Isn't it too late in terms of re-signing? he's on a long contract, no?.

Goldson is capable, I believe we'll see Lammers in a different light in the right set up, but I can't argue with any of the rest.

I'd rather have Frankie Howerd.

Calories in Calories out I thought was undeniable? Not sure genetics can can circumvent it but I admit I'm not an expert.
I'm no expert either tbh. Good discussion though.

I don't know that it's quite as simple as that SBG, can something as simple as a good diet overcome genetics in a short time? I'm sure there's been peer reviewed papers on this, worth a look. I'm of the opinion that what you eat from a baby until you're into your teens will have a far greater effect on you than all of a sudden just having a sports science approved diet.
There's probably plenty of players who prove that it can be done, Ronaldinho, Luis Diaz showed clear signs of malnutrition as youths, but have gone on to succeed.

Compare the size of McCausland to Lovelace or Bassey.
You can delve deeply into genetics and everything that goes with it, but even looking at boys football, at 7 or 8 years old, the kids that come from less salubrious area are generally still head and shoulders above the kids from better off families. They'll be the kids that are out kicking a ball outwith training and games, whereas the richer ones will only kick a ball with their team or training kit on.
However, these kids from less well off backgrounds will not have as good a diet, and there's every chance all of their previous generations will be the same, and they're also the kids that are most likely to end up with addiction issues.

There's definitely something in our psyche that means we seem to like to get off our tits more often than many other nations, I think there's many different societal factors in that, but even taking that out of the equation, there's still many cases of talents that don't make it, and many lesser talents that do.
Roy Aitken was a perfect example of that, not a very talented player at all, completely over achieved, but had something in terms of drive that facilitated it.

I think 10% mentality is too small a component John tbh, I think it's definitely higher.

Dragan Mladenovic was the Zidane of the Balkans, apparently.

I'm not saying I don't think he deserved to go, I just hate how many managers we've gone through in the last decade or so. I think hiring him was probably the issue, we need to get away from a manager being a massive punt, but more than anything I wanted to see him succeed.

Tbh it's pointless asking fans this, as we only see them on the field, when they're shit.
We don't get to see them looking awesome in training, or as youths.
I played amateur with a guy who was head and shoulders above anyone in our team in bounce or training games. He was superb, but for whatever reason it just never happened for him on a Saturday.

It does suggest we'll get a DoF.
Yup, that was my take on it. We may have one sorted already, and that's part of the attraction.

Muskie is a US name for a Pike, and as we know, they frequent the east end.

I've gone for Muscat, but tbh it's a flip of a coin between these two.

I'll struggle to pick one! Quite happy to have either now.

I wanted Clement from the start but lately I can't get Paul Le Guen out of my head and the Aussie is starting to grow on me. The fact is that no one will know for about a year if any choice was the right one.
Aye, I'm in the same boat tbh, its maybe the name, clement, reminds me of the Jeremy the sailor.
Muscat is becoming far more palatable than a couple of weeks back.

McCausland looks promising, some really nice touches and a very good awareness of those moving around him, great to see.
