First time post.
Happy with all the signings reckon couple more needed though offload herrera rossiter niko alves hodson free up some cash.
For those who want rid of cardoso young player good with ball at feet and sayin we've got bates REALLY?
Bates played amazing against celtic won't take tht away frm him went to florida and ud have thought he was a fam and we were short of numbers so gave him a game. Nowhere near cardoso level with ball at feet not even close but cause he had great game against them from what i read half this forum want him in hall of fame. God bert konterman scored a screamer against them and at most parts was horrendous to watch.
Cummings, i reckon will lighting the team up and more width with murphy etc goss looks good with ball at feet. Martin a didn't really see point in signing not played for month so going to take a good month to be match fit by tht point what's the point havin him with mccrorie coming back.
Also don't see the point in bringing loans in that ain't going to commit after summer goss for example just helping qpr develop a player like we did with hyndman last season who looked a good player in a pretty poor rangers team.
Not here to argue just voicing my opinion.

I just don't want to let Rossiter go. He looks like a young steven gerrard. If he gets over his injuries could ve a massive player for us with a huge sell on value.

Bates is definitely not a ball playing centre half nor is he the finished article, but what happened to defenders being able to defend? He was motm at pittodrie as well as celtic park because he kept it simple. He is big enough and ugly enough for his age and will only get bigger and uglier. Imo Cardoso is not suited to our league (the same could be said for Bruno) .
They've maybe been unlucky with injury and seen as scapegoats due to the Pedro connection, but with Danny Wilson finally starting to show his quality, McCrorie and Bates coming through, and Murty bringing in Martin who he knows personally and what he can bring to the table they seem like a waste of a wage to me.

Jcarr, your right in saying Martin hasn't played for a wee while but i disagree with your assumption that he will take a month to be match fit. He actually is exceptionally fit and takes pride over his fitness. He has been doing extra training and has been working with the sporting science team at Norwich. Youll be surprised. He's ready to slot into our team and won't let us down.

Spot on bigmarv, great assessment. Totally agreeðŸ‘😧

Agree totally Bigmarv05, Centre backs should just get the ball into row z and stop fecking about by passing it about the back! How many times do you see this building fae the back pish ending up with the goalie just hoofing it up the park because the ball playing centre backs are just inviting pressure by trying to build fae the back! Fecking afronting tae watch!

Bates did play well against both Aberdeen and Celtic however against Kilmarnock he was atrocious

Goalie i didn't mean he isn't fit or doesn't look after himself not for me to say as i never played at a high level far from it i mean match fit/ sharp and coming to a different league different physicallity if thts how u spell it. My point was we have plenty centre halfs i think there in a player in cardoso if he can settle think his problem is playin with bruno as if he has to b at tht level instwad of playin his own game. i'd rather have covered where we are weak fair enough signed cumming but still shy up top thts me taking herrera out the equation as i dnt c him bein a goalscorer cummings n morelos get injured whos going to do the business up top windass cam score but we need a 20/ 30 a season striker tht we've not had for a number of years apart fem young morelos as i said before not here to argue jus my opinion
