That's still quicker than getting Helander and Soutter back, potentially Goldson too

He cant come back until January when the window opens iirc

Prepare for Lundstram at LCB beside King and an empty midfield 🤦‍♀️

Talk Goldson out for minimum 4 months and Davies has a muscle injury being investigated.

One single win in the CL group stages make us more in prize money than winning a Scottish League cup or Scottish cup. I like winning cups but we need money.

Pointless.

Agree.

This is obvious, Parkhead was the same. Easter Road was the same. Not just in the CL. Something has triggered this. We put USG to bed in a great performance. Put a good PSV side away then as a team have just fizzled out.

100% agree mate, spot on and good post.

I note our captain yet again failed to do the post match press after a big defeat. Arfield done the RTV post match. You can set your watch by him hiding from the press after a bad loss. Its a small thing but it annoys me.

That is a good question. But then you could say the same for us last season. Dortmund and RBL have players worth more than our entire club.

You caught me, i was being deliberately facetious. With a hint of seriousness. Normally, yeah agree 100%. Having sold 2 players for about £28m - not sure. Very true, but (again I'm repeating myself) I think we are trying to paper over too many cracks with this squad and even a top manager would struggle.

But spending is contextual. No Norwegian club spends big. We are up against a direct rival who have heavily invested in thier playing squad. To expect the same results from someone else without similar squad investment isn't realistic to me.

How much we (dont) back our next manager. Who I have decided should be Allan McGregor. Give it Greigsy.

Julen Lopetegui is free 🤐

A great example of a team 'ending its cycle', losing some world class players and being rejuvenated by some real top recruitment. Yes they have spent a few million here and there but I believe much less than Ajax and Liverpool in the summer. Some shewed loan moves but overall top operating. Heads up to @Rousseau who called it at the draw tbh.

Lets wait and see.

I'd bite your hand off for that, the players are not playing for Gio that's been clear for a while. But Kjetil probably has a larger transfer budget where he is.

Not sure that fixes anything. The board decided this squad had enough left in the tank to get by and invested large sums in off field projects. This might increase the value and operating cash of the club long term but perhaps these types of projects are best carried out from a position of strength on the park. We have a big squad turnover job in the summer and unless we can plant a magic money tree in Edmiston house that will be a bargain hunt style window. Two of our biggest assets of the last generation are about to walk out the door for nothing in a few months. We have had David Graham leave recently, Barry Scott, rumours of a takeover, Dave King constant noise, downsizing of the recruitment and coaching side. Who would want to come?

Which one

He’s been anonymous all season sadly. Bar a free kick at Livingston.

Let’s be honest, many of us feared that was the case in the summer. Extending the contracts of older guys, hoping guys like Jack and Roofe could stay fit. Being relaxed about Kent and Morelos seeing out time. Holding on to Kamara when he clearly doesn’t want to be here. The goalkeeper situation. We are seeing it come to fruition in Europe. We have gotten by domestically but it’s a matter of time before it catches up with us given our schedule.

We play teams every week who have a financial gulf with us and we don’t often beat them 6-1. It’s definitely a big factor but we shouldn’t use it as the be all and end all. I don’t expect us to beat these teams but we should give a good account of ourselves. We had some great results last season in Europe and v PSV. It’s like that ability has just vanished all of a sudden.

In such a short space of time after this deal signed. It’s almost as if they knew..

I’m presuming you don’t mean Dave
