Now that would be an intriguing prospect.

It is a highly rated Cameroon born ex French youth international who came through the Ajax ranks and was once bought by Juventus for £14M but got loaned out to the Italian third division and available to us for £800,000. Goal record to date is 14 in 248 games. Got options to sign for clubs all over Europe apparently but his dream was always to play in the Europa League qualifying rounds. Also went on holiday with Palaversa in 2017.

It is because curiously, fans buy into this myth that because we appoint someone from abroad or sign a foreign player, we will be getting something better than we can get from someone we already know about back home. Like goalies playing out from the back, centre halves who cannot head the ball away, inverted wingers, false nines, substitutions for the hell of it and Clarkson playing as a holding midfielder, it's all nonsense.

Surprised Thelin has not come in for more flak actually. If my maths is correct, after the initial new manager bounce, we took 22 points from 27 games (9th November onwards). Over that same time St Johnstone took 22 points playing 2 less games. Barry Robson got the P45 having taken 24 points from his last 21 games. The cup runs have papered over the cracks but we drew Queens Park (twice), Dunfermline, Elgin and Spartans. We would have had to lose against one of those not to have reached the semis of both cups. The team is powder puff. The defenders can't defend, the midfield too soft and the forward line not particularly potent - a horrific combination. All this despite replacing most of last season's players at a considerable cost (I would think maybe only three from Robson's last team will start against Celtic on Saturday).

Which part do you disagree with out of interest? I reckon we could all name a dozen or more players McInnes had in his Dons teams who would comfortably walk into this current squad….and a dozen is probably a conservative estimate.

So much bitterness towards McInnes by some in our support. He deserves a lot more respect for what he did for us. We were so bad before he arrived and just as crap in the years since. We had a team full of proper men under McInnes, now we have a team full of spineless foreign shite. Good luck to the bloke if he goes to Hearts. Best Dons manager in my lifetime by some considerable distance.

Guaranteed five as things stand I believe Al based on the coefficient. Plus the winner of the Europa league gets in as well. Looks feasible that England will have nine teams in Europe next season.

Looking at that list makes you realise what a strange season it has been. We started with a back four of MacKenzie, Devlin, Rubezic and Molloy and finishing with a four of Shinnie, Jensen, Knoester and Dorrington. The keepers have played half a season each. Shinnie playing a different position to where he started. Nilsen brilliant then shite. Clarkson shite then better. Morris in and out. Duk awol then a starter then sold. Devlin an international one minute then warming our bench! McGrath great then injured then away. Nisbet shite then great. And of course there is Ambrose .

I know we got a lot of dough in for Miovski and the rest but my god, we are fairly splashing it out on dodgy punts. If you believe the transfer market website, that's in excess of about £4M spent in the last couple of seasons. Lucky if you would be able to sell our entire squad for £400. We are like a littler version of Spurs when they got £85M for Bale.

It was not an insult, just a belief that what you say is not true. I really don't believe that the players would notice any significant difference between having 26,000 fans of each team in the stadium or 31,000 Celtic fans versus 21,000 of our own. I am not saying that it should not be a 50:50 split, just that it won't make any difference to the result. If it really made such a difference then our home record against them would be a lot better.

I don’t know why our fans place so much emphasis on the ticket split being such a great advantage. If you want proof of this just look at our record. At HOME, we have played Celtic 51 times since 2000/2001 and have won 5 of those games. Coincidentally we have also played them 51 times away in that period and have won 5 of those. If anyone really thinks a 60:40 ticket split for the final will make any difference to the result they are deluded. We might well win the final but the ticket split will make absolutely no difference to the result.

I cannot believe anyone at Brora would want the club to get into League Two. Apart from Elgin, who might even get promoted out of that league, every away game would be an 8 hour round trip. Not only very costly but would be extremely difficult to convince anyone to sign for them with all of that travel during a season.

Basically a Rangers reserve team. Should be winning this one.

Some result from Arsenal last night. Cannot make up my mind if Arteta is extremely lucky or a tactical genius as it was the first time in a while that I have seen Arsenal play. So many players to me looked like they were playing in the wrong position. The left back must have spent more than half the game in the centre of midfield, the wingers were each on their wrong foot, Odegaard was basically playing on the right touchline for half the game, Rice playing a left sided position and the guy playing up front was a midfielder. Bizarre tactics yet incredible outcome.
