I've heard through my mates dad who works for the agency company of Joel Ekstrand that rangers are trying to sign him. He would be on a free. not seen him play before, but can't be any worse than what I seen yesterday.

That defence yesterday was shocking. You couldn't slide a cd under Kiernan when he jumps and Tavernier isn't a right back. Much better at right midfield.

Ekstrand was a done but it broke down on Thursday night due to the details of the contract .
Dodoo to be announced in time to play on Tuesday night and 2 more moves to be in progress this week as the Hat wants his other 2 in to play Burnley .

That's pretty precise blue, where'd you hear that?

Win 2-0, clean sheet. Still some folk not happy! Get a grip.

A good source who has been right plenty of times before unsure why it broke down possibly a failed Medical.

Ok. Cheers.

Scott85, any halfway decent team would have scored at least three against us.
17 Jul 2016 22:19:04
Blueboy, is any chance of him signing no over? Or is there still a chance he'll sign?
17 Jul 2016 22:54:32
To be honest I don't think so think we have moved on to other targets good chance it's to do with his medical as that seems to be the reason he didn't sign for Leeds although good chance he decided to come to us instead .
We need someone ready for the first team now not sure he would be up to speed till Oct November time.

Weecheeky, I'm not massively disagreeing here that Motherwell had 2/ 3 half Chances. But if you watch football all doing the world as I'm sure you do youl see the very best who are dominating in their league ie Barcelona etc concede 3/ 4/ 5 really good chances almost every game, same with us. I hear people saying we need a no nonsense centre back etc but to get a centre bk who can defend like that and start from the back in terms of passing/ possession will cost money we currently and probably will never have. I am comfident with the squad we have to win this league.

Hope we sign another central defender. Warburton obviously holding out for another loan deal for ball, possibly mariappa still on the cards as he hasn't signed for anyone else still.

Think the criticism of kiernan and wilson a bit unfair. Most sides defend as a team, but last season it was entirely up to those pair, when defending set pieces. Nobody from attack or midfield was competent in the air or marking anyone else. Time after time, they are left exposed, as the midfield disintegrates in front of them. Halliday tried his best, but wasn't his game. If you look at it closely last season, we lost and drew a few games, because we didn't put the ball in the net. Often we had 75-80% of the play with 25-30 odd shots on goal, and yet were still hanging on to a 1 goal lead. The other team would get one or two chances and bury them. I'd be as much worried about that, than our Central Defence.

Chinabairn not only do I fully agree but it's 100% true. It amazes me that 3 people have disagreed with this statement. If you know football and watch games closely, it's as obvious as a turd in the snow. They CBs have no cover and are left exposed. The guys in front of them and beside are as much to blame as them but really it's MW style of football that's to blame. I for one don't care. I love this style of football and don't mind losing the goals as long as we win. I certainly won't be moaning and putting pressure on Rab and Danny if it transpires that they are the CBs for the rest of the season.

Tonight was a casing point oohah.20 odd shots on goal. about 10 clear cut chances one on one. And only 2 goals to show for it. We'll pay for this during season if it continues. Hill and Hodson looked good tonight.
