Fergie79 Posted Sunday at 02:08 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 02:08 PM Our transfer Windows are usually more miss than hit but our summer 2025 transfer window must be by far and away our best one ever. Considering that also included our new manager coming in who has been nothing short of exceptional and Wimmer's one and only signing also being superb it's hard to think how it can be beaten. To think we also managed to make our biggest ever sale and replace with a few players now worth over a £million in the squad it genuinely beggars belief how good that window has turned out to be. It should turn out to be genuinely transformational for our club and stand us in good stead for years to come. The board also deserve massive credit for this. Must be in contention for not just our but possibly even the league's best transfer window by a club? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wellsince1976 Posted Sunday at 02:48 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 02:48 PM Shocking. I feel really sorry for him, but apparently if Celtic don`t respond by tomorrow, we go elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mio Posted Sunday at 02:55 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 02:55 PM He is a Celtic player at the end of the day and they can do what they want with him but it must leave a bad taste is his mouth. He’s been doing really well with us, enjoying his football and has actively tried to move on and get games instead of being content sitting on the bench and picking up a wage. He’s now recalled to sit in his house and watch the game on his telly. Just seems petty from Celtic. in some ways it might end up good for us as he may have a bit extra between his teeth to do well if he comes back to us.

purestate Posted Sunday at 03:02 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 03:02 PM Agree that he’s Celtics player to dictate situation however either this means SW is back with us mon or Tuesday at latest or confirms suspicion that MON’s loveable grandpa act is just that and he’s screwing both us and Welsh over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t understand what Celtic get out of screwing him around like this. Playing him against a junior side and then taking him off (when he was their best defender) after 60mins did strike me as being quite petty. you never know though and we don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes. Maybe he’s not been giving a toss in training and made his feelings known he wasn’t happy at being recalled. Who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orinoco Posted Sunday at 04:01 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 04:01 PM They are probably in the huff because we told them to bolt with their offer for JT. For all their money Celtic are a poor team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would’ve agreed but MO’N came out and said “I’m stepping in here” with the January window and presumably he does pick the matchday squad. Either way I think we should move on if not sorted early next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mio Posted Sunday at 04:36 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 04:36 PM Well I think we can kiss goodbye to Stephen Welsh. Tierney off injured again and Trusty sent off. maybe it’s for the best we look at a permanent signing anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texanwellfan Posted Sunday at 05:58 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 05:58 PM For me plan A was get an another CB AND get Welsh back. So Continue with plan A amd see what we can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Continue with plan A amd see what we can get. We've already got 3 CBs in Mcginn, Mcghee and Gordon as well as SOD who he keeps playing there I think we need to bring in 1 more CB and a LB before the end of the window provided we keep Maswanhise, Just etc and aren't scrambling to replace them as well. (I know we've said we're not selling our best players but if we get offered big money for any of them there will be conversations being had.) Hopefully Nicholson and Halliday are back fit and can provide some depth especially Nicholson as we have no real depth in the RW/10 area and Jens seems to be impressed by him from what he's saying in press confrences.

wellfan Posted yesterday at 06:25 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 06:25 PM It’s wild how we’ve gone from an incompetent balloon like Kettlewell to a genuinely talented manager in JBA in such a short space of time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we were struggling and some of tge signings dubious it was Nick Daws fault. Now we are having success and he isn't mentioned. I would assume he spotted Maswanhise and Watt but not sure if he is involved with the Australian market 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume he spotted Maswanhise and Watt but not sure if he is involved with the Australian market Both Maswanhise and Watt were offered to the club by their agents. Watt said as much in an interview a few months ago and Halliday said on his podcast Maswanhise had been offered to us by his agent on the Saturday the season started so we arranged a friendly with Everton on the Tuesday in which we lost 6-0 but he impressed and we signed him the next week. To give Daws his due however our recruitment has been very good this season in which he will have played a part so does deserve praise.

That's my point he was getting pelters past few years but is rarely mentioned now...he must be doing something right Plenty of players must be touted by agents but somebody at club needs to do groundwork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main ones I'd be giving Daws his credit for are Preistman and Longelo who were defenitley recruitment team signing as I highly doubt Jens was watching the Australian League or Cambridge last season. The new ST is also a recruitment team recommendation so we'll see how he turns out but he looked decent on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
