Players often have a relegation release clause too, which no doubt helps. Talking earlier about the U19 trialist striker - if he's anything like that 17 year old playing for Aston Villa tonight we should get him signed up! That Villa guy is an absolute unit.

All the Premier Sports Cup games are shown by them I think, somewhere or other on their platform(s). Think we are streaming on the Premier Player on Sun.

HJK on solidsport stream about £12 maybe less. Don’t know about Stenny game.

Not moved for TV, moved because we're playing on Thursday...

Ainsworth another one that could hit the ball hard...

True........😢😢

Is this game on Premier Sports? I bought a month subscription to see the HB game. I thought at the time I would get the Stenny game for my £17.99. I don't see it listed anywhere.

Yes, seems like more than a coincidence. Surely makes probably easier to deal with both club and player. Them to reduce wage bill and him to step back up.

Caught my eye that 3 of our 5 perm signings came from clubs relegated last season - wonder if that’s partly how we landed them - or perhaps just a coincidence

We don't need to try and replace Eli. We "just" need to build an effective midfield that works with Alfred's preferred style. Last season's midfield was different from the midfield that had Miller and Spittal, but it turned out OK.

It's difficult to tell when nobody ever laughs...

I was only joking about Philliben

Aye I was thinking more along the lines of Darren Randolph, Shaun Hutchison, Lionel Ainsworth etc etc

This is why I think Just is much harder to replace than Watt. While Just catches the eye as an attacking mid who can score as well, his defensive mid qualities were just as good or better. His work rate, closing down and pressing players, winning tackles and making interceptions made him like getting 2 Players in one. However, If Hodge turns out to be as good as suggested he should still be a great signing for us.

Even if we don’t get past HJK it would be good to let Fadinger and/or Priestman get at least a partial rest.

Crazy to think that "retired former player" could easily be Jon Obika. The likes of Arnott, Philliben, Martin etc are all well past the age of being able to take part I'd imagine.

62. And wee Dougie Arnott is 65.

He will be an old fella now...

Big Philliben must be first on list, he was awesome in the tournament with hardest shot about

Maybe not a stick on, but Id certainly expect some extended minutes, especially if we are successful against Helsinki and have Freiburg the following Thursday. We will definitely need to rotate a little and keep legs fresh. Hopefully Hodge can also start as we cant keep asking Fadinger and Priestmann to play every minute. Rotating one of them out to start for continuity and then swapping at half time would make sense.

So spoke to my neices boyfriend who is a Huddersfield Town fan. Hodge played 27 games for them season before last. He said, Hodge is a very good player, quick on his feet. Very good defensive midfielder in the "Kante style". So the comparisons with Wee Al, are right enough! 😉😉😉

Oh absolutely! If we dont have any academy graduates in that position, stealing one from Airdrie would not only be great craic, but a wise move. Would still like a more "oven ready" striker as well though. We could have "oven ready", Eythor and youth stiker vying for the central role and covering each other. Stama can be loaned back to A League to see out his contract and JT can play wide in his favoured pisition until someone re-ignites interest in him.
