These rumours of a whisky guru and associated consortium, do they have legs or consigned to bin.



05 May 2017 23:23:40
@lego - wishful thinking by fans who would rather spend our way out of trouble than build solid foundations. Short memories as well.



06 May 2017 04:35:57
why not do both? build foundations spend money wisely?

we are years behind and need to start somewhere.

because our league is so slow we need celtic and aberdeen to do 1/ 2 decent in europe and get the points system up, starting every year at this round is going to drain us



06 May 2017 05:26:07
sign 2 or 3 of the rite type of players spending 4/ 5 million, you could sell for 15/ 20+ million in next couple seasons. this is the model many of the top clubs around europes 2nd/ 3rd tier leagues have been using for years, ie Porto, Salzburg, PSV, Anderlecht, Partizan etc its the easiest way to generate large income provided you spend wisely. I'm not saying go wild, only spend what budget has been agreed and any money made from sales of players, but spend the majority on 2/ 3 key assets then sell, rinse and repeat until competitive/ stable and able to hold onto quality players.



06 May 2017 14:34:09
I know its only paper talk but i must admit i like the idea of these big Ghananian / Argie brutes in our side. the idea of seeing guys like Holt, Windass and Dodoo attempting to rough up Broony and Co next season gives me the fear.



06 May 2017 17:53:16
We need someone with the strategic acumen to take us forward and I really don't see any of the current Board being able to do that. In that respect I would like to think that there is someone out there with an interest and a future plan.



05 May 2017 17:52:19
According to the sub Pedro's been given the green light to spend uoto 1 million on a key player. Not going to get much these days for that kind of money.



05 May 2017 18:37:01
Maybe a bit more than that if we get into the group stage



05 May 2017 19:26:56
We couldn't get half a Joe Garner for 1 million 😔



05 May 2017 19:56:41
He didn't say he had a million to spend on a player, he was asked by reporter. If there's a player you want that would cost a million would the board be willing to pay it n he said yeah. Might well have more than that but the reporter mentioned the fee no Pedro



05 May 2017 20:45:06
We won't get anywhere a group stage this year. Keep dreaming.



05 May 2017 21:41:00
I hope so but I don't think he'd say no.
I do not think we should bring in 12 players as I've heard. Especially 3-4 at £250-400k or so would love 2-3 established 26-28yr olds at £1-1.5m and yeah obviously we will purchase players at around £300k plus free's and loans but we must get some players OUT



06 May 2017 04:39:41
so you andy you believe we have 4 million to spend on playerS? i think given kings silence you will be let down.

however i do think we can make the group stage given our decent enough past performances in europe.

me, if your right, i would prefer spend 2 million on 2 youngsters who we can sell for money like they do.

also joe garner isn't that bad, he set up the goal agaisnt them and scored one? isn't too bad return.



06 May 2017 07:10:25
JD

Group stages? We will be lucky to get 2 rounds in the qualifying stages. Won't do anything in Europe and the manager will be under pressure right away



06 May 2017 08:52:12
I think the Europe situation should be treated realistically, we have been playing the likes of Elgin for most of the last 5 years, so not making the group stages shouldn't be held against Pedro.



06 May 2017 14:06:37
Really can't see us getting out the qualifying rounds this year especially with this team we have, we will probably get horsed out by a pub team from Malta or something like that



06 May 2017 14:29:02
If scoring in a 5-1 defeat and setting a goal up in another 5-1 defeat is you're definition of "not a bad return" then thank god you're not in charge



07 May 2017 10:35:45
I think we should at least give garner another season. Unless we get a good offer for him which ain't going to a happen. He could well get better with other players around him and in a different formation. Only one way to find out. Fact of the matter is next to none of our players are good enough to wear the Jersey so you can hardly just lay the blame at his door. Next season will show us what he's really made of. If pedro gives him that chance that is.



07 May 2017 15:04:19
Add to that an injury time winner against Partick 😂.



08 May 2017 13:28:33
I agree with the Garner statement. I don't think the guys a bad player. He's not the type to play on a centre half's shoulder he's a link up striker. More of a number 10 or a false 9 if you like. Dragging defenders out of position to allow our wingers more space in behind the oppositions defence. He's a strong lad good in the air and likes the physical side of the game. He could do well given a good run of games



05 May 2017 16:08:00
Where is the bruno alves rumours coming from i can't find anything? Solid player in his day.



05 May 2017 16:24:15
Twitter chatter, hardly surprising when both him and Caixinha are portuguese we will be getting linked with any national that's known over 30 or nearing the end of a contract.



05 May 2017 16:40:42
Caixinha started his coaching career in and around Sporting Lisbon, so imagine players like Alves and Veloso are being linked because they came through that system. Probably little truth in it, though I would take Alves, played over 33 game for Cagliari in serie A this season, still far superior to what we have, though still 1 year on his contract.



05 May 2017 20:02:23
Santos Laguna defenders Carlos Izquierdoz and Jose Abella will undoubtedly be on the shopping list.



06 May 2017 14:03:14
I'd take Alves in a minute



07 May 2017 09:51:43
I think That Izquierdoz would be quite hard to get we would. Need to get a work permit would we not? And he is valued about 2.38 million so don't know if we could get him



05 May 2017 14:37:41
Seeing people on twitter link us to Bruno Alves? Anyone heard anything.



05 May 2017 20:04:40
I'd take him in a minute.



05 May 2017 13:53:42
Just in from the shops there mate and I heard a few guys talking about a few things.
Over heard one of them saying that we have signed a scottish championship player and he is signing soon.



05 May 2017 14:31:05
So you heard punters in a shop. Won't lie, I'm convinced.



05 May 2017 15:09:14
So we've signed him, and he is signing soon? How's that work?



05 May 2017 19:05:44
aye he has agreed terms the boy. But I never caught the name they were talking about. I only heard a few parts of it because I was in Aldis and the queue was chocca and there was loads of woman talking. But I had a look at players it could be and i recon it could be the Morton defender



05 May 2017 19:47:08
He either signed or signing? can't be signed window ain't opened



07 May 2017 11:10:05
Stevie mallan please.



05 May 2017 11:52:12
Just in from work to an email suggesting just 6 players are going plus the two loanees. The six, it seems, are:
O'Halloran, Kiernan, Senderos, Forrester, Crooks and Hill.

It is also suggested that five will come in to replace the eight, all Pedro's men, mostly defenders. No idea who.



05 May 2017 12:34:03
Can't see crooks going, think he will be given a chance to impress caixinha once back from his injury, personally think he could be like a new signing if he gets a good pre season under his belt



05 May 2017 13:33:06
Maybe there is already an offer in for him which would free up cash for Pedro's men



05 May 2017 14:15:41
You don't half read some pi*h on this. If pedro has his way there will be about 6 left for next season. Crooks and his mate windass are abysmal moh kiernan garner waghorn hodgson halliday holt forrester aren't good enough. Hill Nico and senderos are finished. Beerman and bates will end up on loan in championship. Only problem is who will buy these players. Tav Miller Waldo Mackay Dodoo Rossiter Wilson and 2 goalies are only ones i'd keep.



05 May 2017 14:29:32
Only players worth keeping are Wallace, miller and rossiter, the rest aren't good enough however I fear a number of the dead wood will still be there next season. The manager really needs to bring in a min of a dozen players.



05 May 2017 19:46:33
I have on here reiterated what wee-ecky has just had info on! I said around 7 out with 7 coming in! I wonder who the 7 signings will be? I reckon 2 centre halfs, 1 defensive midfielder, 2 attacking midfielders, 1 winger and 1 striker!



05 May 2017 19:48:42
I'd get shot of tav and mckay too.



05 May 2017 19:58:32
Rossoter? we've seen him about 5 times



05 May 2017 20:03:11
Why does everyone want to keep Mackay, how often does he have a good game and I want a defender who can defend, sell tav and throw in Halliday, buy one get one free.



05 May 2017 20:05:00
Thats why he handed the board list with 12 names on it. Whether he gets them all is entirely dependant on how many of the current dross he can punt



05 May 2017 21:38:59
I agree, I'm as concerned as everybody else that a lot of this deadwood is still going to be here next season, but my Ibrox contact is really reliable. And chinabairn, how do you know what Pedro would do if he had his way?



06 May 2017 08:53:56
Need 2 strikers
