Only interested if Stevie is on it. RR are cunts.

His voice is unbearable and his views near as bad.

Joshua Barrie talks the most sense on it by far.

I think the A-League is the emerging market we should look at. 

Been a steady stream of players started coming over here from that league over the past couple of years, and although they have varying degrees of quality, all of them are grafters who work like fuck and have no problems adapting to or dealing with the physical nature of Scottish Football.

If we scout right and makes sure the players have a bit of technical quality too then I think that’s the untapped market where we could pick up a couple of gems from.

What A-League players have moved directly to a reasonably high level in Europe? Genuine question, don't follow it.

Cummings being a star in it doesn't fill me with confidence.

Can talk sense but the only one close to the club is Stevie. See enough opinions on here without having to listen to another one.

Joshua is every bit as close with them now. Actually get the impression Stevie (and Edgar to an extent) is a wee bit further away than previously now that Staunchy is gone. Seem to be going back to giving stuff more to 'traditional' media than fan media.

Not too sure about that but time will tell this summer who comes out with stuff more.

Looking at stuff like today, Butland/Dowell stories both out via 'traditional' media. No heads up to fan media on Robertson walking. Don't think either have had access to Beale beyond pressers too

That’s Joshua cunt’s accent is brutal.

[Lord Lockin 4,019]

The worry for me is Beale seems to be quoting we need 5 players, looking at the present squad it's more like 15 not 5 players we need.

Not possible in one window though

[OrangeRab 3,399]

5 starters would probably do it - if they were well thought out transfers with a bit of money behind them. 
 

But given the scatter gun championship route we’re going down. 15 sounds about right. Might end up with 4-5 that actually improve us

We have a squad of 33 players. If we let 12 go including everyone out of contract and signed 5 that’s a 26 man squad. More than enough I think.

The Scandinavian market was the emerging market of choice about 15 years ago.

We have people who don’t want us to spend 5 million on Tillman, well there are 18-22 year olds who are still little more than potential leaving Denmark, Norway & Sweden for a lot more than that now.

There is a lot of talent in the Nordic countries but clubs arent letting them go for peanuts anymore. We need to get in before. We need to get in when they are leaving for academies in Holland/Belgium/Germany

Sorry pal, our folders only include Belgium or the English Championship/League 1 🙄

If we are only signing 5 players as Beale suggests and that is the 5 then we are winning fuck all next season.

That’s just the names that have been banded about here and ff. Obviously there might be some truth to it but someone’s just gathered that information and put it up on a Whats app to look like they’re in the know.

Ill admit diamond being the new eskbank isn't something I seen coming 

Got me wondering who has the loose lips though. 

[OrangeRab 3,399]

Didn’t realise this. Iwata who by all accounts has been very good for them since coming in. Cost 1 million?! Was best XI of the season and also voted Player of the Year.

Wtf don’t we just do that. Million quid for the best player in the league.

Japanese exchange rate also helping.. Pound (which has been shite) has appreciated 20% since Covid against the yen.

West end luvvie who's likes to mention XG over and over again like he's on repeat.

Tremendous head of hair but beyond that as vacuous as the Hibs supporter fronting the show.

 

 

What a team.

He’ll bring in a few that will improve the squad - that won’t be hard given the shite we are currently lumbered with.

Worry for me is it’ll be lazy signings just to get numbers in rather than a standard that’ll really challenge over a season. 
 

Goldson, maybe Tav, Lawrence if he’s not fucked, Raskin and Cantwell are all I’d keep. The mess we are in is scary. 

[mitre_mouldmaster 21,511]

He looks a player to be fair.
