Your recollection about Jack and Kamara not making forward passes is definitely wrong TB

In a way, yes.

The only games this would happen in Scotland would be the OF games - Jones got his fair chance in Europe so SG clearly saw where his potential was. I have a tad more info on this privately which makes me not very surprised at all that he is being allowed to leave.

He isnt a striker - his competition would be Kent, Barker, Hagi etc

I’d be absolutely certain that SG couldn’t give two shits for the scenario you painted if the player in question was performing better than everyone else each week. Loyalty in football is pretty much dead. Has been for years.

I’m pretty sure it was. At the time I didn’t think so either but on replays I thought it was.

As Mack says, it was a corner kick so cant really go down as a miss.

They will be working a list if possible options. They would have been working it prior to Defoe’s injury. However, with Morelos now seemingly going and bringing in August if I can’t funds it may actually change that list of possible options and give us the opportunity to get a higher quality. The club have known about the Lille bid for a few days so they won’t be surprised by it - but the sales price may move the target lost higher in terms of value.

No, they don’t know who the replacement is and they don’t know the price. I have that on very good authority. They we’re already looking at strikers before the Defoe injury anyway so they will have a list. But they don’t know who they will be signing.... yet.

None of which makes the £1 mill we paid for him relevant. We could also pay £5 mill and get someone better..... but the £1 mill is still irrelevant... what is relevant is trying to replace him with what we get for him..

The £1 mill fee we paid for him is irrelevant. It’s what we can get for the cash we receive for him.

Yep, and another way to look at it is Alfie always seems to hit a barren spell during a season.... hopefully this is his barren spell for this season and he goes between now and May in a very rich vein of form.

I’ve said the same ever since I saw him for the first time before we were even linked. Saw him playing for Charlton in the play off final and he was head and shoulders above everyone else. Now in his second season for us, and remembering he’s still a young guy, he could be our most influential player this season

His strength was always noticeable but yesterday it was his pace that stunned me. For such a hulk of a guy he can move. The boy is FAST. Completely agree.... could easily be our best defender by a country mile - a wee bit better decision making and clean up on the little mistakes and we’ve won a watch with this boy !

Strange though it sounds, Morelos’ barren stint in front of goal is actually a good thing IMO. Having scored 10 and none of them coming from Morelos it suggests that the other players are ready to contribute goals this season. if that happens and Morelos then hits a bit of form again we could be lethal.

2-0 Goldson

I said this the other night.... this boy could be MASSIVE for us this season !

1-0 Aribo

I think we are decent value at 2/1 in a 2 horse race

From someone who has the thinnest (sic) skin I have EVER seen from a (supposed) comedian. She blocks absolutely everyone that thinks differently to her - and she has the hypocrisy to call Boris a coward ? She's an absolute fucking weapon that woman.

Thats actually a bit of a change in narrative from Morelos - in a good sense too

Aye, welcome aboard mini McMinn

ASIL and his 2,999 socialist twitter accounts he's created ?

The 3rd goal of the night was the best by far. I thought Aribo was outstanding tonight.

A youth team against Dundee Utd's first team ? No, I don't think it is an appalling result. It was 1-1 at half time which isnt bad at all for youths against a team that just won the Championship. Some fans need to temper expectations from what is essentially a youth team.
