1.5 million is definitely not sod all in league 1 mate
Especially for fucking Windass and Crooks.
Just because they've not been great for us doesn't mean they wouldn't easily find teams down south to take them on. Crooks did a good job for Scunthorpe and windass would do a good job down south as well. Even 750k each, we will still have made a decent turn on that, considering the pair cost us around 250k iirc.

Aye, considering Liverpool wanted 5mil for rossitter, and 1.5 mil is sod all even in league one nowadays. And crooks had a decent run with Scunthorpe, helped get them up I believe. Hopefully he can take windass with him down there

"Reasonably." You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Sorry, would "it's not unreasonable to expect" be a better sentence to use?

7 million??? Get your tin hat on mate - it's fuckin merciless in here
Windass and crooks would make it in league one no bother. 3 mil for the combined two,
Waghorn and kiernan the same, maybe 2.5 for those two.
Halliday, Forrester and MOH 1.5mil (500k each is realistic imo)
We seem to downplay the player values a lot, when you just have to look at some of the deals other teams have had for players of lesser quality.

Apologies if this thread has been done to death, but I never really see these two play. However, I don't need to see them play to know they will do a better job in the middle for us than the shower of shite we have. What's people's opinions of these two? I've been told McLean is the best player in Scotland that isn't wearing hoops and jack is a solid improvement on us but some of you guys maybe see them play a lot more than me.
Also, thinking of a bin list for our squad, I come up with
Waghorn, MOH, windass, crooks, Forrester, kiernan, halliday, hill, senderos, and the two loanees. Being optimistic, for the ones we could flog, I reckon if we worked hard on selling instead of giving them away for peanuts, like sellick do, we could reasonably expect 7 million for the lot of them, mainly to teams south of the border. (This would be a decent return considering what we paid too so not all bad)
What do you lot think and who do you think we could get in for that as replacements?
I thought of jack, McLean, Bruno, maybe at a push Weiss if he is willing to take a big pay cut, that's what I have so far.

Wouldn't mind seeing more rotation of the keepers, or even a leagues/cups keeper rotation like we had with shagger and Alexander. Alnwick is a good keeper and deserves more minutes, I just think he hasn't come in with much chance as fod hasn't been injured and for the most part has been decent this season, influential in some games so it's hard to drop him because of that. But with a new season and new cup competitions id like to see alnwick getting a few games

Celtic got Dembele for about £600k. It was compensation but there's no reason why we can't do something similar. I doubt we'll have much money this summer and £1m for an Aberdeen player might represent a huge portion of our summer budget. That doesn't concern you?
People miss the fact they they gave him a giant sign on bonus, probably appearance bonuses and huge bonuses for goals and obviously immediate champions league football. And they probably sold him on the platform of a big money move down south within a season or two. Something we can't do right now as we are a shit selling club and our team is dross.

Should've called the Titanic waghorn, would've missed that iceberg nae bother

They showed over exuberance that's all.

if, big if, we sign naismith, whittaker and lafferty, would naismith and whittaker not count? we had naismith in the academy and whittaker was at hibs as a youth. so thats potentially 2 out of 3 squad improving signings that would fit in with this policy.

Thought it was 80.
How do you know he had been saving?
It was in the video and his Instagram post.
His dad went to all of his matches and took him up and down the country to every game as a youth in a battered old focus and he wanted to repay his dad for it and he said he'd been saving since he got his first pro contract to get his dad his dream car, a Jag. Looked to me like an F type or something which is about 40 grand.

There's a boy plays for them and is 18 in the youth team. Was on fb and bought his dad a 80k car
It was a 30-40 grand Jag, and he didnt exactly go and chuck a weeks wages at it, he'd been saving for 3 years from his youth contract to buy it.
Still a lot of money but youths aren't on as much as you think down there. Plenty of young guns in the premiership with appearances to their names earning a grand or two a week.

Quite a few that you should be able to speak to who could pick you up en route I suspect. Good luck.
cheers mate, dont think my local one is running anymore but ill ask the 2 lads mentioned.

Alright lads, years ago (2011 i think it was) I used to get a supporters bus now and then to some games. After splitting up with my OH I've got a lot more time on my hands so want to get up to the odd game when money allows. Are there any supporters clubs buses that go from Cumbria or pick up at Workington, Carlisle etc? Thanks a lot.

Don't see how a DOF would work considering we got caixinha in as a manager and not a head coach.
It's my understanding that a DOF is responsible for transfers and scouting leaving the coach to just select the team and obviously work the training.
Because we brought him and his assistants in as manager and assistant managers, i really don't see the point of a DOF especially in our financial position. That 200k+ a year could go into other more practical areas, such as towards youth development, scouting, or paying rossiter's private medical fees.

Zlatans on a three game ban would be tough to score from his hoose.
Only a domestic ban, big bastard let me down against rostov for £40

I think most players deserve their chance under Pedro. Still 10 games to prove they can do something better to warrant being here.
Considering we will be losing hyndman and total, hopefully crooks coming back fit with something to prove, linking well with windass and if Jordan rossiter ever kicks a ball again, we'd have a much beefier midfield. Hyndman is magic but he's got no strength, like a better zelalem.

I saw Ally and Walter at a petrol station just outside of Glasgow on my way home from a game. Both very pleasant, this was before Ally became a gardener though.

They actually piss me off something rotten. What are they actually doing that is of great benefit to our club?

Finance, management, infastructure, playing squad, ability to attract better players.
Not to mention their bargaining of players that they sign for 50p, play 3 games in Europe where they get humped all game then want 50mil for them.
Especially for fucking Windass and Crooks.
McLean, jack and other transfers

That's it mate, we need to borrow the saville calculator from the stinky bunch across the city, much as I detest those scummy bastards they can sell mediocrity for big bucks.
