Aberdeen wouldn't sell to us for 2.5m.
I really don’t think I’ve ever seen Lewis Ferguson have a stand out game.
Then again this is our summer rumour for the next 10 years so might as well just accept it’ll be spoken about
Aye I feel like clawing my eyes out with some of the praise they get on hereTbh it beats arguing about the state of the board and praising that mob.

The good young Dutch players that could develop are likely out of our price range sadlyI had assumed given vos and gio's background we would have been bringing in some real dutch/foreign talent at a great age for there development. Seems its the same old names being brought up which surprises me, and not in a good way.
Be interesting to see if they'll sell to anyone at that price. I don't know how much he's pushing for a move, which is usually the biggest factor.

Hopefully we start to see some movement somewhere this coming week but I’ve been saying for for two weeks lolYeah i get that, had just hoped they a few wee diamonds up there sleeve that were simmering under the radar.
We can but dream haha
Lecce supposedly bid 2 million for him.Be interesting to see if they'll sell to anyone at that price. I don't know how much he's pushing for a move, which is usually the biggest factor.
My favourite bit of commentary on Wilson was someone on Twitter saying "we got to a European final despite him, not due to anything he done".
Because hiring Gio for the job in the efficient way he did was clearly nothing to do with him...
He’s Vladimir Weiss for a new generation.I really don’t think I’ve ever seen Lewis Ferguson have a stand out game.

With Brexit, getting EU and non EU workers/players to the UK is a whole new ball game. No surprise with the focus on British talent.I had assumed given vos and gio's background we would have been bringing in some real dutch/foreign talent at a great age for there development.

What would you define as our “online support”I genuinely believe our 'online' support are amongst the f*ckin stupidest on earth. 1 starts a moan about someone, such as Wilson, not fully understanding what he actually does, and then it spreads to those who cant think for themselves and now they also want to constantly moan about what other people are moaning about when none of them actually know what they're moaning about
Hindsight is a wonderful thing but very few were saying that at the time.
It obviously never worked out, these things happen.
The 'same old names' are only brought up by posters on here (and Twitter) though, because they've no 'real' leaks or names to talk about. There's not a shred of truth in any of them as far as I can gather yet they generate page after page of what passes for debate on here.I had assumed given vos and gio's background we would have been bringing in some real dutch/foreign talent at a great age for there development.

He would stroll into our starting lineup,and stay there.imoI’ve nothing against Lewis Ferguson and wish him well of good stock.
What I will say is on what planet does he get into our starting 11 when we have Arfield, Aribo, Kamara, Jack, Lundstram Davis and Lowrie not to mention McCann wanting a slot. 7 players for 3 slots Lewis Ferguson doesn’t get a look in for me.
So why is it even being mentioned?

Good. He can prove himself to be first choice and start most weeks.Colak might not want to be content with that though.
You couldn’t be anymore wrong if you tried.
Actually scary the amount of football fans that know nothing about professional football.
It’s not really. Increasing clubs use directors of football who decide who gets signed and not the manager. I would like to that we have more hybrid approach
Are you Barry, Derek or LewisHe would stroll into our starting lineup,and stay there.imo

You’ve got to be at it.
Surely Ross Wilson brought in specifically for his extensive list of “experience and contacts” must have a decent say.Ross Wilson doesn't decide who we sign. Our manager gets a big say on it, along with the scouting team.

If we get the offers I’m sure they will be sold. If they don’t get any offers, what do we do but try and pin them down.So we push the player trading model back a further year ? Rely on more loans for another year to invest in the squad ? Ask the same players to perform more miracles in Europe to generate income ?
I remember having a similar disagreement with the same nae-sayer’sYou’ve got to be at it.
Suprised we didnt go for Flemming who ended up at Milwall for 2.25mI had assumed given vos and gio's background we would have been bringing in some real dutch/foreign talent at a great age for there development. Seems its the same old names being brought up which surprises me, and not in a good way.
I thought that as well however conversely it's one of the few transfers where a total random on Twitter knows about it for exactly the same reasons.Someone pointed out to me that given how keen Barry Ferguson is to tell journalists everything, if there was anything to this you'd expect the Daily Record to be all over it.
I suspect we're discussing a baseless rumour here.
In what way is he establishing himself in the international side?I imagine any interest that we may have in Ferguson is coming from the fact he's 22 years old, a Rangers fan and is establishing himself in the international side with nearly 200 professional games under his belt (with a 1 in 5 scoring record) at the same level we currently play at.

Doesn't get anywhere near our team. Far inferior to every first team midfielder we have at the moment.I’ve nothing against Lewis Ferguson and wish him well of good stock.

Aye on fifa maybeHe would stroll into our starting lineup,and stay there.imo
One strand is picked up and repeated.
It’s been noticeable how at the moment it’s ‘we are only interested in players we played against” even when a list of transfers illustrates otherwise. That doesn’t matter, though, it’s the new complaint.
Wilson Out. Board Out.
There’s bargains out there with a bit of proper scouting. We got Alfie, Borna, Bassey and Kamara for about 2.5M combined.

4 caps since last August and I'm sure he's in every squad near enough. He's up against Jack, McGregor, McGinn, McTominay, Gilmour, Armstrong, McLean and probably a few others I'm forgetting there too to have more. At 22, he's doing well to force his way by any of them and it isn't a massive flaw if he isn't.In what way is he establishing himself in the international side?
I genuinely blame Football Manager. Too many fans think it’s simply a matter of hitting a few buttons to build a squad capable of winning the CL. It’s the equivalent of an obese UFC fan laying on the sofa thinking he could do better than the guys he’s watching. Ross Wilson couldn’t do my job and I sure as shooting couldn’t do his. Why don’t we realise it’s the 3rd July and cut the guy some slack?It's reached a level of criticism that I honestly cannot see a 'redemption' for him, which is mental. He's doing the bidding of the board, that's who he answers too. That's who control the purse strings. Too many people just don't understand what his job role actually is and auto blame him for things that are outwith his control.
A Stan collymoreEvery team needs a dogger, especially in our league, but I'm not sure Ferguson is him.
Why do youBuying from the SPL can work out ok
Has done in years gone past
Playing with better players could improve Ferguson who is a seasoned SPL player now
I genuinely thought
After our run in Europe
We’d have had a list of players
And they’d have been really keen to join
This is as bizarre a window as I can remember in terms of targets or rumours
As the club to tend to keep it in house nowadays
But had hoped for slightly better rumours than Ferguson or colak
Although both could come in and be decent
You can never really tell who will work and who won’t
