He’s closer to 29 than he is to 28.He's 28 until he becomes 29. That's how it works

I've seen this argument before.He’s closer to 29 than he is to 28.
Some would call Boyd oneWhy does Scott brown immediately spring to mind
Cricket?
He'll be 33 in five years time... surely that's too old?Pedantic loyal. He’ll be 29 for the vast majority of next season and I had that in mind.
I'll add you to the list then mate as you clearly know little about him apart from his stats like the rest of us.With respect, he's almost 29. I think we can have a pretty good idea of his level after that long in the game. He did very little until about 24, then had some good seasons in Croatia, did nothing in Greece and then had a good season in Sweden. I've no doubt he can contribute and is better than Itten but I wouldn't say I was excited, his only good seasons have come in countries who are 19th and 23rd in the rankings.
I can’t see Roma not wanting to pay £700k to get him.Wages that Roma were willing to pay though, despite not being willing to pay the required fee to buy him.
They are bud
Solbakken demanding big wages apparently
Why wouldn't it be used here then, especially for fans of a club whose origins are closely linked to that great sport?Yes mate.
That must not be the asking price then.I can’t see Roma not wanting to pay £700k to get him.
Hes out of contract in December. So won't be a lotThat must not be the asking price then.

Edit, never mind. It's way off the transfer topic.
By the mere fact that people trot that description out willy nilly these days.In what way is it a cliche?
We've agreed a fee for Colak though.Colak, Botheim, Solbakken and Dallinga are all players we should be definitely looking at.
The UECL winners are losing out on Solbakken, Galatasaray (Tiny club) are interested in Botheim, Toulouse are landing Dallinga for €2.5m
And we're just holding out on Colak, not willing to go to €2.7m by the looks of it right now.
It's frustrating that we aren't making moves, and people say trust the process etc, but the players needed and available to take us to the next level are going to be snapped up.
And we'll probably come away with Tom Lawrence and Ross Stewart.
I'm hopeful I'm just overthinking it and I'll be wrong but bugger me sideways do we do some fucking about.
Have we though? Nothing is concrete we are going off random rumours.We've agreed a fee for Colak though.
My mate has a new baby not quite a year old but parents usually tell you how many weeks/months, I asked how old his baby was he said zero.He’s closer to 29 than he is to 28.

It just a way for posters to talk down any signings we make a strange bunch if you ask me.Seen this posted numerous times about him being signed as a 3rd choice striker.
Who is to say he's 3rd choice? Because he's not valued at £5-6m? Because he's not playing for a bigger club? Because he's 28 (which is apparently over the hill)? Because some posters have decided that that's all he's good enough for?
I'm sure if he does sign he won't be coming here thinking 'acht well, I'm 3rd choice'...
£2m or thereabouts seems to be a perfectly reasonable fee for someone who I'm sure would be coming here looking to fight it out for the striker role, regardless of who is or isn't still here.
Hope we get the deal across the line personally.
You have a listI'll add you to the list then mate as you clearly know little about him apart from his stats like the rest of us.
H&H update: Rangers agreed a fee with PAOK over Colak, PAOK unwilling to finalise on it yet.
So basically, yeah nothing has been agreed and it looks more likely PAOK will reject and rangers may walk away
No no seriously if we end up with Lawrence and Stewart we riot.Colak, Botheim, Solbakken and Dallinga are all players we should be definitely looking at.

Those two paragraphs say almost completely opposite things.H&H update: Rangers agreed a fee with PAOK over Colak, PAOK unwilling to finalise on it yet.

Not just in this ordeal, but Greek clubs always seem a pain in the arse to deal with.H&H update: Rangers agreed a fee with PAOK over Colak, PAOK unwilling to finalise on it yet.

H&H latest update and reports from Greece would say this isn't going much further right now.We've agreed a fee for Colak though.

cliché
noun
- 1.
a phrase or opinion that is overused and betrays a lack of original thought.
It amazes me more that I haven’t heard of it, ever!It amazes me this is used on a Scottish foot message board given its origins
As this thread is littered with football pish-talk - Are we now waiting on player power to save the day?H&H update: Rangers agreed a fee with PAOK over Colak, PAOK unwilling to finalise on it yet.

Looks like we’ve agreed an acceptable fee but they’re not willing to sell yet for whatever reason, maybe waiting for a replacement or waiting or any higher bids from elsewhere, and we might get fed up with it and move on. What I’m taking from it.Those two paragraphs say almost completely opposite things.

I hope we do, if it continues.H&H giving the same info on Colak as Rangers review so clearly they have been briefed by the club
Fee agreed then PAOK starting dragging their heals. Rangers may walk away if it continues
Sounds like they won’t finalise until they get a replacement in.H&H update: Rangers agreed a fee with PAOK over Colak, PAOK unwilling to finalise on it yet.

No lolYou have a list
And the day after he’s 29 he closer to 30 than 29 because you can’t go back the way!He’s closer to 29 than he is to 28.
There is thought behind it though. We need a penalty box striker in the mould of Kirs Boyd who can rattle in goals against SPFL cannon fodder.
The tims have multiple players who fit that description: Furushashi, Giakomakis, Turnbull, Rogic etc. They all look like superstars against dross in the league and struggle at a higher level.
We're looking for someone similar to supplement guys like Morelos and Kent in our forward areas. Don't see the issue with that.
December i think his contract is out, must be due to there league being differentThey have a few days until he goes OOC Ted. 1 July he’s free to start negotiating I think ?

Except the actual origins of the phrase in cricket are more to do with playing conditions than the quality of opposition.

Has a quick peek in at thread, sees this, has a quicker dash out.My mate has a new baby not quite a year old but parents usually tell you how many weeks/months, I asked how old his baby was he said zero.
What has that got to do with anything? Haha never saw so much nit picking over a choice of words used before.
