Hagi would be the Aribo replacement imo.
He's still a good few months away from being fit though.

I like him in truth. He’s an honest big player. Not sure he will make it at Ibrox though, but he has ‘something’. I get the point about age though, for us he’s kinda floated between the u18s and the B Team. Probably too good for one and not quite good enough for the other. Will face some stiff competition in the B Team this coming season.
He is annoying as hell which is a shame as Josh and Ginge are ok.A
get that specky bastard in the sea haha
Can’t stand him
I already hate him he tore me a new one on football manager !More I read about Bongonda the more I’m convincing myself he’s the goal scoring winger we’ve lacked for years.
Get him fucking signed.
Is it all agreed but they won’t let him sign until they’ve bought a replacement?PAOK should be told the deal is off by close of play today if no movement is made
Maybe we have simply raised the bar. The recent recruitment of various rated youngsters would suggest this. I take this as a positive.Cheers mate, assuming it’s down to a few
things -
1 - players have not progressed as expected
2 - scouting has not been good enough
3 - coaching has not been good enough
Nathan Patterson????The market is wild. Seems even harder to find reasonably priced realistic options than ever before that are going to improve our starting 11.
Almost seems like we are going to need to gamble and go after young players before they make a real name for themselves or really soon after they break into their first team or players from lower leagues rather than the top division in nations.
Not that it was going to happen, but 8 million for an Israeli winger with a handful of first team appearances is ridiculous and illustrates the point.

Don’t worry we have other targets to move on to or so we’ve been told…PAOK should be told the deal is off by close of play today if no movement is made
"Thousands"Don’t worry we have other targets to move I to or so we’ve been told…
Its not, we clearly just do not have the funds to be paying 3-4m for players.The market is wild. Seems even harder to find reasonably priced realistic options than ever before that are going to improve our starting 11.

Find it strange PAOK are behaving the way they are, he has clearly not been part of their plans for a good while now.
Easy to say that mate. But sometimes transfers aren’t always straightforward.PAOK should be told the deal is off by close of play today if no movement is made

How do you mean mate?Thing is, you’re getting all uppity and critical when, I’d bet, you don’t know what’s happening in the background.
You’re criticising Wilson for what’s happened up to now on this one then boast that you’d give them a deadline?
Is that not a bit of a mixed message?
I get what you’re saying and he may fit the bill in every sense but if we’ve not got at least 4 or 5 back options then our scouting department are failing us.Easy to say that mate. But sometimes transfers aren’t always straightforward.
What if Gio really wants this guy and thinks he is exactly what we need?
We all want players in, and the sooner the better, but sometimes patience is required.
ATM if nobody leaves we need a Right winger first and foremost we have needed a quality one for about 3 yearsTrust our process, Wilson seems to take a kicking during the transfer window, it’s fair to say he’s well versed in it and has produced in the past. Also got to think if we’re going to hang on to our top players what do we actually need? Certainly a striker, possibly a CB and keeper.

Good point, I think given we loaned Diallo then they will try and sort that area too. Not sure if they expect Wright to step into it give how he finished the season, but not sure he’s there for it.ATM if nobody leaves we need a Right winger first and foremost we have needed a quality one for about 3 years
Jonny McFarlane.Who the f*ck said that?
That's the two we need definitely we only need more if we move on starters.Right wing and backup striker is all we will sign unless we shift Aribo, Morelos or Kent.
Hagi would be the Aribo replacement imo.
It's not about patience it's about dealing with the set of circumstances around the deal.Easy to say that mate. But sometimes transfers aren’t always straightforward.

That's the outliar if Wright continues improving he could make the position its ownGood point, I think given we loaned Diallo then they will try and sort that area too. Not sure if they expect Wright to step into it give how he finished the season, but not sure he’s there for it.
Fucking hilarious.I see we have the loaded the large database on football manager.
Fucking hilarious.
David Graham really does think we're idiots.

Nathan Patterson????
Guess a database is better than back of a fag packet but it's all getting a bit silly.Same was said on H&H about the thousands on a database
McFarlane is fed direct from the club unfortunately. It’s a stock line that’s been given to fan (who in this case isn’t really a fan) media.I have my opinion on David Graham but wouldn’t be hanging him for something Jonny McFarlane says ffs
The boy is clueless

Kind of sums it all up but it is true.
Of course, but it’s not 2 weeks from now. I agree there comes a point with any deal when you have to walk away as it’s not worth the hassle, but I don’t think we are at that point yet.It's not about patience it's about dealing with the set of circumstances around the deal.
99% of the points on here collapse as nobody knows really what's going on. You can only look at the pattern of behaviour and make a call.
If Colak was injured for 8 weeks you'd just have to say bastard we really wanted him but it's too risky. I'm just uncomfortable with being beholden to PAOKs striker search, something we know absolutely nothing about.
People may be patient now, I guarantee if this situation is unchanged in 2 weeks time that patience will have ran out.
He has briefed them all with it, H&H said the same.I have my opinion on David Graham but wouldn’t be hanging him for something Jonny McFarlane says ffs

I see we have the loaded the large database on football manager.
I don’t mind him as an option. But I wouldn’t want to be relying on him in Europe for example.Attitude & application shouldn't ever be underestimated mate. When your talking about a squad player, & option from the bench even more so.
I don't think many of us see him being the answer to our RW problem, but if he can come on in games, or start some when needed, & produce the same, or better, not forgetting he can play on either wing, then..
