I figured it’s about time to start this. I think there’s a very good chance that come January we’re bottom six and lost a cup semi. I’m expecting McKenna to be sold plus I do see both Shinnie and GMS moving on, possibly Shinnie doing a McLean returning on loan but I see GMS moving if we can get some cash. With Ross, Wright, McGinn, and McLelland, DM will see us as having ample cover.

 

Wouldn’t be surprised to see Gleeson and or Forrester punted too, those two haven’t worked out. Tough to argue otherwise. Tansey too. Honestly, the squad needs an overhaul, happy to see the young boys given a run and save any money from exports in January for transfers in the summer.

 

Think we’re also due an offer or two for Joe Lewis. Wouldn’t be surprised to see that in the winter window.

 

Sad to say that i’m writing this season off, shame since Devlin is an excellent signing, what I wouldn’t have given for a player like him over the last few years. Would be happy to see the manager go too, things are stale and we’re going in the wrong direction both in performance and league position. Yesterday, with Wilson stuck in the Rooney wide left role, emphasized that we need fresh ideas and someone with a different set of contacts in the transfer market. DM, it was good while it lasted, but we’re going nowhere fast by the looks of things.

NYC are funded by the same guys who own Man City, should be possible to squeeze them for a few hundred k’s you’d think?

Would it be worth letting him go for that little? We would then need to recruit a new winger.

 

We will need to recruit one no matter if he leaves now or in the summer.

 

If we force him to see out his contract, we end up with an unhappy player on our books who is inconsistent at the best of times. If his heart was no longer in it that inconsistency could convert to consistent shyteness.

at least he'd be consistent 

I hope GMS goes to NYC and I hope they have a home game in the middle of May when I'm there. Never considered bothering with a sporting event when I'm over this time. Fuck baseball and basketball and NFL, shit sports the lot of them but I would definitely pay to see GMS in action, even though I don't rate him very highly (powderpuff) despite, sadly, he being undoubtedly one of AFC's best footballers. Never watched "soccer" in the states. I bet the crowd are interesting for their extreme obesity and their ignorance of the game.

New York City schedule for you.

Would recommend attending sporting event in the US if you get a chance Rocet as they do know how to do make it a an event. Plus they let you get booze at your seat.

Agreed. Even inferior sports can be enjoyed in America. They know how to entertain when the game is shite.

Aye, but the MLS is pretty poor.

Many thanks Jute. Yes I've been to events in the US but wouldn't go back. Once was enough. Not been to soccer though and as they're not at home when I'm over, won't be breaking my duck this year. I will be at Bethpage for the US PGA golf - moved to May from August where it had been for every year of my lifetime - but that's not the same stadia experience that we are talking about.

Aye, but the MLS is pretty poor.

 

I'd say it's on a par with our league, if not better. Very different style of football but not that bad.

Hopefully he doesn’t jump into the Hudson River.

i'd agree with that.  We get quite a bit of MLS on NZ tv and I've enjoyed the games i've watched.

mulumbu available on loan get him signed

Can't see it. Not with Shinnie, Ferguson, Ball, Gleeson and young Campbell all competing for the position that he would also be trying to fill. Even if Shinnie were to leave in this window (unlikely) I wouldn't want to put someone else in the way of hindering Campbell's progress.....he is the long term solution and needs to be getting as much game time as possible now

Centre mid isn't a priority. That's not to say it can't be improved, but, in order, we need a striker, a left back and another winger before we need to consider centre mid.

Since when have you all decided Bruce Anderson is a midfielder? He started one game v. Livi and you forget he came on as a sub and scored crucial goals displaying a rare hunger and instinct for the goal and you've decided where his future should be? Insane.

I would have mulumbu if it meant shinnie was lb rest of the season.

Rocket I think you're getting ando and Campbell confused.

Indeed I did. Am I thinking right that McInnes played Anderson in midfield v. Livi? Or was it Dean Campbell he played there?

I was very drunk at the game but Anderson was in the middle of the front 3 wasn't he?

Greg Stewart has been recalled to Birmingham as they are looking to sell him this month. Hes been pretty good for Kilmarnock this season. I'm not overly confident that we could get the best out of him, but it wouldn't surprise me if McInnes would go for him.

He's going to Sunderland hence why Birmingham recalled him from what was a full season loan at Killie

Seems like Sunderland are signing half the players in the league at the moment. Be interesting to see how they fare next season in the chapionship.

As you do when down at the local shop I had a sneaky scan at the EE while waiting in the queue(and because the boy in front decides to ask for about 19 scratch cards at the last minute  ).

  Mcinnes saying he's hopeful GMS will stay til at least the end of the season,despite the NY interest.And Hoban hoping to be available for the Stenny game

Rumours on the Celtic forums and Twitter that a deal has been agreed in Dubai between Aberdeen and Celtic for McKenna.

 

£4m plus Hendry and Hayes. No idea if they're loans or permanent (one would have to be permanent at least as can't loan two players from same club).

 

Could be a lot of shite and one guy's story has grown arms and legs. But, if that deal was on offer, would you take it?

 

For me, as long as there was a sell on clause included should Celtic eventually sell him on for big money, I'd take it.

We turned down £6m from Aston Villa. Hendry + Hayes are not worth £2m. Plus I’d be looking for more money from a direct rival.

Fuck no, I wouldn’t take that. Given what we knocked back in the summer, 8 million is a fair number to consider. An average at best hendry and an aging Hayes no thank you. If he leaves I’m pretty certain it’s to England.
