Think it was specifically to support Igamane. If he’s away I reckon Hamza is for the off too.

Andy Newport who is usually accurate (even for the record)

Bottom line, not sure why so many supporters fail to realise this.

You can make deals any time. It’s just a registration window.

Players are cattle. Some need to be sent to market so we can afford new ones and maintain the rest. You cant always grow your own as we well know. Fans need to realise the game has changed. Random Moroccans and Belgians have no affinity with the club or the support. Its a job with a stepping stone to a another, better paid job.

Maybe you could use that to bring in newer players.

That was when we were higher up in the food chain. We could cherry pick the best stuff. We are now surviving off scraps.

Now is the perfect time to sell him. He will be 31 later this year and have 1 year of his contract left next summer. Getting our money back after 2 good years of Dessers is smart. We have to trust our recruitment process or there is no point in recruiting.

Heard the player wants to go, if that’s the case then sell. I think we need to buy 2/3 igamane or Jefte type players every summer. Obviously not all of them are going to work out like Hamza but it keeps the conveyor belt moving. Hamza and Jefte cost us about 2 million and 20k a week. Matondo cost us 2.8 and 28k per week. recruit smart.

I always thought PLG was a good appointment and given time would have got results. Of course I was wrong and this type of person had achieved success in France and good results in Europe, but didn't come equipped for Scottish football. And the school chairs on the touchline thing was also very odd.

Ridvan needs to be told he is done here and needs to go.

He will see this season out as captain, which I'm fine with. he is a good professional, works hard, never any bother in or around his personal life, a focused family man. A good role model for younger players. Always fit and available. A top player at his peak, he was unplayable at times and probably the most influential figure in our run to Seville. If we wants to see his time out here then I'm happy for him to do so, he has a contract and deserves it. Ideally I'd like his wages off the payroll but it is not going to happen. BUT He has clearly declined physically as a player, he should be used sparingly. The club should see this as an opportunity to bring in young RB with potential to share the season with him. That's up to our head coach and DoF. That's not on the player.

Even if it is half of that, I think he is still out of our reach. I don't see Southampton loaning out a guy who was pivotal to their promotion campaign last time. We need to find a Flynn Downes before someone values him at 16 million and pays him big bucks. As soon as that happens these guys are too much.

I'm not debating the quality of the guy, you think a guy that Southampton paid 16 million for last summer, and is probably on 70k a week is realistic target for us?

I don't know if Frank is successful at Brentford because he is good, or Brentford are. Kane and Lloris gone, Son going. Not sure Spurs have much in the way of top half of the table quality tbh. Hard ask for any manager without serious backing,
