    Borna is just another example of how poorly run we've been, but as fans I think we need to get realistic here too, guys like him, and Morelos, Kent, Goldson and Tav should be doing no more than 2/3 years here, come here, improve then move on for 3/4/5 times what you paid for them.

     

    Now it's easy saying that now when some of those are gone and fans would gladly see the back of the others, but you don't make money off poor players, you need to strike while the iron's hot, and that means selling when they're playing well, that's when their value is at it's peak, and stops us and them from becoming stale.

     

    That's why if Butlund goes in the summer I'll be gutted, but I'll understand it as long as the money is reinvested into the team, I don't want Butland to go, same as I didn't want Morelos to go in 2020, or Borna to go in 2021, or Kent to go after the Europa final, but these are the things that need to happen for a club like ours to generate the kind of money we need to continually reinvent the squad.

    Absolutely 100%. 

    We've been shocking in regards to keeping ahold of players for too long. I know it stings when you lose an asset or a fans favourite but in this game, you need to have a player trading model that allows you refresh and invest. There's no way this squad are as hungry as they were 4-5 years ago.

    Our squad has been so stale now for 2/3 years with the same faces and letting Kent and Morelos run down their contracts was shockingly poor business. Could have easily got £25-30 million for the two of them at ther peak. Now their legacy has been tainted by how it ended and how poor they both were in their final year here.

    The Motherwell game fucked us big time - we've never really recovered from that confidence wise . 

    The sad thing is , on our day I think we can beat anyone in the league and it really wouldn't surprise me if we do just that at p......d . I just don't see them dropping points anywhere else .

    It's the cup final that's left for us now . 

    The Motherwell game still pisses me off. Their striker absolutely bullied Souttar that day and had him on strings from the first minute and we had Balogun (Probably our most physical defender and loves that part of the game) on the fucking bench. Souttar was awful for the whole 90 and made errors in both of the Motherwell goals.

    Keeping Souttar on made absolutely no sense and it fucked us in the end and our form has been shite since.

  3. Mental that England could have a midfield/forward line of Rice, Bellingham, Palmer, Foden, Saka, Kane with the likes of Grealish to call upon.

    Southgate has been too loyal previously. Players like Henderson, Sterling and Rashford should be nowhere near the starting 11.

    Spurs fans joking saying they should play the kids against City, they’re not doing Arsenal any favours at all in that game tbh and the rest of the City fixtures look like a canter.

    Doesn't matter if they play their strongest XI, City will absolutely rip them apart based on current form alone.

    We’ve ran our race in the league - Dropped to many silly points just when it started to get crucial to keep winning games

    Failing to win at Ibrox in April against them was criminal

    Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be an end to this cycle we are in - There about to get £30m aswell plus any player sales 

    Cant see us winning the SC as this group of players haven’t won a game that matters against them in 2years….

    Tragic really

    Our only hope is they do their usual and make a cunt of qualifying for the UCL. Them getting all that money on our success in Europe while contributing absolutely fuck all is a real boot in the balls.

    We got Wright for peanuts and how did Hearts show us hatred?

    Yeah I don't remember Hearts being problematic, if anything, we cheaped out a deal in the January and took him on a bosman. The sheep shaggers were fuming about Jack running down his contract then coming to us, not Wright IIRC.

    Hatred for us at teams from this league makes it extremely difficult to negotiate. See Souttar and Wright as examples. They'd rather sell to the unwashed or down south for cheaper than sell to us. Facts is facts. 

    Aye, maybe Aberdeen or Hibs but I genuinely don't think Motherwell or Dundee give a flying fuck if we or them come in for one of their players, they'll just want the best deal. You'll always get salty fans however.

    That's the most sickening thing about all of this, I'm praying big Phil gets rid of the status quo, if he doesn't he could be in trouble come September himself because that's what these cunts do.

    He absolutely will be in trouble if he keeps them. They're a shower of shitebags and that doesn't go away. The core need ripped out and replaced. Should have been done two years ago under Gio.

  9. 9 goals and 5 assists in the league from midfield is very decent. He's almost averaging a goal every 4 league games. 

    As others have said, there are better options in the league than we have in the squad. Him, Connor Barron and Lennon Miller will get snapped up for sure, we're fucking hopeless at scouting/securing players from Scottish teams for some reason.

    We fucked our big opportunity to win the league when we drew 3-3 at Ibrox. The games against Ross County and Dundee were fuckin scandalous and finished it. 

    Motherwell at Ibrox started it all. A shambolic performance and our defence got bullied that day. Motherwells first win at Ibrox in almost 30 years ffs :ang: amazing stat when you think of all the shite we've had in the last 10 years.

    Not sure it's his nationality that's the problem. He's just shite. We have Portuguese and a Brazilan forwards who have just the 10 goals between them.

    Yeah true, but we've had 4 Welsh players now in the last 5 or so years and they've all been... below par is maybe saying it nicely.
