corbs 147 Posted June 22, 2021 Indeed - Always thought those who call for a foreign billionaire and fairy godmother are the ones lacking ambition. What’s wrong with working hard and being astute , bread and roses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But let us not forget poor (big) Keith Scot, Big Vince and Highland. They will be at home feeling desperately sad at the new signings. Indeed, a very bleak day awaits should we sign Gunn, Ajer and Gilmour on top of Rashica today as the first little group of our pre season signings. Our thoughts are very with them.

Perhaps you should swap the yellow for a blue shirt, I get the feeling it would be right up your street. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quite right Sonyc, very remiss of me to forget those three members of the doomster quartet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,092 Posted June 22, 2021 Just doing what we need to do to avoid relegation. It's an encouraging start but still a lot of gaps in the squad to fill. Need to get the other rumoured signings over the line before we start singing look at us we're ambitious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dean Coneys boots 1,382 Posted June 23, 2021 Looks decent- so certainly credit to the club-  but not yet proven. I remember people getting over excited with Naismith and the Wolf. Also, £10 million on a player is entry level signing at this level now.  and let’s not forget he needs to hit the floor equal to emi for this to be a step forward and not backwards from last season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was only a bad signing because of the way Hughton wanted to play IMHO. In this team I think he would have scored a lot of goals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I need to recover my inner "glass-half-empty" spirit, stare at it coldly, and tip the remaining half into the sewer. How could I be so fooled by the signing of "molten" Milot???

Kenny Foggo 1,105 Posted June 23, 2021 So he is already proven and its because we spent money.. glad to see you're finally getting it 😜 Long way to go before the squad is ready but looks a great signing. Really hope it works out and if Farke can work his magic we will have some player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Am just reserving judgment until he has played a few games.  The fundamental point is that lots of people have seen him play, and many of those are genuine football pundits. They all seem to agree the guy is a very talented footballer (even FIFA 21 has him rated with identical points to Emi, although he's considerably faster than him). All that suggests he has no more to prove than Emi does at this stage in his career. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
