Agreed. At the same time, did we miss the boat with McKenna and fail to seek him at his most valuable. Even Barron, done nothing since the hype of last year. Again, I agree, losing Rama is a big deal and far from ideal timing, but also frees up funds to sign perhaps a more creative player, different from a Barron or shinnie. Remember, we signed Rama when we didn’t have shinnie. Not ideal but we should get solid money for Rama, opportunity to upgrade.

Hard one to assess, I’m going to assume Macdonald doesn’t make it. Purely a guess, but - roos milne slob mackenzie Shinnie barron devlin clarkson hayes duk miovski The strength and security of a team comes from the defense and I have no clue if our defense is any good. I’d say highest scoring team wins. 3-2 us, Duke miovski and ester

It’s a business plan to make us a more financially sound club. Ideally it takes us to the point where we don’t need to sell. This, along with developing and selling youth, is the only way for our club to survive.

Reading Michael hector’s recent comments, I think it’s very easy to fall in love with the club, fans, and city. We do a good job I’ll say. However, as has obviously been stated many times, if you have the opportunity to get a significant pay increase to give your family a better standard of living, that’s very hard to turn down. I’d say especially if you come from a poor ‘eastern block’ type country. Unlike clarkson, a youngster still early in his career, Rama is 27, time to make money! Sad to see him go but fond memories and good luck to him.

I think Rama is like willo flood, had his fans but also some didn’t rate him. I think rama does a job for us, we’ve just struggled for flair, creativity, and width and he does more than he should. Will be tough to replace.

I’ll give or dadia and Sokler time, more curious of polvara, Morris, and Mackenzie. Can they be contributors to our squad or back ups when we are desperate? Mackenzie has to step up now, it’s time and we need a left back/wing back (although signing scales solves that), plus both Morris and polvara play positions we don’t have real squad depth. Would really help the team and squad if all 3 come good, but that’s probably unrealistic. Certainly a little concerned too that we appear very reliant on a 35 yr old Hayes on the left side. Definitely need a left midfielder/winger.

Position? Defense or midfield?

Or Dadia getting a run? Curious to hear where he plays.

Who missed the penalty??

Interesting that for this game and last Stewart doesn’t start when we have no natural central defenders playing. I’m assuming he’s gone as soon as someone will take him.

devlin in the middle of defense between Milne and McKenzie, hayes and Morris as wing backs?

Little disappointed by the lack of activity given we’re just over a week until league starts. At the same time, good players will be in demand. Still think we’re missing at least one winger and a creative midfielder, any rumors other than scales and the Croatian defender??

So devlin or him playing on the left??

Little surprised we haven’t been linked with more wide players. Are we relying on wing backs? Very limited with wingers at present.

Right back or defensive midfielder according to transfermarket.com if that means anything. Not a bad squad player if true rather than a one position guy. This years Dom Ball??

So to be fair morris is 1/4 of that?

Wikipedia has Declan john as a left wing back? Is he our new left back option? Our new Hayden coulson? Or a central defender?

Not a fan of gold on a uniform, so not a fan. Disappointed as I liked the two that were listed a few days ago, we are red and white. I actually like the black though, is that our away strip for this year?? I buy one top a year, black one it is…..although is it unavailable in the club shop right now?

Feel a little differently. How’s been gone for a couple of years now. The emotion has gone long ago for me. He lost his mojo a while back and it’s a big wage freeing up some funds. He was great in his day and thankful for his service.

All quiet here, any signing rumors??? so what the Scottish player rule? We need at least 6 home players on a match squad??? Barron shinnie Mackenzie devlin Milne bavidge? I’d like Milne to be one of our back up holding mids/central defenders but bavidge really needs to go out on loan…

Jet from Gladiator. Big memory from college. Carry out of hampden lager, 40p a can, and drool over Jet before a night out in Edinburgh. The good old days!

Getting the shirt out early so you can do a preseason to fit in it??

Ramadani works his bollocks off for us, does a very good job. Makes mistakes but anyone would given the effort and involvement. I’d say similarities to Willo flood and Ryan jack in a sense, mixed opinions on the player but we’d see a big hole and would be missed when gone.

Yeah, I’ll get it, just a little shocked at the increase. As I said before, it’s my season ticket so can’t really complain and I watch as much as I can. Almost never get back to Scotland now, money, time, and priorities, can’t even tell you my last ‘in person’ game. it has definitely improved, adding rob McLean too is an expense I’m sure. The fact I had to search for this thread and the last post was sept 2020 tells you the grumbling had stopped and it’s a solid product.

Ha. The video clip of Williams and clarkson, clarkson looks like Danny DeVito!
