Koppens away to Madrid for transfer summit with multiple clubs and agents.
05 Aug 2024 15:06:35
If the Mexican trip was anything to go bye be a waste of time!
05 Aug 2024 15:07:57
Here's hoping he can work fast. We really need more quality in, just a shame we won't be able to get them in the team for Thursday at this point. Think I might have a actual breakdown if we end up starting Matondo, Lawrence and Wright in attach, and Davies and Souttar at the back.
05 Aug 2024 15:10:51
Can he bring back Bellingham with him for tomorrow night please.
05 Aug 2024 15:29:44
He's as well going to Everest better chance signing a yeti at that summit.
05 Aug 2024 15:40:24
Ger this is more thing we now attend every two months, actually started under Gio.
It appears to be the way big clubs operate, I feel it could help build relationships with agents and foreign clubs.
05 Aug 2024 15:55:55
Don't tune in for the game on Thursday yo-jimbo or you'll have missed it by 48 hours.
05 Aug 2024 15:59:05
I'd rather he was here trying to sign/ sell players to sort this mess out than going on a jolly to Madrid. Seriously, there's a mess that needs sorted now before we can think about the future. Just another arse from elbow moment from our club.
05 Aug 2024 16:09:08
Sunshine calm doon mate ?.
05 Aug 2024 16:13:49
Sunshine . Do mobile phone not work in Madrid then no?
05 Aug 2024 16:16:07
Some very ill-informed responses to the original post. Some transfers will be identified 12-24 months out. As John has said, a chance to build relations, and could be a chance to continue discussions, and even to get a deal or two done. Why do some of the usual suspects take every opportunity to just bash the club? You seriously think this is a jolly? Ridiculous. I genuinely wonder if some people are genuine supporters or part time fans acting the big man on a faceless forum. Criticise by all means if it’s constructive and you have a an alternative, but the all out attacks from folk who never have a positive word to say about anything are just getting monotonous.

@ jfm63 ? - I'm clearly too used to us playing in the Europa later in the week! Thanks for setting me right!
05 Aug 2024 16:19:47
Correct John although I heard it has only been in the last 12 months or so that agents have become a regular fixture in this aswell. Can only bode well for player trading and club relations.
05 Aug 2024 16:22:24
Yo I feel the same ??????.
05 Aug 2024 16:26:14
Ger u sure it’s ko pen in madrid.
05 Aug 2024 16:47:50
Like the sound of that John almost as if you know where he is? Haha.
05 Aug 2024 16:55:28
Ibrox4 good post mate. Therapists would have a field day on here ??.
05 Aug 2024 17:14:30
Don’t see the issue with this at all.
05 Aug 2024 17:18:28
That's what I was told John, Koppens due to be in Madrid on the 5th for this, I'd assume that's something he'd want to attend as opposed to delegate it to another club official, but if anyone knows differently please let me know so I can backhand the guy that told me ?.
05 Aug 2024 17:33:09
Aye Todd, "calm doon" because everything is going swimmingly, isn't it? The amount of heads stuck firmly in the sand on here is embarrassing.
05 Aug 2024 18:10:55
Ridiculous post sunshine (there's a breach under trades description if ever I've seen one ?), you're better than that.
So we stop planning and building for the future because we can't move on a couple of players this window (that still has more than 3 weeks left btw)?
05 Aug 2024 18:13:59
Coully, no idea, I was told who was going and it’s not koppen or Robertson, things can change.
05 Aug 2024 18:36:17
Having a jolly old time reading the comments? what's it like on here, jeez it's a forum, too many twisted knickers, we all know we aren't where we need to be, it'll take time as we need to rebuild, painful yes but we will get there. No point bickering when we can't do anything about it.
05 Aug 2024 18:42:51
Calm down because you think that someone being in Madrid means they can’t do anything else to do with transfers. If someone’s available to be bought or sold it certainly Won’t be put on hold because he’s “on a jolly”. So calm down, it’s all going to come together my friend.
05 Aug 2024 18:50:18
What is the reason you’d rather koppen stayed in Glasgow than went to the transfer summit in Madrid. Seems like a good idea and think you're just moaning for the sake of moaning.
05 Aug 2024 19:13:29
You never know sunshine we might broker a deal for the next Laudrup while in Madrid, a don’t think him going there is going to be detrimental to us in the transfer market to be fair.
05 Aug 2024 19:13:30
"Acting the big man"! ???? Oh, dear!
05 Aug 2024 19:19:16
Sunshine there is no short term quick fix or a magic wand to make everything better. We're still trying to offload mark Warburton signings for God sake. Got too many players on high wages happy to sit here if no one else is willing to buy them.
Koppen signed some great players for PSV maybe he knows what he's doing that's why he's in the job surely. Koppen can't make another team buy our players any more than you can. There's going to have to be patience with the process.
05 Aug 2024 19:28:59
Coully I’d heard Tom Taylor.
05 Aug 2024 19:32:04
Could very well be that Koppen was initially intending on going but someone else took his place for whatever reason John, you could very well be correct, the thing we both know though is that we are over there being represented.
05 Aug 2024 19:55:34
I wish I had your confidence Todd, I really do, but the "it's all going to come together", has been getting spouted season after season, and we all know how it ends.
05 Aug 2024 20:21:40
SSFC aka Keyser Soze??.
05 Aug 2024 21:15:57
A jolly like he’s there for a sun tan and all inclusive beer ??.
05 Aug 2024 21:17:56
Totally agree sunshine. Ibrox4me if you read sunshines post, he gives an alternative it says stay here and try and sign the players we desperately need instead of going on a jolly.
The guy is obviously gutted the way our club is being ran rightly so, no wonder most his posts are what they are, where are the positives? Because someone has a voice and is calling it exactly how they see it, he's being called a part time fan, acting the big man, etc, wtf. Our club is a mess from top to bottom, no matter how much fake positivity you lot want to throw at it. Tbh I feel he's a breath of fresh air in here, that tells it how it is, instead of constantly trying to dress it up. I've seen around 6 or 7 posters say short term pain for long term gain, really? Are we just writing of the last 10 year and acting like things have just went wrong this year? One of the most informed posters on here is telling us he believes things could get worse for us, not many have taken notice of this, as this would be considered talking negatively of our club, all most on here want to do is Co sign each other's b. s and kid on its all a bed of roses.
