The quote is there are no bad ideas only great ones that go horribly wrong lol im not saying it’s a great idea though, just something better than the U23s and something other clubs have pursued, albeit in different countries. They probably wouldn’t have done that on the whole if they could have bought in the England. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s Celtic, Rangers in the past, one or two others and then there is the rest of the SPL. Celtic would be good enough for the Prem over the years.....certainly as good as many Championship clubs that get promoted. So, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 people have been asking why we can't sign the sort of players that Everton and West Ham have, yet it's hardly done them much good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could be right. Will come down to the competition. If nobody else is willing to take a punt at the moment then he may be cheaper than you think. It is so hard to judge in the current market.

The owners might well think a big outlay on a good keeper in order to avoid the kind of mishaps and errors we have seen this season would be money well spent. I would certainly not be against spending a chunk of money on a decent keeper, as I have no faith in any of our keepers except Heaton, and he needs good back up and competition. If he is not ready for the beginning of the season, I dread having to start with any of the others. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not got a problem with signing mercenaries, as long as they do the job. It's usually that we sign idiots on long term contracts that's the problem.

Popular Post Tomaszk Posted August 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 16, 2020 McKennie would be a huge signing for us. He's a great player but importantly adds some size and pace in midfield. Would be ferocious alongside a fully fit McGinn. Their names even match up. Just feels like he'll go to Southampton and be brilliant for them. Really hope we're across it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okonokos Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Yeah, McKennie would be an absolute game changer of a signing for us. The type of player who'd come here and probably win player of the year in his first season. I really, really hope we're in for him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Ramsdale would be a great signing for us. Heaton is a top Keeper but has missed a fair amount of time through injury in recent season's. Ramsdale is gettable as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
