What's wrong with it Rico? I don't see what is unfair about Aberdeen.

He's been a late sub in Millwall's last two games so with two weeks training he'll be fine for an hour at least.

I know. But I had a moment. (Gonna suggest it again after the Livingston game)

Here me out (bear in mind I'm drunk on happiness). Turn Keskinen into a box to box midfielder. Karlsson, Nisbet and Milanovic as the sensational front three, Aouchiche pulling the strings, Clarkson pinging passes from deep. I might be willing to listen to counter arguments tomorrow. Edit: Actually it's a fucking stupid idea. I'm going to bed.

I think we might be in for some good news

No that was at 18:08. Since then the glorious "confirmed" announcement has been made in the live text.

Believe now the latest update is he's very much Hibs bound.

More just a continuation of Jimmy's normal style, but with an extra central defender instead of a Nilsen, and maybe Aouchiche/Clarkson partnering Palaversa/Polvara. I guess it depends on whether this promised box-to-box midfielder signs.

Strasbourg strengthening for their trip to Pittodrie with the signing of Chelsea's Ben Chilwell. He was on about 200k a week at Chelsea.

A point currently beIng debated on the ol' what's app. If Nilsen leaves, that would leave only Kjartansson as the defensive break your legs midfielder (Shinnie isn't a sitting midfielder, Clarkson and Palaversa can sit deep but wouldn't necessarily maim you). Does this mean that, when Gyamfi is fit, we may move towards a three at the back? A wee 3-4-3?

I mean, that's a fucking bargain like, even if there's add ons or we're covering his (likely) large salary.

A poster said I was living in cloud cuckoo land for suggesting this. Turns out we've paid less than that.

As are the BBC which makes it official. Delighted. He made our front line better last season, scored goals, won a trophy, and is the older head our young front 3/4 need.

Makhtar Gueye on loan from Blackburn is the rumours down in North England. Striker. Target man. Doesn't score much. Just how we like them.

And while we're at it, £25 for the Motherwell cup game is also a nonsense

Me too. To me, losing to Falkirk was the first real shock result of the season, and even then it was with 10 men after a first half when we should have had a lead. It's result that could happen to everyone. Hearts away, Celtic home, and the Romanian champions away are not worthy of throwing the toys out and demanding Thelin's head. Big September. Livi at home and the Motherwell double header. Win them all and we're motoring, in a semi final, and ready to conquer Europe.

Aye £30 is not reasonable. Our opponents will charge much less in all probability. We don't even need the money because we're getting a huge wad from Uefa too. It's greed, nothing less.

I would be fucking delighted with Scottish Cup winner Kevin Nisbet. We sign him and he's our number one striker, with Lazetic allowed to develop. Bring him home. The year is 2050 and Orlando Don suggests Allan Campbell and Mikey Johnston

Good luck to Shady Mo, but Luton can fuck off - making their move on the eve of a Europa League play-off. I know they're not used to playing in Europe so maybe didn't know it was happening, but was poor form. And their airport is shite.

Looks like Sokler going out on loan rumours could be true. Odd to start him on Thursday then ship him out a few days later (unless he requested it of course). On the other hand, Lazetic in the squad earlier than expected.

I don't think we have a Hibs thread, but these are terrific tears. https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/sport/football/hibs/hibs-uefa-conference-league-kasper-schmeichel-celtic-5293288

That bloke we were linked with from Girona has barely touched the ball in the Old Firm game. Only action of note was a dive in the box. Looks like we've dodged a bullet there...

Probably didn't help that my some of the rockets in our support on Twitter and AFC Chat lost the plot when Boyd allegedly liked a Rangers post.
