Any excuse to knock Shane Long's price tag.

Seconded.

Probably all that was needed to be said. As Faz says, I think the Les Reed interview surmises the clubs thoughts on Champions League.

What about Donald and Daffy?

The fact you feel the need to come onto another teams forum to tell us all this is sad.

12-14th, depending on Europa League

Would be pretty happy with Clasie, though as Charlie says I'd like to see another midfielder brought in as well in the same sort of mould as Vic. Don't think we will though

I gave my reasons in my post.... By your criteria why don't they try and get Zidane out of retirement?

Don't get why Utd want Schweinstieger (sp?) so much... Not exactly a signing with a long term view, on a downward trajectory and he's guna be on big wages (though I guess they can afford it!). Looks like they've been using Morgan in order to hurry this move through. I feel a bit for Morgan, but if it means we keep hold of him for another year then I'd take that

Tbf Les doesn't actually say that... He says they will be following bids up in next 48hours and aim to get something over the line as quickly as possible. Obviously if we haven't signed anyone by Monday then people will be calling for his head.

FWIW maybe what I heard isn't the same as Gemmel or Chewy, as it had nothing to do with which side he bats for!

I've not seen it on the Internet

Lol not sure why he's jumped on you GC?! What an odd person

I'd snap your hand off for 7th

Don't think it has anything to do with being homesick

I also heard something about Toby but immediately dismissed it as bullsh*t... If it is the same thing as both of you are alluding to, then this forum is definitely not the place for it

Might be good psychologically for him to play on a less than ideal pitch, gives the knee a good test and if he comes through hopefully he can crack on. You're right, he must be gagging to get out there

I vote you to take over.

It's a tricky one, obviously don't want any injuries but he's got to play sometime!

I nearly ran him over once... he walked out into the road opposite the red funnel entrance just as I was turning the corner. He did look rather unhappy and gave me some serious evils, wouldn't have messed with him that's for sure!

Has anyone actually watched Van Dijk? Other than in matches with Celtic wiping the floor against league 1 level opposition? Not saying he's pants, he may well be excellent.

Yep, that's exactly what he is saying.

Oh well, time to move on. Hope we have been speaking with other options whilst this has been going on, think we need to make a bit of a statement with the calibre of Toby's replacement.

Are you David Bence?

Someone like Dragovic would be exceptional, but probably out of our league Not that impressed with Martins Indi, plus as Clarkey says he settled at Porto so couldn't see him moving. Not seen a lot of Moreno, so will have to bow to other peoples superior knowledge on him Van Dijk would at least fill our one signing a season from Celtic quota!
