I guess this is another player like Rossiter and Dodoo where we only have to pay £250,000 for him as its cross border?

why would a player wear green football boots full stop

love that speech, gave me goosebumps the first couple of times I heard it....

Exactly the same as my thoughts

The fall would match that of his reputation..

Foderingham - 5 Tavernier - 6 Bates - 6 Cardoso - 7 Wallace - 5 Jack - 8 Holt - 6 Kranjcar - 9 Dalcio - 6 Waghorn - 5 Miller - 7 Subs : Candeis - 6 Rossiter - 6 Morelos - 5

I think his registration with the Turkish FA from his previous loan spell runs out on 30th June/1st July so I would guess either they have released his registration allowing him to play, or he will be available to play the second leg and has been added to the squad as the wildcard entry.. I orignally thought the wildcard was being held open for Dorrans/Walker but I guess now they don't see them joining in time...

He also stated 4 players would start before Candeias was added to the squad so that may change, however, I think if the chosen players have been aware they are playing since Monday, there is obviously a plan in place which i doubt he will want to change this close to the game.

Love that we have a Spanish speaking reporter in the press conference, followed world-wide even though its only QR1

I have a sneaky feeling that either Morelos or Herrera may start on Thursday, but, maybe thats just wishful thinking I can't be the only one whos excited about a defensive midfield partnership of Rossiter and Jack this season? although, thats probably jinxed them but heres hoping they can both stay fit and form a parternship Other than that, I think that line up is pretty nailed on, potential banana skin for making wholesale chanegs

This is the exact reason why I prefer the 'goal scoring chances created' stat to the 'assists stat' as only really the player in question can affect that stat whereas the other stat is dependent much more on other players

very true, he did miss the first few days/week of pre-season if i recall correctly?

I personally think Walker may actually be a better player for us than McKay... Don't get me wrong, I think McKay is more talented and has more potential, however, I just don't think he has the right mindset to realise that potential to its full extent.

Personally, I think McKay may be biding his time to try and see who shows interest and also where he fits in PC's plans in the first couple of Euro games...

Notice no Crooks as well (not that its surprising)

Can't buy tickets anymore....

By the sounds of it he's pretty much a stereotypical hold up/target man striker

Notice this line in the article... Sounds like a smart idea and very cost efficient...

That whole article just sounds like... "I want credit, I want credit, I want credit, "

I would be surprised if you don't see one or both of Pena and Herrera making a start. I get that they have only just joined and haven't played a game with the team but they will have a full week of training with the squad under their belt and seeing as we have only scored one goal in the last two games, that being an own goal too, I would think they would come into contention, especially as they are both supposedly goal scoring threats.... I think you are right about the youngsters though, its a shame but, for their development, its probably best if they do go out on loan, as long as its to a suitable team etc and they get good game time...

Couldn't really have asked for a much better start than that! Our first two games against what will probably be top half teams (Hearts and Hibs) are at home too No complaints from me Always nice for the first game of the season to be on your birthday
