  1. Phil ran out of miracles.

    Good number of that squad are either sub-standard or dead on their feet or both.

    Fully fit Cantwell plus Cortes, Sterling, Sima and Danilo and we win that game.

    Phil has wrung every last drop out of Dessers, a sad excuse for a forward. He must have no part in our team next season, same as Barisic, Davies, Jack, Dowell, Matondo, Hagi, McCausland (harsh but he’s never going to make it if we’re being brutally honest) and Wright.

    In the meantime, get them rested as much as possible between now and the end of the international break and let’s get ourselves a treble.

    Its the best way to finance the overhaul we need.

    Not at all, in fact I think getting the three we did get was good work. 

    What I meant was I don't agree he'll view the defence as his number one priority 

    Forward area has to be top priority by a mile.

    Sima - loan over

    Silva - ditto

    Roofe - thankfully out of contract

    Wright - hopefully out of contract, if not try to sell him/give him away

    Matondo - get whatever we can, not good enough

    McCausland - we all wanted him to blossom especially under Clement but he’ll never be a regular first team player

    Dessers - last man standing or he’d be nowhere near the team. Accept almost any offer, he’s never a Rangers centre forward

    That leaves only two forwards worthy of the jersey, Cortes and Danilo.

    Given that we’ve still to stump up for Cortes and Diomande, the chances of buying Sima and/or Silva are pretty slim. If another season loan for one or both was an option, I’d grab it.

    Even with CL money, we will still need to spend wisely.

    I’d say that we need at least three forwards, preferably one of them right sided.

    Cole had made good progress and was one that looked likely for first team football.

    A concern was that after initially doing well on loan at Thistle, he lost his place I think initially through injury, he got stuck on their subs bench.

    Hopefully the recent break into the first team again can see him kick on.

    Of our other midfielders, who is Cole closest to in style and the way he plays?

    Thanks 👍

  4. Same old story with loan players.

    You want them to do well to help our cause but the danger is that clubs with bigger budgets snap them up.

    Silva is clearly enjoying it here and a season in the CL (if we win the league) isn’t going to lessen the fee that Wolves eventually get for him although £35m does seem high.

    The best we can hope for, realistically, is keeping him for another year on the back of 56.

    That would do nicely :pipe:

    Aye we clearly fucked that. Unpopular again but we fucked the signing of their other mainstay captain from Hibs. Kevin Thomson was excellent but fitness was an issue and I was convinced we were signing Brown at that time as well.

    We agreed a deal to sign Brown just after Thomson. They were pretty inseparable and were known as The Twins because you never found one without the other. It was always an assumption that they would come as a pair and both would join the same club.

    Handshakes all round but his agent (Willie McKay) subsequently got a bigger offer from Sellick and reneged on the promise that Brown would follow his mate to Ibrox.

    Fee was £4.4m and wages over five years meant the total cost to the scum was around £11m.
