Mckenna with Dinamo Zagreb and doing well. You say 5 strikers but bear in mind three of them are Dykes, Adams and Hirst!

The same wallopers that said Jens was going to parkheid. Have a good world cup and Eli will have plenty admirers

I dont think it's an English thing, I think he's gone with recency bias and decided in Fletcher because he was looking right at him when a decision had to be made, and allowed that to cloud his judgement. It absolutely should have been Miller that replaced Gilmour. On the original 26 he probably looked at Mcginn, Christie, mctominay, Gilmour, Ferguson and mclean as the main group, with the first 3 lilely being the starters. I'm fine with more strikers, you need potential impact players in tournaments. The squad has a fair mix of Scottish (at least 7), English, and abroad based players (Italy and Saudi at least, forgot where mckenna is playing), and also some relatively new call-ups in Curtis, Hyam and Fletcher, and while he has his favorites, i dont think that there's many legitimate shouts for guys that have been hard done by. I'm not as down on Clarke as most, but my gripe with him is the way we play, less than who he selects.

Because Clarke has a hard-on for anyone who plays south of the border? He'd probably take the guy who cuts the grass at the Etihad before he'd take someone like Miller to the tournament.

A remote medical from the NZ team's camp in San Diego? Even if he was going there - which I doubt - no way we'd set a price until after his World Cup is over.

Seen a number of the thick unwashed saying that Just has 'awredy hud a medacul' at parkheed......

Aye, because I genuinely believed that was how his name was spelled and wasn’t making a joke at the expense of the thick Celtic and Rangers fans.

I remember when McCall tried to sign Çiftçi he said Dundee Utd were offering double what we could afford. I don't know if they are still as generous, but I doubt when Tony Watt left us he moved there for footballing reasons.

Rangers, Celtic are monumentally bigger Aberdeen, Hearts and Hibs are massive in comparison to us. Utd act like they are, but not by much. Then its us and the other big 'provincial' clubs

Dundee United will be paying about 25% more than we do. However they are a financial basket case.

I don't know if I'd classify them as "much bigger", but I'm not sure we can say that we're bigger than Celtic, Rangers, Hearts, Hibs, Dundee United & Aberdeen. On crowd and budget, that collection right there should be the default top six. Granted, we rarely see a season where all six of them are on form and performing to their potential, which usually means one or two slip out of the top six, and that's where ourselves, St Mirren, Killie, Dundee etc can take advantage.

I suspect that Dundee United in general pay much more than us as well although I gather they've blown a fair amount so may be cutting back a bit...

I think Hibs, Hearts and Aberdeens budgets are considerably higher. Aberdeen had 3 players on >£20,000 a week and the average wage being £5000 a week, that's considerably more that Motherwell. Hibs and Hearts will pay similarly.

Your spellings shocking mate. 😂

Who are the 6 much bigger teams? I count 2 much bigger teams and 3 with bigger budgets but not massively bigger.

Anyone out by Wishaw Golf Club know if the helicopter has arrived yet? 😜😜😜

I admire your optimism that Clarke even watched that game. Although having an underwhelming game every week hasn't prevented Hanley and a few of his mates from being selected.

I welcome your insight into Serie A and it’s reassuring to hear that you have been impressed by him. For one reason or another however, Steve Clarke hasn’t. It was reported today that Clarke had a conversation with those at risk of missing out in the WC during the March camp. Lennon would have been one of those. That being the case his last chance to impress would have been at home to Cremonese, That day I was very underwhelmed by Miller and Udinese. I of course want him to reach the heights we all think he can and I’m gutted that he is missing out in the opportunity of a lifetime. Accounting for the period of adjustment in Italy, I am searching for reasons as to why i) Miller missed out on the original 26 at the expense of a 5th centre forward and ii) Fletcher impressed the coaching staff more in a few days than Miller has over several camps.

We've finished Top 6 in 45% of all the seasons played in this format. I think that's pretty good considering there are 6 much bigger teams and maybe another 4-5 similar sized teams.

Especially since they keep playing Dane Murray.

If there was ever a league that was AP's level it's that one. He scored 17 in 25 the season before he joined us and was in the A-League team of the year.

I still think he’s the best striker we have on the books. I don’t think he really wants to be here though so if we can get rid of him and pocket some money fair enough.

I doubt there was ever a chance that Sydney FC would have given us money for that useless twat. Thanks again Kettlewell.

Oh dear, just when we thought the club was progressing nicely, we get a swift boot in the gentlemans area and have to take that dud back. 😭

Yep, not a former player yet. Let's see what the new manager thinks of him.
