I donāt buy that argument. The trillions brought in on foreign trade more than cover that, plus weāre most likely getting a tax refund later this year. inflation in December was at 2.7%, the lowest since 2020 pre COVID.
-
Thatās the frustrating part about our league (yes, this was the cup and lower league today). Add 3-4 good players to our squad and a decent coach, anyone beats anyone. Top 3-4 easily within reach.
-
Could we afford him? Fee and wages? Our best left back in a while. And heās only 28. I get this āplayer trading modelā but brings experience, knowledge of the league, and maybe leadership?? this iād get, Cameron I donāt.
-
I also want to add we assume the club is stupid or made a mistake. Itās how most of us feel. Perhaps there is a buy agreement, whether in writing or a gentlemenās handshake. Lutz has relationships with rohl and someone else on staff, perhaps thereās more to it? what equally confuses me is that he plays a position we donāt need. He may be better than Armstrong Clarkson polvara Shinnie Marshall or any central mid, but more questions than answers as there are certainly other priorities.
-
I hope he doesnāt. Itās a really bizarre signing if thereās no buy option, but the lad is just coming to play football and we all want the dons to succeed. As mentioned, really poor optics, would love an explanation if thereās no buy option. Now, if we sign welsh for 6 months with no buy option then weāve lost the plot. perhaps better options are available when we have a manager, or in the summer, but uncomfortable times at present.
-
Are we certain there is no option to buy?
-
Haha. Guess my post was cold! None of the players āleavingā although am I wrong in the typo??
-
This is progress. Players moving on. Worst case, like Vinny, itās another loan, but itās some money off the books. We need to move players on from our badly bloated squad. i know there is frustration with the lack of players coming in, but I he we have to create some space/funds too. none of the players living are good enough, regardless of poor quality we have in our first 11. Cameron is an odd one, we have Clarkson Armstrong and Marshall all playing that position. Not really what we need. Certainly not a lot without the option. Would prefer Marshall got an opportunity to be honest.

Seen very few of the marvel movies, just not into comic book crap. Saying that, I did like the first iron man with Robert Downey jnr, but watched little to none of the others. Never got into Batman Spider-Man and the likes, watched very few of those, but I did watch and like the Christian Bale Batman films. A little darker, not so cheesy. Be curious to see if my opinion changes as my kids grow up and I may see some of these with them. since I mentioned Downey jnr, I did like tropic thunder. Like the tom cruise character. Having lived in LA an dealt with some Hollywood folks, quite a normal person!
-
I think if welsh went to Motherwell he was wanting to get regular playing time. Going back to Celtic as injury cover until they are healthy or sign someone better may not be his ideal, time will tell!
-
I highly doubt welsh is being recalled to play for Celtic. Theyāve had him for years and know exactly what he is. Makes no sense for a temp manager to recall and play him.
-
He was far from perfect, but I thought gyamfi had one of his better games.
-
We were on a good run but that key six game stretch, one point.
-
Maybe shinnie, but other than that zero leadership out there. We look lost.
-
We have absolutely no clue what to do in the final third. wtf do we doing training.
-
Iād argue they targeted milanovic. Now bilalovic. Devlin gets an over load cos milanovic canāt defend.
-
Itās such a difficult game with no width. Couple of devlin runs but other than that, weāre so easy to play against. Hard to stretch a team and create when itās inside and central most of the time.
-
Another wank game. Change thinks asap please. New manager needed a structure/guidance. Depressing stuff.
-
Karlsson off, please remove milanovic too, neither wide man has contributed, and they are guts to creating. Bilalovic asap!
-
Unfortunate to be behind. pretty blah first half, think weāve had more of the ball but done little with it. Very on rangers like, they donāt have the arrogance or swagger of prior rangers team. Give it a go in the second, no cheap goals, and get chances. milaovic has done little, prefer bilalovic, same with polvara, Armstrong or adil for him.
-
Lucky break. So disappointing to be down, not a bad start but highlighting how weak we are from crosses and set plays.
-
Could be a foul, his arms hit mitov.
-
First one not overly a howler. Second one is. Ffs.
-
Yup, back 4. Polvara in midfield.
-
I think itās the Thelin formation, 3-4-2-1, simply milanovic and karlsson behind lazetic. surprisingly optimistic, maybe a milanovic coming out party?? 2-1, milanovic and lazetic
