He was sitting in the airport waiting for a call that Rangers had a bid accepted, would have gone if not.And yet Club Brugge were very, very close to getting him ahead of us, presumably for a similar fee.

We said the same thing last year though then we went and signed loads of players - including Brandon BarkerWell it's been quantity over quality up till now. Hopefully that's changing for next season.
Desire from within, mental toughness and a never say die attitudeWould you mind defining what a winner is in your opinion? Is it simply a player with experience of winning trophies?
I disagree it’s the level of quality of loan players that’s the problem.Hopefully NO MORE loan players from other teams

Hagi is the level we should be aiming for,especially if there’s a chance of an option to buy.
I’d bite your hand off for Andre Gray and Skov Olsen on loan for next season.
I’d put it down to the mentality of the player. Take the last dance and michael Jordan’s mentality as an example. Will push his team mates to be better, won’t accept mediocrity, do whatever it takes in order to win the game. A winner doesn’t need to have a medal to have a winners attitude.Would you mind defining what a winner is in your opinion? Is it simply a player with experience of winning trophies?
I think certain players either just don’t suit certain clubs,with the two I mentioned one(Gray) is surplus to requirements despite his ability.But that's the problem, to get a good level of loan player you must ask the question "why is he not playing for that team" to me Hagi is the exception and well done to Ross Wilson in spotting him.
I don't understand why people don't realise this.I think certain players either just don’t suit certain clubs,with the two I mentioned one(Gray) is surplus to requirements despite his ability.
Skov Olsen is a young player who hasn’t managed to adapt to Serie A and he won’t be the last.
I think you need to appreciate the level they’re being asked to play at also,Skov Olsen will find it easier to get by a say,McKenna of Aberdoom- than he would a Chiellini of Juventus for example.I don't understand why people don't realise this.
Hagi is 21 and Skov Olsen is 20, if they were delivering 8/10 performances every week they would be going to Barcelona for €30m+. Young players need time and they need to find an environment they can thrive in, it doesn't always work out in certain countries
I was in agreement with you till that point.I don’t think we signed a British player that hadn’t played against us, Hastie, Barker, Stewart, Jones,being 4 examples. Much as I love the manager he has to take responsibility for them. The Manager tells the DOF what type of player he wants and what positions he needs strengthened.
The Board ( and us ) provide the cash. In my humble opinion we should have signed a striker the moment Alfredo was suspended. we should always have the option of a BIG striker. Our loss of form was down to a loss of goals.
Whatever our budget is we need a striker, a strong aggressive ball-winning midfielder and a centre back.
Excellent point that I’ve made before.I think certain players either just don’t suit certain clubs,with the two I mentioned one(Gray) is surplus to requirements despite his ability.

I can almost guarantee that he's not on 10k a weekThe barker contract stinks for me and is maybe the reason allen was suddenly hoofed out the door. 10k a week for 3/4 yrs fooking mental
