djbroxybear 660 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Your not freeing up much money. Then who takes them?Were paying wages out mate x there contracts it will add up to a fair amount, Healy, Weir, Little, Kerkar, shouldn't have got new contrats. Clubs have been sniffing round Edu, I'm sure a Championship club would take Beattie, Broadfoot was saying if he didn't get a game he would go on loan he must be confident of getting a club, McCulloch will probobly sit out his contract unless told so by Ally your surplus to requirements but i think if he fit he will get a game even though imo he is done.8 players in our squad who are not good enough apart from Weir who has served us well but should not have got a new contract.

stevotrueblue 382 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 We would get something for Edu ( does relief count as anything?) and Broadfoot as they both have a few years to offer. The rest we wouldnt ,, but be worth it just in wages alone. Beattie supposedly on around 20K a week !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaguy51 941 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Panic much?The squad we have, when fully fit, is enough to retain this league.Moreso with the fewer intense games we have with being out of Europe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco Negri's Beard 1,423 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Some would have us writing this season off already. Ha have a look around Scotland, nobody is saying this squad is anywhere near perfect but now that we are out of Europe, we don't need to particularly rush in building this squad all before this deadline. It's a gradual build which we will do over a matter of years. For now, we have a big squad and certainly a good enough squad to challenge for all domestic trophies. I'd like another striker but there's no way i'd complain that our squad isn't capable of winning trophies in Scotland. Once the window closes we will settle down. Playing shite and still comfortably picking up maximum points. It's the SPL, not the Premiership Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCLACHLAN1 49 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 The league table suggests otherwise.Everyone keeps wheeling out the league position as a benchmark.We have been Shyte all season and in games against anyone that have mattered we have lost.

There was me thinking Goodwillie who statisticaly was the best player in the SPL palyed for Dundee Hibernian If you mean Weiss he only played untill March. Miller only played until January. So did we fluke the last 6 months and 3 months respectively?Do you have a euthanasia kit at home?

U going to deny that?It's not negativity.... It is reality.We have played poorly, where have i denied that? How can the leauge paper over the cracks. We have conceded 1 goal ffs. Most people would look at it and say "once we start performing the leauge should be ours" but not in the world of the most negative poster on RM. Fs you would think Rangers are sitting 7th in the leauge with hardly a chance of top 6 football. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

U going to deny that?It's not negativity.... It is reality.All this and we still won 2-0 and have only conceded 1 goal in the league with a makeshift backline. I'm not gonna deny we were poor on Sunday and i don't think we have been brilliant all season, but while we have been pretty rubbish, we've still comfortably won most games. As I say, its the SPL, we don't have to play brilliantly to win. I'd love to have a fantastic team right now but it's about building a squad over time. This squad will settle and improve, also a lot of guys to come back from injuries. If we were playing poorly and losing i'd bbe panicking but now that we don't have European football, I don't see the need to panic about the quality of our squad right now Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What else do we use as a benchmark? The League Cup? The Scottish Cup? Fuck it let's enter the Alba challenge cup and use that a the benchmark.European football is needed for financial reasons but it's certainly not the bench mark for how successful we will be domestically.After five games, including trips to two away grounds where we always struggle, we are top of the pile having scored ten goals and conceded one and that's with us struggling.

We can't afford quality and no point in spending cash to make up the numbers on second rate foreigners. More likely we will offload a couple of players in this window.

Amac9 2,060 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I won't be holding my breath. There are serious questions over how much money there actually is and judging by our signings and offers for players there can't be that much.

I don't want to make myself look like an arse when it happens but i'd be utterly dumbfounded if someone paid £3m for a guy who literally cannot find the net. It would make me lose a hell of a lot of respect for Steve Bruce if he thought that was value for money. Anyway, have to wait and see, wouldn't surprise me if these figures are being bumped up by the press or Celtic themselves. Maybe it just works on the Celtic transfer scale where Ki is apparently a £10m player. Chortle Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWTC 2,450 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Tbh mate if the taigs sign this cunt from Maritimo you may just find Whyte will sanction a deal. Im sorry i can't have that bit in bold mate! Why would you be disapointed with the team who won the leauge last year with our new signings who have not as of yet let us down?Sorry mate, busy in work today.Id be disapointed because we've hardly spent a penny. Yes we won the league last year, but id prefer us to concentrate on actually bein good instead of being the better of two shite teams. The performances so far havent done anything to reassure me. Weve lost both our 3iar winning centre halfs, imo weirs finished. IMO we still need what we needed at the start of the window, a quality CB, CM, and CF.Fair enuff, goian looks the part, wallace too, i'll reserve judgeelment on bedoya.and mckay, ortiz needs to do much more and bartley isnt our player.Yes, we won the double last year, but so far this season we've been brutal.

MCLACHLAN1 49 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I just think it's bizarre that it seems we have signed 7 players.... Yet look worse as a team.....I know we have injuries but it just doesn't sit right with me.Plus Coisty , Whyte and Co. have wheeled out a lot of stuff about X amount of pounds bids being put out....I don't like being lied to...It feels like I/we have....
