  • Maybe exaggerating but he definitely isn't nearly good enough for a play off push. I'll be worried if we have to lean on him for the rest of the season.

    Do not be worried, we will continue to flounder mid table. Our next four games do not look promising for a start.
    It must be great to be so optimistic...
    Behave yourself.

    Please tell me where there can be any optimism with our club whilst these clowns are in charge.

    We were all happy to see the match day 16 Saturday, if felt like we were finally getting a bit of strength back into the lineup. But the injury to Big Mag has ruined that. Still think we need another forward and to offload Ajose or give him the time, plus another central midfielder.

    Once again under Duchatelet and Meire our thin squad has been exposed. Nothing has changed.

    Cyril is very protective of our home grown players even if they are deserving of criticism and probably pro regime so unlikely that she will be signing up to WAR but hey ho it's each to their own.

    If Robinson can cajole Novak into getting fit I think he's a decent fill in for Magennis.
    I can't quite work out exactly what we need in the window. Cover for Solly? A number 10 perhaps? In fact definitely if Ajose is on his way out.

    If Watt has a role in this team, it will surely be as Number 10, as he can't play as Number 9, and he's not a winger either

    When big Mac went off, I think Ajose would have benefited as there were several balls played in low and Watt had gone deep. Lookman starting today and you do wonder if he would have made the difference. Oh well.

    Was there any truth in the potential swap of Ajose for Ched Evans?

    The return of Watt has complicated things.
    Robinsons instinct to subject Watt to a spartan tear invoking regime, and then maybe he might make the bench was right. Then watt turns up and says if he had played it would have been 6 against Bristol Rovers and lo and behold Robinson includes him ahead of Hanlan and KAG and Umerah.
    In my view Robinson should've stuck to his guns and made Watt cry with training pain, and demanded that Watt proves himself worthy to be picked notwithstanding his innate ability.

    To me both Watt and Holmes were rushed into the squad to make the bench look "strong" on paper, and maybe give the crowd a life

    As I thought, Tony Watt can not play for another club this season, so he won't be sold.

    Fifa, rules and regulations on the registration of players, article 5:

    3. Players may be registered with a maximum of three clubs during
    one season. During this period, the player is only eligible to play
    official matches for two clubs
    . As an exception to this rule, a player
    moving between two clubs belonging to associations with overlapping
    seasons

    Cyril is very protective of our home grown players even if they are deserving of criticism and probably pro regime so unlikely that she will be signing up to WAR but hey ho it's each to their own.
    If Cyril is pro regime then his comments

    It's not about the football, that has been irrelevant for a long time.

    There's a good young striker at Everton we may be able to get on loan.

    Probably about time we closed this thread isn't it? I know it'd be a couple of weeks early but it is already the complete transfer rumours thread.

    Actual transfer rumours - check.
    People not posting rumours, but just posting names of players they'd like but we have no chance of signing - check.
    Signing made that no one posted a rumour about - check.
    Thread gone off on half a dozen tangents - check.
    Half a page of puns about the name of a potential signing - check.
    You tube clip of potential signing with looped euro dance music backing track - check.
    Best player sold - check.
    People complaining about thread going off on tangents and asking for the thread title to be changed - check.
    Source/sauce (red/brown) joke posted - check.
    It's happening gif - check.

    Think this thread has gone as far as it can with us, we should let it move on to a new challenge and bring another one through off the production line.

    spoke to Magennis after the match & he reckons he will only be out for a few weeks as it is only a sprain #HopeSo

    Elfsborg, if you hate it that much why don't you support someone else? They aren't going anywhere for the time being and your constant negativity is pretty boring!

    We need a relieved response for things like this.
