Plus with Anton Rogan on penalties these days we have a chance! -
We need a number 10, how about David Turnbull at Cardiff. Just been relegated to league one, cost them around 2 million, will they be cost cutting? Loan to buy or buy outright?? Would be a million plus but we were considering a million for okkels. Good player, needed position, and Scottish! Not sure heād be ready to come back north but you never know.
-
totally agree, palaversa has a bite and physicality polvara does not appear to have and st mirren away isnāt going to be pretty.
-
Is it manc that lives down there? How does this guy and his reputation compare to the winger from last summer, and the reputation mcgarry had??
-
Donāt agree, I thought we played very well. You have to factor we were playing the on form team who have beaten Celtic and rangers, plus hearts and united, on their run too. Oh, and us. Not sure we could have done more. We were suspect from crosses/corners as usual and they had 3 headers they could have scored, but we dominated possession, created chances, were defensively solid, and did a good job keeping Boyle quiet. morris is back to me thinking heās our super sub, and gueye is not quick thinking enough. Both good to bring off the bench. Iād start okkels and McGrath next week, but with those two not here next year, I feel these are two legit āmustā signings this summer. Our main priority for sure, provided we sign nisbet! its a palaversa polvara dilemma for me. Clarkson is playing well and deserves to start. Palaversa isnāt playing badly, covers a lot of ground, and sits in. Does a defensive job. Although Clarkson is deep too and has done more recently defensively. Polvara definitely offers drive from midfield and is much more attack minded. Another good performance yesterday. Think he scored a similar goal against hibs last year too, was unlucky with his well worked chance. Is jimmy brave enough to go with Clarkson and polvara next week?

THE OFFICIAL: "LET'S ALL LAUGH AT HEARTS"

Pretty sure the unfair second yellow on devlin last week was the reason Dundee won today. -
Canāt find the āFerguson Must Stayā thread??
-
And more decent play from polvara, surely plays minutes every game now.
-
Deserved too, only one team played to win.
-
Good team performance but another strong game from dorrington and knoester. lovely goal, nisbet or going??
-
With okkels on and topi on a booking I would bring on devlin and move Jensen to right mid!
-
Morris off after 55 mins. He has influence, just rarely brings it when he starts. Donāt recall him beating his man or getting to the line once. Super sub is still best for him!
-
Plenty of the ball but all too slow. Hibs attack and move forward quicker, and certainly look more dangerous.
-
Gueye is a second or two too slow with absolutely everything! Very frustrating player! At the same time, he could easily grab a goal and lovely flick on at one point to topi.
-
Terrible comparison I know but topi reminds me of a young Ronaldo. He had no clue when to pass dribble or shoot when he first went to man utd. Hopefully topiās brain develops and we see end product because he works hard and sees plenty of the ball.
-
Summer transfer targets?
-
I think devlin and Jensen may be a good short term fix, Jensen tends to cut inside and devlin wide. At the same time, we have Morris and okkels so donāt see it happening unless we get injuries. Is milanovic on his way yet or close to a done deal, or is it media speculation/sensationalism??
-
Every week or was this just versus hearts??
-
Iād assume. I think we keep Morris and topi, vinnie, gueye, and okkels can move on. Morris and topi are young and growing, far from the finished product. Not having a dig at Connor, but anyone whom is not clearly better than Connor mclennan should not be here. We realized that standard for not being good enough and have replaced with mediocre. Add this guy is great, need one more legit winger after that (provided we punt the other 3.)
-
Pretty sure the program had a virus when it shot out Ambrose.
-
We signed mcgarry then lost out on the young winger last summer so clearly scout that market. Sounds like our kind of player at the moment, young up and comer with legit sell on potential, can play more than one position. Left/right footed?? appealing by the sound of things, hoping we also look at a couple of senior pros as we lack legit experience, plus as weāve already mentioned, some Scots.

Can they put out a statement saying Shankland should have been booked for his stamp/foul/late challenge on palaversa? You win some you lose some! -
Polvara offers something different, dare I say a lampard type who will get forward and get some goals too. He just doesnāt naturally fit into the current system. Heās not a deep lying Clarkson sivert or palaversa, and not really a number 10. Youād almost need to play one holding and two attacking mids with no 10 to accommodate polvara. Maybe Clarkson and polvara ahead of sivert?

Ha, I wouldnāt go that far! Hayes and mcginn were in their mid 20s and proven players, and close to the two best wingers in the league, topi and morris still young and inconsistent. But both have shown enough to stay, and thatās a reversal of opinion on Morris for me. Heās so quick and learning how to use his pace, whereas topi has pace and physicality and is suited to our league. Given their youth, Iād like us to sign a legit proven winger and itās two from those three weekly. we have a very bloated squad of average players, a bunch need to be moved on and a good few coming in this summer.
