  1. We need to show some ambition man fs! Athens now Levante and we r only a player or 2 short of 2nd place IMO, repay the fans and get the deals done, if not I agree with the boo the board post!!!

     

    The board that has kept us as one of the most financially stable clubs in the SPL?

     

    No boos from me.

  2. No, I don't think the club can be blamed if an agent or whoever leaks a story. I'm sure we have nicked players in the past, so we can't really complain too much. Hopefully, McCall still has one or two more options left that are still under wraps.

     

    Be funny if Stevenson is unveiled at Fir Park tomorrow, though,

  3. Another move, which if sounds in the press have to be believed, we have had positive steps on the football side, but the financial side is where we are falling down, which makes me wonder just how bad a state we are in.

     

    We haven't been able to compete with at least half the SPL for a number of years. We'll never be able to compete with Hearts financially. Even in their new frugal environment.

  4. did he actually have a medical before conclusion of contract talks? Also surely we as a club knew roughly what the player expected so youve got to wonder about our clubs negotiating skills. .

     

    I read we had agreed personal terms. But that means hee-haw if someone comes in after that and offers more.

  5. I'm always amazed when private deals suddenly become public knowledge. Either football is the only business in the world where people discuss their contract negotiations in the open (and don't mind them being shared on the internet), or these stories are just stories.

     

    I have no idea if he will end up with us or not, but I tend not to believe people that claim knowledge of the offers/deals etc.

  6. I assumed Leeane would also be out in Spain, not that it makes a huge difference really, it might just slow things up a bit.

     

    The reports yesterday said she was staying back to work on the deal.

     

    If you can believe the reports, of course.

  7. For the simple reason that we won't be able to meet his wage demands and there are other clubs out there who can.

     

    The reports I read said that personal terms had been agreed, so I imagine the includes the wage demands.

     

    Not to say it's a done deal, because these things are never 100%.

  8. A thought though. Were Ipswich not one of the teams someone posted (or perhaps it was on Twitter) further up the thread that were seemingly keen on Murph?

     

    2 + 2 = ?

     

    Might be. According to wiki, he signed an 18 month contract at Ipswich in January this year, and that would suggest a transfer fee would be required or some sort of deal needs to be made. Unless they are just wanting to offload him to clear the decks.

  9. Back page of the record this morning claims that Celtic are after the hump!! Apparently £200k will be enough to get him!!

    Back to the good old robbing bastard days!

     

    Celtic's bid for Johnny (2 million quid) Russell was 500k.

     

    I like Hump, but I think he would be bench warming with that crew.

  10. The problem we have now if we bring anyone in is, if they are permanant signings, they'll be free transfers. What have they been doing to keep themselves fit? If we sign McFadden - at least we know he's been training, and will only suffer from match sharpness - others may not have had the same opportunity to have facilities available to them.

     

    As for getting loan signings, it depends if anyone else would want them. Premiership/Championship side sends player on loan to us and get £0 for it or send to other Premiership/Championship/League 1 side and get a few hundred grand for their trouble. Really a no brainer.

     

    They also have the whole fact if it is a loan to another English side, they have an option of sending them for between 30-93 days without it adding to playing for another club if they choose to use him/sell him/loan him out again to another English club.

     

    All this plus English clubs can recall loan players at any time if they are at another English club. If they are in Scotland, they have to wait until the end of the loan period.

  11. Our failings weren't entirely tactical yesterday it was just that the entire midfield failed to perform on the day, that happens some times, it doesn't write off an entire tactical approach.

     

    I think this is a key point in any tactical discussion. You can have the best tactics in the world, but if the players don't execute, or are just off form, they won't work.
