Rumour that we're in for Lazio's Mussolini (and yes, he's Benito's grandson).  

Really want this one to happen.  😀

Don't think poachers are worthwhile in modern football.  A forward has to do a lot more.  

Just scoring goals isn't enough.  

The lady co-commentating on this match is painful to listen to.  75 minutes in and I don't think she's said anything remotely interesting.

If we sell Raskin, Igamane and Dessers, that could net us upwards of £20m.

I think there's a high chance we'll sell Igamane during this window.

Selling players will get us additional funds - that's how transfers work.

Why? He was our top scorer last season & we’ve just sold him. Do you know something we don’t about a replacement?

Because he's rubbish.  Danilo and Igamane are better forwards and the club will obviously be looking at other targets too.  

The whole squad needs overhauled.

I'm pretty certain we won't be signing Shankland.

Only on condition you bring back someone who can end up as top scorer in the SPL and represent equal value for money.

I'd happily swap a million top scorers in the SPL for league titles.  

I'll pay for Dessers' taxi to the airport, if that helps?

Remember Kevin Drinkell? Some fans called him 'Billy.'

Christ, loads of folk in the stands these days are called Liam and Aiden.  The game's a bogey! 

I blame daft women liking Irish names.  

I think Coady would do a decent job for us*.  Davies will surely be offski.  I'm really hoping Tav will have some new competition at RB, so will be used sparingly and if Martin wants good passers, he'll not want Jefte in the team.  

*first name red flag though

Fantastic to see the club finally rejecting those pesky value-for-money European signings in favour of the tried and tested method: overspending on Championship players

This is where appointing that Everton bloke and Martin concerns me.  Definitely has a more of the same kinda vibe.  

The English market is expensive and overrated.  Darling is also a stupid name, asking to be mocked.  

We should be looking at the Balkans and other leagues similar to our own.

Oh your back, missed you. 

I'd point out the obvious error but I'd just get a telling off, so will refrain. 

You're welcome.  😀

The new owners have been in 5mins and the transfer window is barely open and some are equating it to previous transfer windows under previous owners. 

 

Its as if the previous decade of mismanagement didn't happen and that the new owners should have fixed all the issues by now

Come Monday i hope the biscuit tin gets opened and we bring out the cheque book to start making signings 

I'm more hopeful we sell some duds, particularly Dessers and Propper.  New signings will come in time.  

I idolised Durrant when I was wee.  What happened to him put me off getting too connected to individual players.  

As for Lennon Miller, I don't think he's as good as he's made out to be and I reckon we can get better value midfielders elsewhere.  

If we were offered £15m for Raskin, I think we'd take it and I wouldn't have a problem with that.  

Every player has a price.  I'm sure our new owners and management are more sensible than recent incumbents and we'll get good fees, instead of holding on to players too long until they either leave for free or a pittance.  

I'd obviously like Raskin and Igamane to stick around because they look like they have what it takes but I won't lose any sleep if they get sold for several million.  I will probably lose some sleep if we don't sell Dessers.  

Surname red flags, just saying.

Surely getting emotionally attached to players is half of what football is all about?

I find emotional attachment to the club is sufficient for my stress levels.

Different owners, different set-up now though.  

Fingers crossed AEK meet our valuation very soon.

I'm starting a rumour that Naismith is the real managerial appointment

At least Pressley is out of the running.  Small mercies.
