No idea just what I’ve seen on here chief. Looks a tremendous talentHas there been any remotely credible links to him or is this the work of Caskie?

Impact sub when the opposition is tiring.Wright isn’t a” very good option” I don’t think. He’s a semi useful substitute nothing more.
We keep hearing we have a list of targets for every position and are always ready when the time comes well that's NOW.Hope that the club won't make a panic buy now to replace Hagi and that this is something they've always had in the back of their minds.
Belongs back at Aberdeen that's his level I'm afraid.Impact sub when the opposition is tiring.
He hasn't impressed when used over 90 minutes.
Are we even linked with this guy?
noAre we even linked with this guy?
Nope.Are we even linked with this guy?
It's the new FF scouting departmentWhat's this got to do with anything?
Probably correct. Clubs may be willing to take a lower fee also toward end of window if no other takersThat's how I see it, bud. From listening to Gio, it appears we've been targeting a specific player for some time. Someone already familiar to Wilson who will probably set us back a few million. There'll be plans in place if ASO is unattainable.
The loan market will open up in the coming days and perhaps this signing will be more of a punt. But with five subs now available and Europe still to play for, I just don't see us not bringing in cover for Hagi.
I get the impression we're not far off with Souttar either. Let's see what happens after tomorrow's card of games.
Just my gut feeling.
Stop itThe way Gio smiled at Barker when he came off suggests he'll be involved more now. Like a new signing.
Off the top of my head he got 2 in the Europa league and 3 against Motherwell so you’ve got that wrong… , it’s also harsh to say 40 odd appearances when the vast majority were cameos off the bench and I also don’t think he made 40 , I’m not saying he’s the answer but he’s not as poor as sone people make out otherwise he’d be nowhere near that Swiss national team, was also a top performer in pre season for us some may forgetNo because he’s hopeless a goal against Stirling Albion doesn’t change that he was chronic for most of the game he’s scored something like 3 goals in 40 odd games that’s no where near the calibre of player we need.
True if it's someone the club is wanting rid of because they don't play often or are performing poorly, like Hagi two years ago. If they are in good form this season then the price will be even higher.Probably correct. Clubs may be willing to take a lower fee also toward end of window if no other takers
Do you think our bloated squad is the reason for our lack of incomings ?Hopefully we don't rush into loan deals that will hinder rather than help. A week to go and panic might set in and we take a gamble on an inconsistent player who shows sign of talent but ultimately won't add quality.
Overly optimistic and hoping we have 6m to spend on 2 players or a loan and a decent splash of cash on another 4 or 5m player.
But right now our squad is breaking even, Patterson out and Sands in. So I'll be disappointed if nobody is added on the attacking front.
What’s the point of this if we ain’t linked with him, no wonder the last transfer thread got chopped
If we're going for an out of form and unwanted player, yeah.Probably correct. Clubs may be willing to take a lower fee also toward end of window if no other takers
if its souttar ill be pissed offWith Gio saying we are definitely looking to add another player hopefully we get some good news soon.
Really need to start getting the non-contributors out the club so that incomings are easier, we have far too many.
Your acting like we haven't watched him play. He's not near good enough.Off the top of my head he got 2 in the Europa league and 3 against Motherwell so you’ve got that wrong… , it’s also harsh to say 40 odd appearances when the vast majority were cameos off the bench and I also don’t think he made 40 , I’m not saying he’s the answer but he’s not as poor as sone people make out otherwise he’d be nowhere near that Swiss national team, was also a top performer in pre season for us some may forget
I think this is exactly the reason.Do you think our bloated squad is the reason for our lack of incomings ?
Still far too many on our books and our squad is still far too big imo.
At least 3 of them wouldn't have been had we had a buyer.Simpson, Bacuna, Lundstram, Barker should all be nowhere near the club by this point in January, yet all remain.
Actually posted in another thread (before Hagi got injured) I think that would work really well and would allow directness with quality on both flanks.It's a whole other thread I suppose, but I'd be tempted with the way Gio wants us to play to have Kent wide right and Sakala wide left, as the squad stands.
We'll see how we look this time next week I suppose!
Maybe giving him the chance to actually play against them before deciding that he is too nice to beat them would be an idea?
BTW you don’t compete at the level he did throughout his career by being anyones mug.
It’s Wilson’s job to get rid of those who aren’t contributing. He’s failing in this window.At least 3 of them wouldn't have been had we had a buyer.
You can't sell if if no one is buying.
It is but you're making the process sound very simplistic when in reality, it isn't.It’s Wilson’s job to get rid of those who aren’t contributing. He’s failing in this window.
I have a strong feeling we’ll sign Skov Olsen and said as much weeks ago.
No way are we paying £7.5m but think we’ll get something agreed.
He’s training on his own to try and force a move and think he’d come here over Brugge tbh.

Get rid how?It’s Wilson’s job to get rid of those who aren’t contributing. He’s failing in this window.
Even though his preferred destination is Bruges and they are in negotiations with Bologna?I have a strong feeling we’ll sign Skov Olsen and said as much weeks ago.

Kent would still still have the ability to go both ways, and Sakala is more suited to the left than the right side.
Still need a body though.
Gotta be honest, I think if it's a straight choice he'd prefer Brugge in that case, but I don't think we'll be in the running for him.

Definitely too bloated and the mental thing is by Summer we could be squad bare.Do you think our bloated squad is the reason for our lack of incomings ?

His agent was in Bologna today apparently for talks.I get the feeling the constant ‘close to signing for Brugge’ updates are agent work trying to encourage us to make a move.
I don’t doubt we have a serious interest but clearly aren’t entertaining Bologna’s valuation. Seemingly Brugge, or any other interested parties, aren’t either which helps our cause.
I think you forget that GVB won the Erevidsie for Feyenoord for the first time in a decade against an Ajax team that made a UCL champions league semifinal.I mean his general demeanour. Doesn't seem to have a nasty streak in him like Gerrard did.
True, but may world class players have completely failed as managers as they're not cut out for it. Not saying that's Gio btw, but the point stands. Good player ≠ good manager.
Let it go mate he’s gone. Don’t let the Veerman situation repeat itself lol.I have a strong feeling we’ll sign Skov Olsen and said as much weeks ago.

eh? It’s showing you there are fast, skillfull players out there who we could get. It was also keenly talked about by other posters in the last thread. Are we only now to talk about players we have actually signed?What's this got to do with anything?
I miss the Veerman trainLet it go mate he’s gone. Don’t let the Veerman situation repeat itself lol.
If Brugge hadn’t come in for him I’d probably have that same feeling but by all accounts the deal with Brugge is close. He’ll either go there or stay at Bologna.
