Well our season starts tomorrow. I've no idea how we'll line up. I'm struggling a wee bit with the remains of last season's apathy and I think we've had a pretty dreadful transfer window so far. I'm shocked at how so many people are happy with the shite we've signed. But fingers crossed that this Finish mob will be more shite than us and we can get through. Pre-season results so far haven't been very encouraging even though I know it's not really about the results. It still kind of is.  Hopefully I'm wrong and we'll actually be fucking ace.

Anybody got a proper angle of Niall's goal rather than the musical montage club put out earlier??

 

 

Gallagher looks a real find.

 

Anyone know the ins and outs of his contract situation in the States ?

Is it pie in the sky to think we might be able to get him on a permanent deal if he keeps impressing until his loan period is up ?

US season restarts in March. It seems a bit of a stretch to think that Atlanta wouldn't be open to doing a deal with us right now given he never figured at all for their first team. Probably fairly cheaply too...….pure guesswork but I think £100k would get him.

 

However if he were to shine here over the next couple of months? It would certainly alert other clubs down south maybe top end EFL1 possibly even up to mid table Championship that there might be a player worth taking a punt on. Atlanta would encourage a bidding war and we might find that by the time his loan is up that we might need to offer £300k upwards to get him onboard. Even if we could afford that....he might fancy an English club more. I honestly think we have to take a gamble now and make the offer, otherwise we will miss the boat

I'd probably agree with this, well, probably before the window shuts anyway, so we've got a few more games to assess him.  He's certainly impressed, good to see someone with some drive. Just need him to find his shooting boots, but at least he was in the right positions to take shots last week.

Just a reminder that this game is at 5PM UK time
