I have said this to many of my mates. We are a really diffirent team but I'm here to be proved wrong next week, I'm confident in what we have but don't want to be jumping the gun in this yet. I had real vivid dream the other night I kid you not .So I know what I'm betting next week Katic scored first for us but they scored at the death 1-1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is so much value out there. Mad cunts think throwing money at mediocre, overpriced talents is the answer when it's just daft and makes no sense from a footballing view and certainly not from a business view either. It's almost like they need to be seen to be spending large transfer fees. EPL is worse for it. It's madness that guys like Goldson, Katic, Barasic, Coulibaly etc were not on the radar of EPL teams when they have the scouting set up to unearth these talents for relative pennies in comparison to EPL budgets. However they'll just waste £30million on a guy from the same league they play in who's had 3 good games all season! I think you're massively underestimating the gulf in quality between our league and the EPL. Those four players would be very good championship level players but there's not a chance of say Coulibaly bettering even the below average EPL midfielders. Yet, anyway.

Hint of pressure and he looks like he’s heading for rehab Exactly . Ive never bought in to the media claiming how good he or his team are . Fuck sake , they're not even a patch on the team oneill had while we were winning trebles and doubles off them . I've said all along , this isnt about how good they are , but how poor we , and the rest of Scottish football , have been lately . Probably the poorest standard of football the Scottish league has ever seen . One thing I will give him though , is he's quick to see an opportunity , but I sense that's soon to change . I don't think we're quite there yet , but for the first time in 5/6 years we can visibly see we're heading in the right direction . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those four players would be very good championship level players but there's not a chance of say Coulibaly bettering even the below average EPL midfielders. Yet, anyway. I think you're possibly overrating the EPL. It's nowhere near the quality it once was IMO. I'm not suggesting our players walk into a top 6 EPL but anything below that I believe they could do a job. Could Goldson do a job at a Newcastle, Bournemouth, Burnley, Huddersfield, West Ham, Burnley? Could Coulibaly do similar, IMO, yes. Of course some will argue Goldson couldn't get a game at Brighton but the two Brighton centre halves were/are in the form of their lives. He was just a little unlucky there. One good game in the EPL and suddenly everyone loses all sense of perspective. Admittedly I've not seen a lot Coulibaly, and you could argue the same against me, but his style IMO is perfectly suited for most teams and I think he could adapt to playing at most teams. You would also think a guy on the fringes of the Croatian squad would be on someone's radar. In addition to that you have the bold Boyata being touted around down south for silly money. Would you rather have him or Goldson. I know who i'd rather have. I know it's always mentioned but Andy Robertson is now established himself as one of the bets left backs in the EPL. In EPL terms £8million is nothing but when he went to Hull he was even cheaper. You also have guys like Coleman, Ryan Fraser, and of course Kante who all cost very little. Even if those kind of signings fail it's pennies for EPL team so they have very little to lose. I just think EPL teams seem to be doing their shopping similar to the tarriers insofar as they are just signing players they've played against them in an overpriced market. They spend £20/£30million without blinking an eye when a good scouting system could potentially get you 2, 3, 4 players and much better value. Not that i'm complaining though As long as we are on the right track that's all that matters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd never have thought they'd just won a sixth trophy in a row just 3 months ago. The arrogance and the fact that the majority of their fans are more interested in what "Sevco" are up to is really coming back to bite them massively. I'd love to see us put some sustained pressure on this season. A win next Sunday would start it but I think if we were to win the Betfred Cup that would be the beginning of the end for Brenda.

Over the course of a season we'd struggle to get into the top 6 in the English championship and would be certainties to be bottom in the EPL. 2) I agree he probably could, but he wouldn't look like the second coming of Bobby Moore like he looks for us. He's a top championship player, capable of doing a job for lower EPL teams, who is looking like a star against mainly English league 1 level opposition. 3) He looks like he'll be a very good player for us and I'm happy to have him, but Corluka was in the squad and he's absolutely done. I agree with you that they're overspending, but think the players they're overspending on are still far better players than the ones we're bringing in. If we suddenly played in England we would have a solid championship side with maybe 3 or 4 players capable (right now) of playing in the EPL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s major unidentified issues or underlying problems that can lead to problems that medical teams will flag up as an issue and a reason to fail. Surely wanting to join them is a major mental health issue that needs to be highlighted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fast forward - BR - ‘Boyota couldn’t play in Europe because of the back problem that stopped him from playing last week ’ ‘I want 4 players in before the window shuts’ All over the place and frustrating no-one in MSM is confronting him and calling it out. On the upside I’m personally enjoying how things are starting to play out and a win next week for us will cause major unrest in the East end...
