No harm but anyone who thinks katic is the answer should watch another sport
Souttar has been miles ahead of Goldson this season. He was fantastic last season no doubt, but I’d guess that is levels he has never hit and will never hit again.
Doekhi was injured at the start of the season which led to them shipping a lot of goals.Are the latter two actually any good? Or is it Veerman Syndrome?
Both play for Vitesse. They conceded 5 against Ajax, 4 to Twente and even 3 to Willem II this season. Even Dundalk put 3 past them in conference league qualifying.
Getting obsessed with the same name in every transfer thread.Veerman is good, so what is that syndrome exactly?
There are various syndromes on here tbf. However, it’s not patter - some of the obsessions folk develop over players we don’t get can be likened to Stockholm Syndrome. Veerman didn’t want us, he said as much; yet folk remained obsessed.Doekhi was injured at the start of the season which led to them shipping a lot of goals.
And they're generally across the starting eleven a slightly above average team in the eredevisie.
Also, Being captain at such a young age usually means a player has something about them.
For the record 'Veerman syndrome' is horrendous patter mate, seriously.
Lies, damned lies and statistics. Connor Goldson is ten times the player Souttar is.Souttar has been miles ahead of Goldson this season. He was fantastic last season no doubt, but I’d guess that is levels he has never hit and will never hit again.
Katic was well below Helander and Goldson in his performances before getting injured. He's currently having a brutal time at Hajduk. I'd suggest it's not even remotely close to being a priority.Katic recalled is a priority
Red star Belgrade midfielder ?A centre back and I would like another midfielder in the same mould as Scott Arfield. Strong runner and wants to break the lines with his running beyond. Something I think we really lack.Really makes us a different proposition to teams when we have that as we’re otherwise quite predictable(under Gerrard anyway)
Has helender started light training ?With Helander and Balogun due back and the option of recalling Katic if we get really desperate, I don’t honestly see the need of using what scant resources we’re likely to have in January on another centre half.
we signed aribo for 300k morelos for 1 million kamara for 50k its all about potential theres bargains in that dutch league. Watch this spaceWe don’t have money to be bringing in much better than that.
Aribo might have cost 300k Cross border compensation fee but there will be a significant sign on fee on top of that again.we signed aribo for 300k morelos for 1 million kamara for 50k its all about potential theres bargains in that dutch league. Watch this space
This needs to be constantly repeated ....we desperately need home grown players for Europe.
Yeah, I listed two of them in Doekhi & Bazoer. You're not getting much better CBs than that for free.we signed aribo for 300k morelos for 1 million kamara for 50k its all about potential theres bargains in that dutch league. Watch this space
Aye, people seem to think it isn't a big deal, but it is.This needs to be constantly repeated ....
The problem with Helander is we're never going to get a full season out of him.A good centre back signing has to be the priority. Get Helander back and move Bassey to left back.
Our attacking players are more than good enough
i watched Doekhi recently I thought he looked like a carthorse, maybe a bad game but looked slow on the turn and running back to his goal wasn’t the quickestDoekhi was injured at the start of the season which led to them shipping a lot of goals.

Bassey is never a CB in his life.Bassey and helander are good enough for the left we need a replacement for goldson
Better second half today but day dreaming at their goal and McGregor wonder save
Souttar isn’t replacing Goldson. Not even close to being the same quality.
Vlad Weiss syndromeGetting obsessed with the same name in every transfer thread.
He's been linked with us and English clubs we aren't the only ones interestedIf the boy Doekhi is so good won't he have better options than the SPL?
Is it a case of foreign name syndrome?
I wouldn’t be surprised to see one of our youngsters be given the 4th choice CB role next season, similar to how we moved Patterson and Bassey up the pecking order by letting players goAye, people seem to think it isn't a big deal, but it is.
It's all well and good saying you can just go without them... Blah blah blah
The reality was shown in that first Slavia game were we had to go with Bassey and he had a mare.
You can pick up a homegrown CB for a similar wage as your 4th choice CB (Simpson), who he is much better than. It's a no brainer for me.
Same reason we should have went with Ali McCann on a cheap fee as a project player.
Robertson gave an interview on RTV where he confirmed it took circa £2m to get the Aribo deal over the line.Aribo might have cost 300k Cross border compensation fee but there will be a significant sign on fee on top of that again.
Has anyone seen this guy play before? Keep seeing his name mentioned but not 1 I'd heard of until the links appeared.If the boy Doekhi is so good won't he have better options than the SPL?
Is it a case of foreign name syndrome?
Any update on that one?We desperately need at least one other centre half.
Goldson is way off form.
It remains to be seen what Katic will be like post injury,if he does get recalled.
Simpson just isn't good enough.
Helander out long term.
Aribo deal cost us £3m in total.Aribo might have cost 300k Cross border compensation fee but there will be a significant sign on fee on top of that again.
I asked the next door neighbour, a Thistle fan, also a Nat, if he knew anything about this.Lewis Mayo didn't play for partick thistle in the scottish cup on friday night. Be interesting to know if he was injured or Rangers requested he didn't play to keep him from being cup tied. I can see us recalling him in January
Think it's probably been highlighted already but Katic hasnt really been having a great time on loan mate. Not sure he's the answerKatic recalled is a priority
Free in January?A name no one has mentioned, Erik Botheim from Bodo/Glimt.
Think it's pretty standard with the cross border fees. Obviously works in our favour paying a lower comp fee than English clubs but we need to offer something to these young players and their agents to get them to turn down English clubs.Robertson gave an interview on RTV where he confirmed it took circa £2m to get the Aribo deal over the line.
Think a few clubs will be interested in him, especially after ripping Roma a new arseA name no one has mentioned, Erik Botheim from Bodo/Glimt.
Says valued at £540,000Free in January?
You no had it before? You can make a cracking one yourself with eggs mustard and lemon juice.I would give Mayo a chance also,
Bassey isn’t a centre half. He’s not even our first choice left back.Bassey and helander are good enough for the left we need a replacement for goldson
Better second half today but day dreaming at their goal and McGregor wonder save
Hope so, top priority areas.My opinion is gio will bring in a CB and an attacking midfielder in january
Souttar has been miles ahead of Goldson this season. He was fantastic last season no doubt, but I’d guess that is levels he has never hit and will never hit again.
Katic recalled is a priority
Those stats though are comparing apples and oranges in a lot of ways.The joy of introducing facts and stats into a debate where others are purely emotional and generalising is top positing.
Good work, numbers make a compelling case for Soutter being an option. Obviously his injuries are of concern but if wages and cost of buying were appealing, it could be a great piece of business.
Was he not carrying a injury at start of seasonBarisic is getting a total pass from some this season, he’s been utter dross
