Any truth in the rumour that we're buying Scott Allan for £600k + McGeouch?

I rate Allan and we should go in for him at that price; thing is, I just can't see who he would replace, especially with Rogic putting in a decent shift and looking fit. Could he perhaps be Commons' medium term replacement?

Agree with magicpole the boys a bloody rangers fan not a problem but since he's slapped in a transfer request and sevco have bid 3 times not a chance he's going to them so why waste time and effort on a non starter hh

Shandy, don't believe all you read in the papers. He has knocked them back twice before when leaving DUFC and WBA, he was a fan as a weekly, not the raging diehard the press would gave you believe, and he,s decent too

Heard that the striker Alex Rae is talking about is Jonathan Soriano, the guy is supposedly absolutely desperate to play Group Stage CL football and with Red Bull Salzburg not qualifying again he wants out, he's also upset about how much they've downsized and lost all their best players last year or so.

We can't get the deal done yet because he would be cup tied having played for Salzburg in CL qualifiers so far this season. So couldn't play against Malmo even if we signed him today, so there would be little point plus the reason he wants to come to us is if we guarantee Group Stage CL football.

This would be some signing imo, it goes along with everything Alex Rae said, never played in the UK, played against us in Europe, scores goals for fun and this guy is the definition of that.

Have no reason not to believe the guy and tbh it all adds up.

Hope it happens.

No reason not to believe Alex Rae? Why WOULD you believe him?

Kev he'd be cup-tied for the Play off against Malmo. Not the Groups should we go through.

I am sure I told everyone this a few days ago, he has hardly played for Salzburg this season I think he has been injured with has been the main reason they have started the season so badly! After watching tonight's games he is exactly what we need! He would of finished off a lot of those chances! At 29 he doesn't really fit the bill for players we go for nowadays but if we could get a good 2 or 3 seasons out of him I would take him!

That would do for me gaz. 3 seasons would get us about 100 goals with this guys strike rate. I mentioned him a few weeks ago as an ideal target who would be in our price range but would still show a bit of ambition but tbh it was just a dreamers post because I never thought it would happen in a million years. Hope it's true, fingers crossed.

I would hope this is true he is a goal machine and with Alan sold to Shanghai they aren't as good a team not sure if he even played against Malmo I know he wasn't in the squad for the first leg. But he's small so if we got him then Scepovic and Stokes should go and we would still need a target man as a different option up front unless Ciftci is going to play that role like he's tried to do in Europe

Playing well early should be 4 or 5 a great night for football on a terrible pitch though. Pity the IRA songs are getting laldy though. Some people will never learn!

Hey Ed

Any truth in today's papers regarding vvd or
is it just paper nonsense. Apparently Southampton have agreed a deal which will go thru even if we qualify for the championship group stage. I hope we sign another striker too.

Believable3 Unbelievable1

{Ed007's Note - It's nonsense.}

Thank goodness for that hopefully Ed, there is no way we should be accepting £9 or £10M for him. We need to play hardball with these EPL teams who are swimming in cash, especially Southampton who make a killing from TV money on top of over-valued player sales. We should be holding out for at LEAST £12M but I would be hoping for more and maybe even a sell on clause. I would quite like to see the Wanyama transfer record broken. If we sell all our top players for between £10-12M then we're never going to possibly get £15M and above for players for real talents in the future. We need to try and take transfer fees to the next level in what we can bring in. They'll pay it if they're desperate enough and I guess they are judging by their need for a CB alongside Fonte.

We hold all the cards here and are in the driving seat, rinse them for as much as we can get and I'd like to think if any man will then it will be Lawwell.
