I was hoping we would get him in January, maybe we will launch a summer bid.
Ali was the name i'm sure.
He looked a talent.

Armin Hodzic ? Ex LiverpoolThanks for the update, seems to be doing well and i know who you are talking about, i think i was thinking about the smaller guy that scored those fantastic goals ? we had been linked with both around the same time.
Yea thats himArmin Hodzic ? Ex Liverpool
15 league matches this year 2 goals not great numbers Kojic on the other hand has continued scoring goals after his move to RomaniaYea thats him
That Afif looks a player some feet on him
I know nothing other than he has 29 goals in 15 games.
On loan at same club from parent club Villarreal. 15 apps 14 goals 13 assists.
Football manager experts out in force here
Good , i dont want wee barry and derek anywhere near Ibrox putting their tuppence worth in.Lewis Ferguson just signed a new deal
Vlad gutskovskis?Random question - remember the young Lithuanian we had on trial about 4 years ago? Did he amount to much?
Vlad gutskovskis?
The same thought had crossed my mind as well at times,and as ridiculous as it may sound-we'd have a player who would be less likely to struggle on plastic pitches.I would take Halkett from Livingston as a free from Livingston as our 4th CB next season.
Liam Lindsay is the best shout on that list.
The rest, stay away from champy

I never thought that should be a consideration when considering signing a player,but that's how insane the game is up here at times.
Kristoffer Peterson - Winger - Out of contract at Heracles.
Graeme Shinnie - Anywhere on left would be good back up - Out of contract at Aberdeen.
Steven Naishame - Makes such a difference to Hearts - Out of contract at Everton.
Elvir Koljic - ST - Craiova.
Greg Stewart - Out Of Contract - Birmingham.
Jake Hastie - Young Winger - Out of Contract - Motherwell.
Craig Halkett - CB - Out of contract - Livingston.
Vasilios Lampropoulos - CB - Out of contract - AEK
Marko Livaja - ST - AEK.
To name a few.
It takes the right recruitment not stupid money to find players.
Our scouting department needs to deliver in the summer bigtime.
Honestly no clue mate,I can't even remember his name tbh-but we'll need two CH's in the summer regardless.Nothing happen with that AEK Central Defender we were interested in mate ? Is he still at AEK ?
Honestly no clue mate,I can't even remember his name tbh-but we'll need two CH's in the summer regardless.
Halkett and one other of a higher level to challenge Katic wouldn't be the worst for us,although the defence unless Tav leaves is the least of my worries tbh.
Lack of creativity as we've discussed many times mate,is a different story altogether I'm afraid.
Think it was one of the players the Gaffer was discussing with Sasa Papac when he met himGood in the air too KGR. Was it you that first suggested Koljic mate ?

If we need some strikers in the summer he would be a good bet maybe not throw him in straight away but has shown he can score goals test their resolve 1 million bid see where it goes11 in 14 in Romania now. 23. Not to be sniffed at. Good in the air, which helps over here. Went to Romania for 450k euros too.

Yeap I'm sure our scouts are well aware of the talent that can be stolen from FinlandAgree. A different option, and maybe we could afford both, is that 19yo guy at HJK. He looked really talented. Different type but we need horses for courses.
Some good suggestions there,although Peterson's club actually have the option of an extension when I looked him up on transfermarkt so a fee would be involved in that one.Kristoffer Peterson - Winger - Out of contract at Heracles.

Greg Stewart should have been signed in January.
He can change games like Saturday and is a much better option that Candieas against teams that sit deep against us.
He was a standout for a Killie and doing really well for Aberdeen.

If the fee isn't mental should still be do-able for us though.
Halkett,Shinnie,Koljic would all be good as squad players to save funds for three players of a much higher level as well.
In an ideal scenario we could maybe sign a list like;
Prevljak,Ivanusec,Peterson,Halkett,Shinnie,Koljic-and an attacking midfielder as good as we can possibly afford with whatever funds we have left.
Did you see the HJK game Cav ? They had a couple of talented young players. Really good second striker ( Eetu Tervainen ? ) and a guy that made a couple of really pacy supporting runs a la Windass. Scored their second.
Yes, can’t remember his name either but I know it’s worth a right few points on scrabble
I've seen lots of debate on here recently trying to conclude whether we are going to need another total rebuild in the summer; like many others, I believe we only need a few additions of serious quality.
I've listed some players that I've been an admirer of for some time who I think would turn us into serious title contenders, I've tried to include the obligatory YouTube video to accompany each suggestion but in some cases I couldn't find any.
These are players who in my view go straight into the first team and bolster our weaker areas but I've also included some players that would be players for the future. The defenders are the best example of this as I believe that Goldson and Katic are more than good enough as a pair but we are going to have to replace Worrall and McAuley.
I'd be very interested to read opinions on these guys, arguments in favour of the total rebuild or look at other suggestions.
Striker.
Michael Frey:
This guy should be our top target this summer regardless of Morelos leaving/staying, his workrate is unmatched from any other player I've seen in the game today. He joined Fenerbache in the summer and he hasn't quite found his form from Zurich. He doesn't have the most prolific record but he'd replace Morelos within our system perfectly and should Morelos stay, they'd compliment eachother immensely imo
Myron Boadu:
Being one of the most promising young players in the Eredivisie, he'd be out of our reach when it comes to signing permanently. He had bad luck with a summer injury and as a result hasn't played much this season, at 18 he needs to be playing so I believe a loan deal would be more than possible, maybe even for 2 seasons. He reminds me of a prime Defoe.
Midfield.
Lovro Majer:(The #10 we've been crying out for)
This one would have to be another loan signing, he's viewed as one of the key players for the future in Croatia. He got his big move to Zagreb after rejecting numerous clubs across Europe and sadly got injured at the start of the season. We'd be a very attractive option for both him and Zagreb given we not only offer Europa League football but also have a few of his countrymen in our squad to help him settle easier. I believe he'd be one of the best players in the league once he hit the ground running, he has everything.
Junior Sambia: Obligatory video not found. (you can see multiple individual highlights if you search his name)
This is another player I believe should be a top target, he would cost £4-6m but we'd double our money within a year.
He can play anywhere across the midfield line to a higher standard than anyone currently in our squad and is also more than adequate cover at fullback. He's skilful, strong, pacey and direct, he has the energy and drive we've been missing in abundance.
Barrie McKay:
I considered leaving him out as this as it will possibly stop people taking this seriously. We all know him well and will have differing opinions but I don't think he should have been let go, given that we could probably secure his return for less than £1m I think it's a no brainer.
I believe he is the most technically gifted player we've seen at Ibrox since Barry Ferguson, people seem to forget how many chances he created for a toothless attack that just couldn't bury them.
Defenders.
Rick Van Drogelen:
This is probably the most unrealistic option I've listed, I doubt we could tempt him away from the Bundesliga(should HSV come up) unless we seriously broke the bank.
As a left footed central defender, he'd give us a very balanced back 3 should we keep exploring that shape. There's not much else to say other than he's already a very solid defender and 20 he's only going to get better.
Players for the Future/Backup Options. Lots of people will turn their noses up at these players but these are the type of signings that have Celtic so far ahead of us currently, It's time to stop giving them a monopoly on local talent and invest in our future.
Greg Taylor - I believe he could possibly challenge Barisic for the left back spot immediately, at his age I really believe we should be snapping him up now before he gets a move to England and becomes out of our reach.
Liam Lindsay - Another left sided centre back, he looked very solid at Partick Thistle before leaving for England. The level he plays at might deter people but he's still young enough to develop and given that he's shown he's a good player in the SPFL I think it's an inexpensive option that we'd be silly to ignore.
Lewis Ferguson - Aberdeen will inevitably be difficult to deal with here but he's another one that will inevitably get a move to England and we'd regret not moving for him, there's been endless arguments over him being good enough but he's a player that has already shown great drive, energy and eagerness in big games, he'd thrive playing at Ibrox. Him and Greg Docherty could be our future.
Lawrence Shankland - Another player that has caused heated debate, a late bloomer that has a terrifying goal scoring record this season. He'd be a very inexpensive investment and we'd be guaranteed to profit should it not work out.
I did mate,the lad who was the second striker did look very good on that occasion too but I'd like our scouts to be watching him on a regular basis to see if he's good enough to play that role to the standard we require.
Forgive me for my scepticism,but I thought Davis would still be able to cut it after seeing him boss an International friendly-I think we need to be doing our homework is all I'm saying I suppose.
Vassilis Lambropoulos
To be fair we're not claiming to be professional scouts,or even someone with specialist knowledge.Noooo!! don't sign SPL players or Scottish players, they will never improve your team!!
sign Croatian and Albanian peahearts like Barisic and Grezda, they are the guys who win you leagues.
I'm never sure of the point of these threads, its truly just a case of people plucking names out their arse.

You think we are going to spend 7.5 million pounds on one player?£15M for Morelos? His Red cards are knocking loads off his value to other teams.

Yes you need superhuman knowledge and at least 20 years of professional experience to spot a decent footballer playing for any other team in any other league.
I like your suggestions aswell.Some good suggestions there,although Peterson's club actually have the option of an extension when I looked him up on transfermarkt so a fee would be involved in that one.
If the fee isn't mental should still be do-able for us though.
Halkett,Shinnie,Koljic would all be good as squad players to save funds for three players of a much higher level as well.
In an ideal scenario we could maybe sign a list like;
Prevljak,Ivanusec,Peterson,Halkett,Shinnie,Koljic-and an attacking midfielder as good as we can possibly afford with whatever funds we have left.
I like your suggestions aswell.
But Prevljak will only be possible on loan as he's out our price range.
Ivanusec Dinamo Zagreb have first dibs on Lokomotiva's players so Dinamo would have to allow him to move to us he looks a prospect and Grigo brought him to our attention.
Also i liked the Bockaj (Left footed) guy from Osijek.
We need to be smart in recruitment this summer and we have to sign the best quality players we can sign 3 or 4 quality would be good. The other guys mentioned as you said would give us a stronger squad and we can get alot of them for FREE so why not take a gamble on them.
I think the board will give Stevie £9m which will be some of the income from the sale of Morelos in the summer and also season ticket renewals and a new sponsor (Hopefully). £9m should be more than enough to sign good quality also i expect another 3 loans aswell.
This season we had to build next season we NEED to win the league.Agree RFC. Based on a lot of the guys comments on another thread we could easily lose 10 players between OOC, loan returns & others who just won’t cut it, so we really need to try & pick up Bosmans like McGregor & Arfield this season. That allows the boat to be pushed out for a couple maybe ?
This season we had to build next season we NEED to win the league.
So signing players like this will allow to go and find 2 or 3 real quality and creative players that we need.
Greg Taylor is a must. That boy is a player
Lewis Ferguson would do us a turn aswell but we have no chance doing business with them.
Barrie McKay suggestion you can go put in the bin
But we need alot more quality in every postion not too sure where the £ for that comes from
