Done by the sounds of it, to be honest on a free and with prem and intl experience - regardless of how his career has stalled: it's a no brainer.

A sad indictment on our society.

Sorry guys.

Once upon a time pubs were licences to print money. Not any more. One of the richest blokes I ever knew had one of his betting shops next to a pub. He bought the pub. Most lucky winners at the bookie’s went straight next door and gave him his money back.

... seems to be a freebie soon and ... fits the bill: Achilles tendon surgery - Return unknown 😝

Butland medical today apparently

I think Beale coming in didn’t help him. Beale knew Morelos’ game inside out and how he fits into his system. If GVB had stayed, Colak would probably have returned to being first choice. As it happened, one injury ruined his season. For me, Colak is ideal as a number 2, because he’s a reliable goalscorer. I’ve defended Sakala because he’s here and out of the players available, he's often been one of the better options. His pace and goalscoring ability give us something different. But we absolutely need better than Sakala.

Dessers is an interesting rumour. At 28 he's not a project but someone experienced and talented enough to go straight into the starting XI. Alongside the acquisition of another younger striker to bring genuine competition for places and, well, more goals than we scored this season I'd be happy.

One hell of a final day in the Belgian league ends with Genk as runners up and with a CL play off spot. USG were sitting pretty for top spot at 1-0 until the 89th minute, then caved in and conceded 3. That left Genk at the top until Antwerp equalised on 90+4 and took the title. The Belgian FA are going to be bankrupted by the helicopter fuel bill!

Good luck seeing any new Rangers jerseys. Not a peep from Castore.

And to think on Saturday he was saying that he had had no contact with Spurs. About as believable as Gerrard had no contact with Aston Villa

Absolutely brilliant, a top class keeper with something to prove. 👏🏻

That's fine, but - and I apologise in advance for the affect this may have - I will respond with this: *bokes*

No luck involved. It was good organisation that ensured that the match was moved.

Damn, I don't wanna dislike that guy. I really like Moyes.

Depends on earlier qualifiers but this can give you an idea: https://kassiesa.net/uefa/seedcl2023.html

Go all in for Ross Stewart...

I for one wouldn't mind Shankland, as he's certainly a finisher and proven scorer in Scotland ... where we have to earn our corn. I would likewise prefer him to play alongside another striker though, be it Colak or another centre-forward. Sakala should stay on either "wing"/left-right-sided-attack-slot/however you want to call it. Hearts will sure want some hard cash, but 3-4m should be enough. So far, we have done well in the free-transfer market and there are enough strikers at the end of their contracts too, this list is just the 23-30 year old age bracket. Still, someone who knows the way about in Scotland might be a reasonable shout.

Ross County make an outrageous comeback in the not-at-all cagey playoff against Thistle. 3 goals down with 20 minutes to play, and end up winning on pens.

Hope cheer up stevie clarke gets it.

He'd be aswell pissing his money against a wall.

No. we we’re linked with Cyril Dessers of cremonese recently he cost them 5.5 a loan to buy at a discount for him could be on the cards as they got relegated this year.

Oh yeah I like his profile, physically and what he's put down over the last few seasons. It's interesting if we do bite the bullet on this, it's a signal of intent from the new board which the fans would back. If he scores goals that gets us to the UCL and a league title it's brilliant business, if not then it's a lot. Just got to trust the manager and staff doing their due diligence.

I would snatch any decent offer from whatever hand I could find. Kamara is the classic example of dead wood that should have been moved on a couple of years ago after 55.

I got my MyGers welcome pack through the door this morning. It comes with a nice picture frame for my picture of Josh Windass, which sits on my bedside table.

Maybe Frankie you shoud have applied the BC tag to any poty awards ie Before Cantwell !! 😁

This once but never again, Uilleam.

Well, mebbes aye, mebbes naw... I am told, from close, and closed, sources that there will be two 'marquee' loan signings (there is a first time for everything, clearly): Fred from Man Utd, and Said Benrahma from West Ham. These deals will enable Michael Beale to field: Wright Said Fred next season.

I prefer Hagi, Hagi Wright, Wright

For me half a season, no matter how good you are, doesn't qualify for POTY. This is about making the biggest contribution across the entire season, not about who turned in the best performance on certain match days. Certain players just seem to make the team perform better when they're on the park, while others tend to stand out as individuals. On that basis I think the contenders are probably Tavernier, Goldson, Jack, Lundstram, Tillman and Sakala with a short list of Tav, Jack and Tillman.

European football used to be fun and I guess it still is if you are winning. Distorted finances in the game echo society in general. So much of the money flow has gone to the few at the top that lucky clubs below that level line up (in the CL groups) like whores to be fcuked, but well paid. I increasingly struggle to maintain interest. Favourable August headlines are now about earning XXmillion pounds for CL qualification. I preferred it when it was more about the football. An article on why Davie Cooper playing tennis throughout the summer had helped him hit the ground running in the new season.
