All Transfer Rumours and silly season stuff

If he achieves half of what BF achieved then he will be a successfull football player.

 

Hmmm. Half of what he achieved will be pretty disappointing I would think.

It went a bit sour for Fergie in the end, no doubting that. But at his peak he was one of the finest footballers Scotland has ever produced. It's not easy to look world class against Porto, Parma, Leverkusen, Dortmund etc.

A freebie, a near-freebie, and a loanie. Heck if we land Sandaza for 300k, we might get 4 players for next to nothing!

From today press conference (via RFC_Official twitter):

 

McCoist confirms that the club are bringing in Jaager on trial from Monday, admitting we are short on the right hand side due to injury.

 

The gaffer has also confirmed that the club has approached Fran Sandaza with regards to a pre-contract agreement & he spoke to Steve Lomas

 

McCoist says that he doesn't want to discuss any move for Sandaza this month as the clubs meet this weekend.

 

McCoist confirms there is no interest in Garry O'Connor from the club at present.

 

On Guerra, McCoist says that he is a player that the club have looked at and that he comes highly recommended. But no contact between clubs.

 

On @Afobe, McCoist says that he is currently injured, so there is no immediate interest in the player.

 

McCoist confirms there has been two bids for Edu, both being declined. The gaffer confirms that Edu is happy at #RFC after speaking to him.

 

McCoist on Jelavic: "No news. No bids. No enquiries. Nothing at all."

 

McCoist says that the club have been monitoring Mervan Celik for some time and he has impressed. He'd like to bring him to the club.

 

On Celik: an offer has been made to the agent and the player and he is waiting to hear back from them. Adding a move is "not imminent".

 

Summary: pre-contract offer to Sandaza | Jaager on trial | offer made to Celik | no O'Connor interest | nothing on @Afobe | no Jela bids.

I guess we are short of experienced cover with Broadfoot injured now as well. However, McMillan has looked capable enough to me and Bartley can also play there so not sure why we need Jaager.

Mervan Celik? Anyone know how his surname is pronounced. LOL!

 

Imagine timmy turning on the radio just in time to hear "....what a goal by Celik"

Getting players in is all fine and well but you need to play them. Don't want a repeat of the Kerkar, Bedoya, Ortiz and McKay fiasco personally. Apart from the defenders McCoist signed in the summer his signings have so far been uninspiring to say the least.

I think we can put that down to most of them not being his first choice if indeed his choice at all.
