Swansea, but is getting on a bit. Erik Durm at Huddersfield has a decent pedigree and is a German international and again is out of contract. Alberto Moreno out of contract at Liverpool, surely paid too much to be an option. Reece James at Sunderland is a decent left back but has had injury problems. I feel it's a position we badly need to improve and other than Lowe, we've not really been linked to signing anyone. Hopefully it's on our radar and our scouting network can pick out better names than the names above 😂

The best performances we've seen from remain the 2 games for Osijek. I was one of those guilty of thinking he was a player based on those games. Boys shite.

Folk hoping and praying for something that's not going to happen?

Not really getting why that means folk need to get a grip? He's shite. Needs to leave while we can still claw back some money for him. At fault for both goals today and been useless all season

Harsh penalty, but he's a dud. Actually think both Killie fullbacks look decent. Certainly think Taylor would be better than our lbs.
