To be fair, why would they spend the money from the Tesco deal on a new TV gantry when they'll only have one or two games televised during but he season? Especially when they are probably contemplating giving some of the windfall back to some of the creditors from the last two admins as a goodwill gesture. Priorities nutjobs, priorities.

Do we know if his second knee injury was a reoccurrence of the first, or whether he was just unfortunate and had two unrelated knee injuries. Hopefully the latter. -

Cheers. From an English or non-English club? -
Their biggest game of the season and nowhere near a sellout. What's that all about?

Cheers. That'll be me misreading the SNP manifesto then. I thought that was one of the things they were ditching to pay for millionaires children to go to university for free -

I'm convinced they time these relatively obscure announcements just before a player signing announcement just to keep us on our toes.... -

Kick-off is 19:45 so eyes peeled at c.18:45 for team news. So, if he's not in the squad that means he was either having a medical 'down south' and couldn't get back in time, or is injured. Whereas, if he's in the squad that means either he didn't have a medical 'down south' today, or he did have a medical and managed to fly back in time for the game. That'll be conclusive then.... -

Indeed. I'm starting to get a little tingle of excitement in my loins* again (*too much information?) -

Was thinking the same. Something like this as our strongest starting 11...? ----------- Steklenberg --------------- Cedric - Fonte - VvD (stc) - Bertrand ----- Romeu -------- Wanyama ------ -------------- Clasie ------------------- -- Mane -----------------Jrod/Tadic* -- -------------- Pelle --------------------- Bench (7 from 10): Gazza, Caulker, Yoshida, Martina, JWP, Davis, Reed, Juanmi, Long, Tadic/JRod* (*can't choose between these two) -

In that footage he stays so deep its almost like having a 3rd centre back. Defo suits our style. -

I would count 'having a medical today' as falling in the 'something in the offing' bracket, hence Peach saying that "nothing is in the offing" could imply that here wasn't a medical today, and therefore be at odds with SG's statement. That said, I appreciate I'm probably reading too much into the choice of words (just for once) and that they could equally be on the same hymn sheet. -

Would sound about right for a player in his situation -

So, who to believe? Peach or Grant? Edit: unless the club have asked Peach to put out that message as they are worried about the deal being hijacked by other clubs putting in a knee jerk counter bid if they get too much whiff of Saints being very close to sealing things? #morethinkingoutloudnonsensefromtrousers -

This edit: he fits the profile of the kind of player we target though.... young, bags of potential, champions league appearances, plenty of 'Under xx' appearances for Spain, hungry , etc. -

Maybe we should 'de-risk' the transaction by tabling a two-tier bid. Say, £500k over the asking price for an 'immediate' transfer. Enough to maybe tempt Celtic to put pen to paper straight away, but not an extortionate amount from our perspective in the general scheme of things. Dunno. Just thinking out loud, as ever.
