  1. To be fair, to see players sold - even at a small loss - rather than allowing them to run their contracts down is a step in the right direction.

  2. All the best, Sam Adrianus Martinus Lammers! I'll always remember when he... That day he... Did that... When he... Good luck!

  3. Pretty sure he only has 12 months left on his contract

  4. When hearing the name 'Hannibal' it's interesting to see whose first thought is elephants and Alps and who thinks of cannibalism and Jodie Foster. A true cultural divide! Recent loanees have done ok, Tillman and Sima were successes I'd say. There's some incentive for this lad with his contract nearly up and it being unlikely he's going to make it at Man Utd. I saw him against us on Saturday. He caught the eye however I'm not sure if that's because of his unusual name and impressive hair or because of his ability. We need some bodies in, this doesn't seem like the worst business we could do.

  5. I decided to avoid the Bear congregation and do some sightseeing today (Bierpinsel, Kaiser Wilhelm church and some unexpected journeys due to construction work on large parts of the S Bahn...somebody could've warned me!). My son and I had a good laugh at some cross dressers on the U Bahn and it has to be said that German blokes really should avoid black leather jackets - no matter how they wear them they look like they're in the SS. 🤣 Soviet memorial will be visited tomorrow, pre-match, in honour of our East Berliners. I'm hoping to fit in Hitler's Schwerbelastungskörper and Bowie's apartment too but the S Bahn issue may hamper that. Mon The Rangers!

  6. Diomande - could be ok, jury out. Raskin - I thought he’d be a good signing. I may be wrong. Injuries prevent him from getting a settled run of games. Barron - still novice. Dowell - oh dear. Rice - promising eighteen months ago. No progress. Lowry Mk 2. McKinnon - is he promising yet? So really Diomande, Raskin and Barron.

  7. Shankland is a goalscorer; Dykes is just a target-man. I wouldn't mind Shankland for a modest fee, but I don't see Hearts playing ball. Dykes is a hard 'nope!', for me.

  8. I'll only make a prediction if @Rousseau is handing out grand board titles. Still waiting for my super-special Euro 2024 winners avatar, after all! And I need to bookmark this thread, so we can go over it on January and May 2025 ...

  9. I'm personally a little disappointed we've not been able to find a place for him, but I'm not displeased to see him moved off the wage bill if he's not in Clement's plans.

  10. Some information for the day ahead (which I hope will be an interesting one): - Cifuentes will be changing his loan club to Aris Thessaloniki for this season with a mandatory purchase option - Goldson has been videoed heading to Amsterdam with luggage suggesting a move (perhaps Aris Limassol but could be a Saudi club) has been agreed - Cerny hopefully passed his medical in Manchester so may be announced later - Jordan from Seville could be getting closer as well - Harry Souttar is being allowed to leave on loan for this season

  11. Wow, Sam Lammers has gone. All the best to him. I have a twinge of disappointment that we never got to see him like he was in Holland.

  12. Tbf Jack and Raskin weren't exactly regulars last season, and Lundstram was posted missing too often. I'm up for a re-rig in the engine room, it's high time.

  13. Lest I forget ... ... the game will be screened on free TV tomorrow afternoon. You may have to do some VPNing to get this working, they currently show Essen vs Leverkusen, if you want to try your luck. https://tv.sport1.de/live/sport1

  16. And here's a cultural touchstone for older Western loving supporters: 'Alias Smith and Jones'. This was a western TV series, which ran way, way, back, in which the main characters were Hayes, and Curry - Kid Curry, and, yes, you've got it, Hannibal Hayes. (I once researched the Western genre, on film and TV. It all changed with 'Shane'.)

  18. Cantwell has some degree of footballing talent but isn’t able to deploy it consistently or for that matter, effectively. Not at all sorry to see him go. (Nothing to do with his daft beard and stupid haircut, honest)

  19. If we go with the MF squad we’ve got at present we’ll get destroyed. We must get better bodies in

  22. Is he one of these left-footed right-wingers? I know nothing about him but if he's a Czech international he must have something about him, surely.

  24. I love an inswinging cross. You don't see it much, but it always looks much more dangerous than a traditional cross.

  26. Props Compo. These are the best threads IMO. The misery...lol! I expect Rangers, if Clement's PoA is sound, to bounce back relatively quickly. League-Second place. I say a slow start will kill our hopes for a league title. Cups-Scottish Cup I do think we will have our shit together (combined with some lucky draws) enough by the season's 30% point to seriously challenge for one, if not both domestic cups. CL- Europa League-If it is an 'easy' group? Second...then no idea. That should coincide with when I expect things to really start clicking...Xmas. Back at Ibrox, team gellin...bam son!

  27. Good news! First of hopefully a few positives deals (in and out) over the coming week. On the face of it, Cerny has a good pedigree and should provide a much needed attacking threat from the right side, as well as goals. Excited to see him feature tomorrow with a bit of luck.

  28. He does - Man U preference is to sell him this window (obviously) but apparently have only received loan enquiries (us and another club).

  29. No red cards? Collum will soon be instructing his corrupt referees Clancy, Robertson & Walsh to sort that.

  30. Can't wait for headlines like, 'Hannibal Silences the Lambs at Pittodrie' !! Get him signed.

  31. I’d like that as a signing. Hopefully he has a killer instinct and can smell blood 🤦‍♀️

  32. Contract up at end of season as well so potential to get him permanently

  33. That was the guestimate quoted in the media at the time but I have been told by someone who would know that we got him effectively for nothing.

  34. Its literally the definition of insanity to keep doing the same things and expect a different outcome . Like it or lump it we need to give Clement and Koppen time to sort out this boards mess , they should have backed Gerrard they didnt , they should have backed Van Bronckhurst with the players he wanted they didnt , they then allowed Beale to go Rogue , we are now coming to see the end of this , we need to back him , we need another central mid , and a striker as well as a proper center half .

  35. We are looking at starting competitive football with half a squad, and folk are worried about hairlines. Charlton, Zidane, to name but two baldies who could play a bit.

  36. So as it stands our team for Tynecastle will look like this : Butland Tav / Sterling Balogun Souttar Ridvan / Jefte Dio Barron Wright / Lawrence(?) MaCausland Dessers Cortes very few options to change that 11 or bring on from the bench. Just have to hope and pray any players signed before Tynecastle have had a good pre-season, are fit and ready to hit the ground running.

  37. No surprise to see Cantwell the next player to be moved on. In May many fans wanted big changes to the squad and the leadership group removed. That is happening (albeit too slowly) and, as per PLG in many ways, it's very much a case of the manager leading the way. Can he deliver and take the players (new and old) with him? FWIW, Cantwell is talented but less so the application. Social media use is his business but when he loses focus because of it and fails to accompany his big claims with big performances then fans will always lose patience. It's a negative pattern for him to change now.

  38. Actually quite a sad fall from grace for us and them. In recent years we have both loaned players deemed not god enough for Benfica and we bought Feyenoords backup striker for a premium. We have lost out on targets to PSV and the likes of Tillman and sold our best player to Ajax. I know we’re were cannon fodder to the likes of the epl teams. But to see teams in thought of as equals like the Dutch big 3 and portugals big 3 buy and sell us really hits home where we sit in footballs pecking order. our TV deal (or lack of) is killing us and the real power brokers of the SPFL (Dermots minions and friends of) are happy to see it while the other mob remain on top. Food for thought.
