Simon Kjaer is in talks to come in until the end of the season.
15 Dec 2024 17:05:26
Oh no . Well passed it .
15 Dec 2024 19:13:32
he hasn't had a team this season so would take him all the rest of the season to get match fitness. seems unlikely.
15 Dec 2024 20:44:15
Would suggest soutter out for months but I'd rather go for someone younger with pace.
15 Dec 2024 21:02:37
Does even a rumour on this indicate Souttar is out for the season? If so, I don't think Kjaer would be the answer. A pairing if him and Proper would be slower than a week in the jail, and untenable given the high line we play.
15 Dec 2024 21:46:24
Angus. I doubt he's been sitting on the couch all this time.
15 Dec 2024 22:08:57
crcp I didn't say that. match fitness for a 36 year old player would take a while to get to. where did the rumour come from. not an exact name just an idea/ inkling of it might help. I know I am terrible asking for sources on a rumours page.
15 Dec 2024 22:17:33
Your right but he's been without a club since he left AC Milan.
16 Dec 2024 02:16:59
Can only remember him as being a solid cb nothing fancy,36 is getting on and not got a clue on his fitness levels, well over 100 caps for Denmark.
16 Dec 2024 02:26:38
Just had a look at him he's not 36 until next year and he got 132 caps for Denmark, we do need experience and it doesn't come better than that, but not sure if he could be game fit within a couple of weeks or maybe he could be within a month and can't see him looking for a big wage, as others said I'd prefer younger though.
16 Dec 2024 06:12:18
We need 2 ch in jan if souttar is out for the season.
16 Dec 2024 07:17:01
would rather sign the boy from falkirk as RB cover and play sterling at CB,
16 Dec 2024 07:17:13
If soutter is indeed out for the season it is a worry Relying on Balogun and Proper who I don't think are capable of a game every 3 days.
However finding a young CB in January that is ready to come. in and Be first choice is very unlikely. Most likely will be a short term deal/ loan.
16 Dec 2024 07:36:21
Allegedly missed 108 days of season 23/ 24 with thigh problems and muscle fatigue.
Not got a club for a reason .
16 Dec 2024 09:03:58
Nsiala isn't a million miles away from being integrated with the first team - he's starting to adapt is showing some really positive signs.
Kjaer is a sensible link and one I'd be on the fence with.
Mackenzie from Aberdeen is also strongly linked - he's a LB that can also play LCB.
And there is still chat that a deal has already been done for a LCB to join in January.
Safe to say, defence is a priority for the club.
16 Dec 2024 09:34:16
Simon Kjaer is a leader of true definition.
Something we lack as a club at the moment so it could be a good move.
Also currently doing his coaching badges so could have a future in our academy to start his coaching journey as well.
16 Dec 2024 09:42:45
I think Kjaer makes sense and if we can get his wages to fit our budget I don't see the harm. I would imagine two defenders will be signed in the next window.
16 Dec 2024 09:44:27
EHL, would you say that if Mackenzie comes in it likely means Yilmaz will be away?
16 Dec 2024 09:57:26
And he's a Top bloke, it was him who started CPR on Erikson and reassured his wife he was back.
16 Dec 2024 10:04:55
Simon kjaer even at 35years old now, is a strong, experienced good no nonsense centre half and if he's fit and healthy, i would be happy to bring a proper centre half of his ability and experience into our club for the short term and his wealth of experience, would bring a lot to our club? He's a very commanding centre half who let's be honest could play in scottish football with ease, for a good couple of seasons ?Where did this rumour/ story come from crcp2?.
16 Dec 2024 10:06:50
YoungBlue, there is always a circus around Yilmaz - most of which driven by his agents who constantly seem to be trying to engineer him a move.
I thought that our left hand side was pretty weak yesterday, so it's definitely an area we need to strengthen.
16 Dec 2024 10:50:00
EHL, I agree with that I thought Jefte struggled when Kuhn started to drift inside of him and Yilmaz was way too aggressive in his press which was the main reason for the 3rd goal you could see Clements frustration. Yilmaz does seem to be a player that at every window is on the cusp of leaving but yet still stays.
16 Dec 2024 11:04:56
John and Ibrox4Me, have you guys heard anything at all regarding crcp2 saying we're currently in talks to bring in danish centre half simon kjaer on a short term deal ?.
16 Dec 2024 11:16:35
Still have Leon King who can do a job. Give him a chance. Definitely need more back up though.
16 Dec 2024 11:28:07
Think the boys confidence and development took a big hit tbf with our terrible Champions League campaign Stuarty. But it may be worth a go?.
16 Dec 2024 11:30:22
Simon Kjaer is a cracking defender with a lot of experience most people forget David Weir joined us at 36 years old much better than what we currently have besides souttar I am all for a free experienced players coming in especially how short we are at the back.
16 Dec 2024 12:02:18
Stuarty, I think he needs a fresh start elsewhere, nowhere near the player we hoped he would be and that run of games he had in the CL when we got battered every game completely shot his confidence and I don't think he has ever really recovered.
16 Dec 2024 12:18:43
Nothing from me SWS.
16 Dec 2024 13:17:35
I'll ask again crcp2,where did you see that we're in talks to sign simon kjaer mate ? I can't see anything anywhere and nobody else on here has heard anything in regards to us talking to or being interested in signing simon kjaer ? Enlighten us ?.
16 Dec 2024 14:40:03
Nothing from me we r looking at other chs, watched on on Saturday 3 million,
Only issue I have re danish lad how long to get him up to match fitness
Imo we would have him in now training if we wanted him
Young blue issue for me is king is not a ch.
16 Dec 2024 15:54:08
What is he then john?
16 Dec 2024 16:00:44
SWS the only thing I found was astray from 2012 about him being linked with QPR but it couldn't be that could it?
16 Dec 2024 16:30:17
He's a DM converted to a CH if memory of what John told me a while back is correct.
16 Dec 2024 17:11:42
Didn't Yilmaz suggest he fancied Italy at some point? Anyway a Turk not fancying this climate might be a factor, they tell me people go on holiday to Turkey quite often?
16 Dec 2024 17:31:03
Young blue, Ballard.
