Anyone else hearing the Cordoba deal might not be completely dead? Norwich loaning him out?
06 Aug 2024 23:12:35
If Norwich don’t think he is ready for the championship why would we loan him could happen doubt it but mate.
06 Aug 2024 23:15:22
Why on earth would we take a guy on loan who was all set to sign for us and at the last minute chose Norwich instead? What a load of nonsense.
06 Aug 2024 23:15:22
Nice try, not.
06 Aug 2024 23:24:06
Won’t be signing another centre back unless we sell one.
That would need to be Souttar (unlikely due to Scottish quaota)
Davies ( point blank doesn’t want to leave)
Propper just in the door and balogun more than earns his wage.
Unless we loaned Nsiala out I can’t see it.
07 Aug 2024 01:08:58
Rangers pulled out that's what happened Norwich are rumoured to have offered all of the money upfront something that we couldn't match.
07 Aug 2024 07:28:29
Stevie why is Davies point blank refusing to leave? He does come across as a guy who is enjoying himself. Tbh he looks like a miserable sod.
07 Aug 2024 08:00:28
Be nuts to loan out Nsiala once he gets regular 1st team game time, will be our best CB.
07 Aug 2024 08:13:54
Frustrated I’m sure his mrs had an illness or something along they lines and she’s Scottish and he’s settled here with her, don’t know for sure but think it’s something along they lines, coupled with the fact we probably pay him a lot more than he would get elsewhere.
07 Aug 2024 08:47:00
Frustrated bear from what’s been said in here and in other places over last few seasons Davies wide in from Scotland, so has a lot of family here and without meaning to spread false info if this is not correct, she doesn’t keep well and so wants to remain here close to family. That’s the general acceptance I’ve been aware of for a while. Maybe others can confirm or deny this to abe the case mate?
I dare say his wages aren’t too shabby either from Liverpool to rangers unde Gerrard when wages were high.
Agree he doesn’t look very settled n happy to me either mate
Laudruo Nsiala not in euro squad and if we sign another starting centre back and still have balogun n Souttar then Nsiala would be 5th or 4th choice at best for now.
Davies really would be the one having to move or Nsiala on loan.
07 Aug 2024 08:57:38
Nsiala well off being a mainstay starter never mind best CB.
07 Aug 2024 09:25:47
Stevie and wishy thanks for the replies it makes more sense now.
I was always led to believe when his Mrs was not well he was back down south with her so I just took it she was staying down there for family and medical reason. Fingers crossed all of the medical issues are behind her for her own sake and an added bonus would be Davies can fully concentrate on his football as he has shown at times he can be a good asset to the team. No matter what you do for a living or what you are paid if your loved ones have health issues it is bound to affect your work.
07 Aug 2024 09:50:56
Frustrated u may well be correct mate, I have no definite info on this just what I assumed was common acceptance amongst fans to be the case.
And here here mate hopefully his wife has or can overcome her problems whatever they may be and he can get on with his football with us or whoever it may be this season.
07 Aug 2024 10:03:16
His mrs and her family are all Celtic fans so I assumed she was Scottish, but she could be English Celtic fans to be fair.
07 Aug 2024 10:33:33
L/ H many times you seen Nsiala play? must have been many for making a statement like that.
07 Aug 2024 10:40:51
Sorry Wishy but what does his Mrs being a celtic fan have to do with anything, regardless of whether she is Scottish/ English.
07 Aug 2024 10:56:36
am pretty sure his wife is from Barrow in furness where he originally comes from.
i could be wrong.
07 Aug 2024 13:02:50
Anyone else have info on Davies Mrs having family and being settled here and that’s why he’s not want to move? Obv we don’t want to over specultmate on their families personal problems just strictly why they are settled here.
07 Aug 2024 13:08:15
Hope we can move Davies on because we'll not sign another cb if he stays and we need another cb preferably a left footed one.
07 Aug 2024 13:18:57
StevieG2, Davies wasn`t signed by Gerrard he was signed by Wilson / GVB so its down to them if he`s on high wages.
07 Aug 2024 13:32:18
Totally agree Beale we need a starting centre back to oartner Thai propper a don’t know what side he plays on so whichever the opposite is I’m taking it that’s left?
Wsl, I thought was stevie g who signed him: ??.
07 Aug 2024 13:39:25
It's down to the club
We've been overpaying wages for ages when you get someone like Gerrard who comes from a high paying club like Liverpool our wages look poor in comparison and he was responsible for a lot of wage rises but to be fair club has done it for years and we have not learned from the past.
07 Aug 2024 13:40:44
Laurdruphagi just proves my point from earlier on about how some of our fans can go well OTT with stuff like this? How, in God's name, can you make a statement like that? And don't try and tell us you watch Italian B team football!
07 Aug 2024 13:41:21
It's down to john bennett and the board, gvb has no say whatsoever on players wages.
07 Aug 2024 14:24:30
Sunshine laudrup Hagi is prone to these kind of statements quite often z
Think he’s from the football manager generation as he often knows a lot about these young unheard of players from crazy country’s u just shouldn’t know anything about.
07 Aug 2024 14:37:56
Stevie propper is right footed mate, but played lcb last season so him rcb and lcb would improve our defence massively especially with Sterling and Yilmaz fullbacks.
07 Aug 2024 15:52:00
If you read the context of the conversation fork you will understand why I said that. We were talking about her nationality, Celtic being a Scottish team and her being a Celtic fan made me suggest she was Scottish. Read the comments before jumping in.
07 Aug 2024 16:36:08
Norwich no more ta.
07 Aug 2024 16:58:45
I get that Wishy but it's immaterial either way, get what u said, english/ Scottish makes no difference who she supports to determine her nationality.
07 Aug 2024 17:23:16
Well you don’t get a lot of English Celtic fans fork so it kind of did make a difference to to the conversation we were having trying to determine where she was from.
07 Aug 2024 17:43:04
Down south bud, she had cervical cancer and wasn't expected to make it, but found out she was pregnant and deferred treatment, had the baby and got intensive treatment, as far as I know it worked, and they had another kid, she had it from 2016, kid in 17 and one in 20, that's about all I know on it.
07 Aug 2024 18:29:09
He kicks with the right, but wife kicks with the left. Oh dear oh dear…….
07 Aug 2024 19:28:42
People blaming Stevie g for the wages every player deserved their wages look at the 55 season and what we done in the Europe league we could of sold a load more players for a lot of money the club decide not to go down this route tav, Goldson, Kent, buffalo, helander, Hagi could all of been sold for big money we chose not to that’s what we need to learn when we are playing these players big wages as they deserved their rise move them at their peak.
07 Aug 2024 19:48:58
Davies is settled guys . his aunt works in the hospital where my boy spent nearly 4 years . He won't be going nowhere just now.
07 Aug 2024 20:09:29
He's a hero at Preston, maybe try a swap for Liam Lindsay.
07 Aug 2024 20:51:40
Fork thanks the info mate. Thank for his wife pulled through and they’ve had a few kids and are happy. Things like that put things in perspective don’t they.
If he’s not going to be moving on let’s get behind him and hope he can put the kind of performances in that for him his move to Liverpool. He obviously isn’t a bad player, just something missing maybe the aggression u need up here.
07 Aug 2024 21:31:41
No worries Stevie?.
08 Aug 2024 00:47:21
My star in the sky - Only seen the highlights of Nsiala from his AC milan youth era and of course our pre season games, but that is my opinion that he will become our best CB out of our current lot, most of whom are utter gash, with the exception of Propper and Balogun.
regards CB's
Have you checked the statistics for the Eredivisie top scorer of 2024
yet?
Tip it wasn't Lammers, he wasn't even close.
Clue - he plays for the team that destroyed us in the 2nd leg of the champions league qualifiers.
08 Aug 2024 01:01:37
StevieG2 - coming from a guy that gets most of his posts wrong, that's laughable mate.
You thought Gerrard bought Davies LMFAO
Once you can get the basic details about Rangers players / Managers right, i'll start taking your posts more seriously.
NO, not from the Football Manager only played 2020, little bit earlier than that, Fifa International Soccer '93 and Virtua Striker '94 (the original arcade versions) followed by LMA Manager 2001.
08 Aug 2024 01:08:28
Sunshine supporter FC - It's called an opinion, so you have proved nothing other than to yourself that your opinion on Nsiala is not the same as mine, has nothing to do with god.
I stand by my opinion that Nsiala is currently the best CB we have at the club and in time you will see why, only him and balogun are fit to partner Propper, the rest of our CB's are bang average at best.
How funny will it be (knowing our luck) if Lammers who we sold to FC Twente and then bought Propper from the same club, if we get FC Twente in the next round, and it's Lammers who puts us out and it's Proppers mistakes that let's him score the goal/ s that end our champions league run.
08 Aug 2024 08:59:14
L/ H he's the best cb at our club is nonsense man, maybe could be but certainly is not now.
08 Aug 2024 10:03:21
Laudrup. U just eliminated our club from Europe in a round we haven’t even qualified for yet in your head.
U even predicted scorers and whose mistakes will lead to goals.
Ur away with the fairies bro. ?
U also just named certain computer games by year and arcade version etc.
u don’t honestly think we’re going to believe u aren’t a football manager geek? C’mon man.
Also mate, could u possibly make me 3 things I have got wrong?
Being honest mate it’s irrelevant who signed Davies anyway so if that’s the strength of your digs at me bro I won’t worry too much.
U claim to know about all these players from the farthest away parts of Europe. 19yo this and 20yo that. Anyone were linked with u know them and there superstars.
Not saying your not knowledgable but it certainly isn’t from watching them that for sure mate ??.
08 Aug 2024 13:42:59
give the man a break stevie the mans on a 72hour football manager binge. You are only a geek if you do 5 days with no sleep. that's why I had to stop playing it! haha.
08 Aug 2024 14:04:32
Also again why would Davies leave when we've vastly overpaid him wages wise like we always do
Said at the time we stupidly overpaid
We never learn maybe because it's different board members along the way
This is why we always struggle to move players on.
08 Aug 2024 15:53:37
Stevie back off that mate you are dealing with a sore arse.
08 Aug 2024 15:57:17
Davies and family could be Barrow or Preston fans absolutely no link or proof of any connection to celtic and even if there were it would be irrelevant . Just people pumping their gums with inane guesswork.
