Guest Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Would take ian black in a minute. Taking personal animosity out the equation, if you want ball winning tenacity in the middle to feed it to our proliferation of wingers and strikers, Mr Black ain't too bad an option... ^^^ Judgement privileges removed.

ONeils40yarder Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 I'd prefer to stick with Lasley than turn to Ian Black, and I'm far from being a Lasley fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 None of Ripley, Fletcher, Moult, Kennedy or Taylor's names were mentioned in any rumours. It's how we roll. Be surprised if that changes for any further signings today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelman1991 Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Just been watching Sky Sports News in depth comparison of Virgil Van Dijk - it's like a high tech 'Match Attax' (Strength, speed, tackles won stats etc).

Onthefringes Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Somehow I don't think all our business will be concluded today... Definitely 2 un-named Dutch free transfers arriving prior to the sHamilton Accies match. Ex-Nijmegen, they were on trial with us in the summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burn_Broomfield Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 2 Dutch players coming back so both parties can decide whether the move is right. A Midfielder and a full back who were on trial with us during the training camp and impressed, but were more keen to try and tie something up in The Netherlands first. No rush to conclude anything though, so it could even be up to the Accies game before they are seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desp Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Unreal Also, the BBC Sport website (on their rolling transfer deadline day newsfeed) they have a "Football Manager computer game expert". This is what he had to say on Chelsea's rumoured signing Papy Djilobodji... "Physically strong and good in the air, this limited defender is not exactly a marquee signing and is rated by FM as being no more than a good Championship level player with little scope for improvement. He’s valued at just over £1m and can be bought from Nantes for little over that. In my longest save, he never leaves the French club and never averages over 7.00 in a season, suggesting that Chelsea’s mooted purchase is a little panicky." Absolutely bizarre stuff.

StAndrew7 Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 This Football Manager chat is absolutely dire; I can't believe the Beeb would even entertain it. I understand Sky jumping on it for sponsorship but it's absolute nonsense. I remember thinking the same last year when there was a guy live blogging signings using Fifa stats as his benchmarks for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infamous Wee Grafter Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Just had my shoes polished by Johnny and he's confident about signing two Dutch lads - he seemed to suggest that Van Der Gaag linked. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No rush to conclude anything though, so it could even be up to the Accies game before they are seen.Just a question. If they're free agents, why aren't we bringing them in now? Cynical part of me says it's the players holding off to see if something better comes up. Surely better to get them in now and have two weeks training with the team before the next game..? EDIT Just re-read your post. I see now they're coming on trial.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orange county dosser Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Heard similar on the Dutch trialists, but I heard one was a striker ?? Maybe I picked it up wrong. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
something else Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Speaking to one of younger players in the summer, one of the dutch lads looked a class act whilst on trial, and it was thought he'd been snapped up by another club.

weeyin Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Kevin McHattie released by hearts, anyone? It sounds like we already have our targets lined up - I doubt we'll be picking up anyone released today (unless it was previously arranged).
