Bruno, BrunoCribari?
Mine too mate, but if SG gets behind him and his attitude has improved over the summer then I think we all have to get behind him. No doubt there is a player in there somewhere.Looking good as long as borna can deliver. He’s my only concern with that side.
I wish people would stop saying (The addition of Helander looks like Steven Gerrard is laying down a marker for this season as he looks to close the gap on rivals Celtic.https://www.footballscotland.co.uk/...latest-16569397.amp?__twitter_impression=true
Interview with that Swedish journo on the new boy.
Ah well, all the summers looked the same when you were winningSmith signed Negri Porrini and Amo
@MearnsUnionist were you saying early in the thread mate that the deal for Morelos to leave is further down the line that people think? Not sure if i picked you up wrong
I’d be surprised if Helander is our last signing.
I think what @MearnsUnionist was saying is that we are talking to someone but we are not getting offered the sort of cash that would lead to a transfer being concluded.
Christ I forgot shagger was suspended!
I think if you read his post,then a reply to his post which he liked ,it will answer your question.@MearnsUnionist were you saying early in the thread mate that the deal for Morelos to leave is further down the line that people think? Not sure if i picked you up wrong
You don’t get Rangers wanting to improve ?
First game is a bit away yet, still qualifiers and friendlies so hard to call but I think it’ll look something like
Fod
Tav
Goldson
Helander
Borna
Jack
Davis
Kamara
Ojo
Defoe
Arfield
He is still a young player and his shown his quality but still has plenty to learn in order to improve even further he had a few stinkers last season including Motherwell at home and Spartak away competition is healthyOff course but there are other areas we could do with improvements? I haven’t seen Katic let us down his only bad game was Hamilton away? Anyway onwards and upwards.

It is. But I highly doubt that’s the average when you consider kids, concessions and shit view seats that are cheaper.Haven’t got a calculator on me but
45000 season tickets at an average of
£450 equals a fair bit of money.

The full defence was rank that night imo and Katic was apart of it as was others my main point is that he is only 22 and still has a lot of development left and will get the game time to show it this season as he did last many seem to forgot he played over 30 times last seasonSpartak away mate ? Goldson was howling that night & much worse than Niko.

Morelos will be a tough player to replace.
You saw the difference he made on Tuesday night and through out the last two seasons.
He's a good player, sadly we won't be able to hold on to him and that will please our rivals.
Morelos leaves this summer and we need a replacement of similar or better quality. You are not going to get 40 plus games out of Defoe and Stewart is no where near the level of Morelos (no disrespect to Stewart).
I’d be surprised if Helander is our last signing.
Do you not think we’re missing a bit of dig in the midfield, without Jack in there?Wes for the suspended McGregor and Arfield for Kent and you'll be on the money mate.
Off course but there are other areas we could do with improvements? I haven’t seen Katic let us down his only bad game was Hamilton away? Anyway onwards and upwards.
Apparently the guy was mixed up, it’s 2 million now and 4 instalments of 1 million. And the future instalments are over decades not years.Lovely stuff, this will increase Timmy's paranoia that we are paying 4 million upfront and a further 2x 1 million installments

With you all the way on this one.Agree CC. Disappointed in the way some are creating his legacy.
He’s one phenomenal player.
Not going to happen, in my opinion.Bjorklund was one of the most ungainly players I’ve ever seen in our colours. He was utterly useless with the ball at his feet and not particularly strong in the air either from memory. What he had going for him was speed. He was quick in the recovery granted, but I’m hoping if this guy signs he’s a big step up in quality than Bjorklund ever was.
He was lucky against Celtic and hearts in those end of season games got to tight and turned both should if scored but for poor finishing and a good save from wes one of his biggest flaws is getting to tight imo. But that can be worked on he has so much potential to be a great defenderHe is still a young player and his shown his quality but still has plenty to learn in order to improve even further he had a few stinkers last season including Motherwell at home and Spartak away competition is healthy
Can this boy play left back at all? If need be
Ah, bit, Katic is my favourite.You don’t get buying better players than we currently have?
With you all the way on this one.
Found myself checking I'm on the right board recently - we’ve got the league’s top scorer from last season on our books, he’s young and only going to get better yet it seems a significant percentage of posters can’t wait to see him gone. I think some people believe we can just pluck another 30 goal a season man off a tree
Same for Motherwells goal in the 7-1 game he got turned and ended up subbed at half time he's a good defender but he needs competition to improveHe was lucky against Celtic and hearts in those end of season games got to tight and turned both should if scored but for poor finishing and a good save from wes one of his biggest flaws is getting to tight imo.

Despite all you say, Smith liked him.
Funny that.
By the way, so did the Sweden manager.
Okay, that was his uncle but he must have been okay for Sweden as well.
He was also a very good defender.
As I have previously posted, Lustig strolled our league (except last season v Kent). He's a big loss for them
Did you understand my post ? Shite v us, but that's only 4 of 38 matches, ps he was on winning side in 2 of our matches last season You yourself said he was decent v nobodies (ie rest of SPFL). Their next rb may struggle v the diddies of SPFL. Take the anti Celtic goggles off.Hes really not.
Was decent when up against nobody swanning about like the big i am but he is/was their weak link last season and we exploited it(for the time he was on the park).
I would much rather he was still playing this season as well past his best and even that was average.

We'll have a very strong bench too. Time to get back to demolishing tripe like kilmarnock again like the old days.
The days of these tin pot teams thinking we're shite and have a chance against us are over.
He has some attacking stats that are up there with Tav, chances created, passes into the opposition box, completed crosses etcYes perfectly thanks.
You said he strolled our league and will be a huge loss.
I disagree 100%.
I think last season apart he was reasonable because the opposition was so poor.
Last season he was the mentally challengeds weak point and was targetted.
This season would have seen him targetted and exploited even more.
Ergo in my opinion i wish he had signed a new deal and our wingers (and other spl teams)could tear him a new one.
No anti mentally challenged goggles here, i just think hes an at best average player who is well past his best.
