That was a lovely move. Another poor shot, although the angle is against him.

At least Kamara took a shot at goal, there.

It was a good start, but we're not playing well. We're struggling to play through them.

Erm... I turned away from the screen for a second--what happened? Another gift. FFS.

Ugh. Gift.

That was a lovely counter-attack. Poor finish from Arfield, though.

We're fairly getting through the song-book!

We're struggling to play through the thirds.

Mwahahahaha!

Why are there no PL games this weekend?

I was thinking the same, but considering the conditions and the opponents, I think Arfield is the right option.

There are a few complaints about Itten starting over Sakala. I don't see Sakala as a striker; he's a wide-man. Roofe is still easing himself back. Moreover, considering the conditions, we need some physical lads in there, so Itten seems like the clear choice to me.

I thought Balogun was back?

Ooft! Kent on the left, Diallo on the right, with Ced the Ted up top! Nice. It looks like a single #6 in Kamara, with two #8s for this one.

It's alright--Big Ced the Ted will bail us out...

Looks like Lampard is going to be appointed the next Everton manager.

Horrible conditions today...

Even if Man City slip-up, there, he's still not going to come to us.

I've been sleeping in this window. It has just occurred to me: we've signed Souttar, Sands and Diallo, with McAtee potentially to follow. Coming into this window we were saying, 'we're short at the back, we need a RW and another creative option in midfield'. Sands solves the issue at the back, with Souttar possibly a longer-term 'replacement' for Goldson, which are both good moves. We filled the RW issue yesterday, with a good prospect in Diallo; a fast, tricky winger. We've now got three days to maybe add a creative option in midfield. And, we've spent bugger-all! That's pretty solid business.

McAtee is another top quality prospect. However, I don't really want us to be signing loan players that we have no hope of signing permanently. On the other hand, we're potentially strengthening the squad short-term with little outlay. Will it be enough, is the question?

Ross County 0 - 1 Rangers FGS Diallo

£37.2M*

SSN now reporting our loan move for Diallo.

"No option to buy"! No sh*t! He's worth £20M+!

Knocked out on penalties by Egypt. He didn't make the tournament squad, but he had just made his debut in the qualifiers. He's got Pepe, Gradel, Boga and Zaha ahead of him, though.
