Anyone know what the situation is with Sands? I've been hearing and reading stuff that says apparently we're obliged to buy him at the end of his loan - surely not.

Sir struth, my understanding was we have first option to buy sands.

Difference between first option and obligation lad.

If we were obliged to buy then it would t be a loan.

If we have first option to buy, then that option should be NO!

It’s an option not obligation. I like Sands and I think he will have a good career outwith the SPL, he could be one that comes back to bite us as he’s a young lad with a lot of key attributes.

Correct John, we have first option for a fixed fee to buy him.

Did someone on here not say Sands would be Man City bound?

Btw you can have obligations in Loan contract hope it’s not tht, He’s gash.

Baxter yes I did. As that’s what city group felt.

He’s not shown that will happen. His game again not suited to Scotland

As I’ve always said would not pay more than two million. He’s a gio type player not a Beale player.
I’m sure he will leave in the summer.

Sands isn't worthy of a permanent deal I'm afraid to say.

Please get him away he is absolutely awful.

13.) 24 Jan 2023
24 Jan 2023 17:55:58
Won't be anywhere close to city. Not being cheeky but my opinion is he's mid table spfl. if he played for another spfl side I don't think we would look twice at him.

Man City?! PMSL! He'd be lucky to get a job in their gift shop.

Where did anyone say Sands was Man City bound? as a player?

16.) 24 Jan 2023
24 Jan 2023 19:06:27
Kelso what was said was Man City wanted to look at him in Europe, hence reason Gio bought him here.

That was me that said it, no time did I say he was definitely going to play for Manchester City

I’m sure one or two know it’s one off the ways they manipulate ffp,

Big Ben your comments are brutal mate. Lucky to get a job in their gift shop?! Get a grip.

18.) 24 Jan 2023
24 Jan 2023 19:51:29
To say Sands is 'absolutley awful' is ridiculous. He's still young, been played out of position most of the time and maybe not suited to our game. He's not awful at all, just not what we need.

Sorry Scotty, too harsh for you petal?!

20.) 24 Jan 2023

Gotta to agree iv saw absolutely nothing in sands to suggest he is capable of becoming a decent player, no pace, no skill, no vision just don't see what he's got.

21.) 24 Jan 2023
24 Jan 2023 20:45:54
Petal haha behave urself Ben. Is there a rangers player you actually like?

Sands would suit seria A he's technically good and great potential to develope but too soft for British football.

23.) 24 Jan 2023
24 Jan 2023 21:16:59
Of course there is Scotty! That's a daft question. Do you need me to name them?

Cmon guys, give Bigben a break, I was killing myself laughing at that gift shop line. Class Benjamen.

Don't you worry about me Bazbear! If anybody on here isn't happy with my post, I couldn't give a toss. Some on here find it very difficult and take things personal, if you dare post something they don't agree with. Tough!
Life's too short to worry what others think mate. ?
Appreciate the compliment! ?.

The abuse Sands gets is shocking, the guy came here as a midfielder and because of injury he played mostly as a CB even in the Champions League and he’s being judged in that position, he’s certainly not had a run in the team as a midfielder, saying all that if the price that’s been quoted on here is true £4 mill I’d say no but to say he’s awful and couldn’t get a job in a club shop is stupid.

27.) 25 Jan 2023
25 Jan 2023 07:05:43
Sands is a decent player has been played out of position most of his time here. But I wouldn’t spend £4m of our budget on him. £1m-£1.5m maybe.

Twacoos
I don't necessarily agree with Ben's views on sands, I think he's played out of position and still young, but valuation seems a bit high for what I've seen and there's definitely a mistake in him, that said a run at cdm might make all the difference. Regardless of my views I can still laugh my head of at the gift shop at man City line which is clearly humour rather than an insult,

Ben I wasn’t unhappy with your post lol It’s just your patter is honking. Ted Bundy, gift shops, 10p mix ups. Sands pumped your Mrs?

30.) 25 Jan 2023
25 Jan 2023 08:47:54
??? Wee Scotty boy says my patter is honking then he goes and brings a family member into it by asking If Sands pumped my Mrs?! I'm old school and believe you should never bring someone's wife or kids into an argument or you cross the line. If that's all you've got, you're on your arse wee man! ???.

Regardless of what it was Scott, you do not disrespect anyone by bringing their wife, partner, kids etc into the chat, arguement etc. Once you do that, you've lost any credibility and you're on your arse.
If it annoys you so much, then will it help If I say Sands is good enough to work in Man City's gift shop? ?
There, is that better?! ?.
