I suppose the benefit of having a backup like Long is that Wright could be third choice, but still be picked for cup games ahead of the more senior 2nd choice.

I think he means defensive negotiations in as much as negotiating incoming bids for our players and either fending them off or getting an extortionate amount of money, not literally negotiations for defensive players.

I fully agree on Edozie, I think if you give him those 38 games then he ends up in double figures for goals and assists. Maybe that should be the answer - give Edozie the starting spot and let Fellows find his form without the pressure that comes with being first choice.

What's the general feeling about Fellows on here? 38 games, 0 goals, 5 assists. For me it's a clear position that requires upgrading. He just doesn't affect games enough even with two strikers who he should thrive when feeding.

You're forgetting how good he is at PowerPoint presentations. Wasn't even in the running at Rangers until he put on a little show for them.

Difficult to turn it on consistently when you play so inconsistently.

But prior to them taking over those young signings were complemented with older experienced players.

I think it wasn't so much learning that, but learning that they aren't as smart as they think they are. They probably genuinely believed they could consistently unearth young talent that would turn a profit for the club.

Yeah I agree, if we didn't have Larin i'd be more concerned. As is I reckon we can find a solid backup to Larin.

Again, he's nearing the end of his career and if he has the chance to play at a higher level, potentially even winning trophies and playing in Europe up in Scotland, I really wouldn't blame him for taking it.

As well as this having read the above, it sounds like we left it so late to trigger his extension because we were only going to do that if we stayed down...so not sure he'll feel like he owes us too much if we were planning on letting him go upon promotion.

I agree he is, but it's a short career and he's nearing the end of it. He won't turn down the opportunity to win trophies and play in europe.

He won't sign, I reckon he's off to one of the Old Firm.

How many Schlongs is that?

Maybe I'm reading too much into it but I think there may be a third announcement coming, as the videos have a shirt for Larin and Peretz and then a third one that hasn't been turned round yet.

Season ticket announcement will follow this immediately you'd have thought, capitalise on people buzzing from this news.

Holy shit.

I personally think that this is the most earth shattering, history altering transfer since Helen went from Sparta to Troy.

Was thinking the same thing. Might trigger a feeling among some of them of wanting to finish what the group started, being all in it together.

Seriously doubt they can afford a fee. Maybe we can say take him on a free but we get £10million if you make it back to the Prem with him in your team?

Confirmed, four year deal, fucking get in.

Genuinely one of the best signings we've made in years.

Bit of a premature thing to say, I'm not going to be allowing myself to think that till we actually sell the bloke.

He's never going to side with the EFL, on anything. He hates them.

If they really want to get the fan base fully back inside they need to make some big statements through actions now, Stewart and Bree extended, Larin and Peretz signed.
