Scott Bain went on loan to Hibs a couple of weeks ago .

Agree1 Disagree1

30 Jan 2018 22:34:06
Apparantly Bain has a recall clause, and Palace did this previously where they recalled a player to sell him straight away.

Agree0 Disagree1

30 Jan 2018 22:42:06
Yeah but I think they can still buy him with the two clubs permission maybe be ED will be able to tell us if we can. Neil Mcann was not happy when asked about Hendry did not want to talk about it.

Agree0 Disagree1

31 Jan 2018 00:09:37
After watching Aher again tonight, Hendry couldn't lace his boots. £1.5m my srse.

Agree3 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - I couldn't believe the grief Ajer was getting last week, MP, he's going to be one of many superb players for us in the future. Maybe not ready for the CL yet but he's already shown at Killie he's more than capable at SPFL level. Get a new 5 year contract under his nose asap.}

31 Jan 2018 00:14:08
I’d be very confused if we bought Scott Bain. He’s a decent keeper but unless we plan on making him number 1 then we should just be looking for a loan until the end of the season. And if the plan is to make him number 1 then that’s a disappointment tbh.

Agree1 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 07:55:02
I rate Bain quite highly to be honest I think he. Oils do us a turn would dearly love a right back.

Reports say second bid for Carson went in last night was knocked back.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 07:55:23
Well ED it's nearly 8am are we hopeful of one or two bits of business being completed by midnight?

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - YES!!!! Now calm down and get yourself off to feckin' school!}

31 Jan 2018 09:44:39
Sky reporting another bid for Carson turned down.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 09:59:18
Couldn’t agree more ed Ajer is the future of this club, he just needs time and continuity. Football fans are so fickle one mistake from a player and they are instantly not good enough. Magic pole that doesn’t make hendry any less a prospect, I don’t know if he is good enough but he and Ajer could compliment each other very well in the future as a centre back pairing but only time will tell.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 10:10:31
I have the feeling that both boyata and Simi are not going to be here much longer so ajer and Hendry could both be the future of our club.

Agree0 Disagree4

31 Jan 2018 11:01:34
😂 Rich I hope for your sake we sign somebody mate. I don't think I've seen anybody get so into a window on here. Gaun yersel!

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 11:23:28
Good contributor is Rich T loving his daily questions to Ed keeps us all updated with info 😉

There may be a dip in posts tomorrow but he could well be soggy later haha.

31 Jan 2018 12:48:33
No bad stan (y) :-D.

Agree1 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 13:35:49
Ed, Ajer is going to be utterly brilliant for us and I totally agree about a new contract. I too shook my head when reading in various places he wouldn't fit the bill. Every game he plays he improved and we have to remember he's still a pup. He needs to be played and the remainder if the season will see him get more tactically aware. I'm actually confident we can give the Ruskies a game now.

I still hope we bring in another CB able to play against them and give us options. Young Kouassi looked brilliant too and Ntcham, who I admit I had doubts over has booted my doubts down my throat and I couldn't be happier.

What about wee Kieran anaw? I couldn't love that boy more if he was my own son.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - It's looking like Hendry will be the only other CB bought. I'm hearing a fee has been agreed with Dundee but we'll need to wait and see if he's coming in this window or not.}

31 Jan 2018 13:48:47
SOS I was just pissed at McCann trying to feck us about. The boy might be a good prospect but I would have Ajer in every game he's fit. If Hendry could improve us again I would welcome the boy.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 16:03:30
Aye we really don’t know how the boy will be but I like us signing homegrown talent and developing them. I’m in complete agreement with Ajer you don’t captain a team at 17 unless you have the minerals that’s for sure! Get Ajer signed up!

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Jan 2018 16:08:16
Any truth in rangers trying to hijack Hendry move.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Jan 2018 22:06:02
Mystery how we only scored 3. thought we played well, lovely bit of skill from Musonda in the box👍.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

30 Jan 2018 21:58:25
That's more like it. Team played some very nice football and should have been out of sight by half time. Some excellent individual performances. There is no reason why Kouassi can't make that position his own he was fantastic. I also think there is plenty to come from Edouard, great link up play with Dembele and he puts in a great deal of effort off the ball, plenty to work on with him. With players soon to be coming back from injury we will be in a good place. We did not look jaded at all maybe Charly coming in has given everyone a much needed lift. A good nights work by all.

Interesting team. kt and Forrest wing backs three defence minded midfielders. Two strikers! definitely a change of tactics from the 4-0 drubbing. Time will tell.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Jan 2018 18:47:01
I tbouvht it was wilso that was going to be the su goalie.

With the news lustig is now out for a few weeks a RB must be brought in before the window shuts.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

30 Jan 2018 16:01:01
Never good to see one of our lads injured. but could be a small blessing to take him out of the firing line for a while.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Jan 2018 16:02:04
JJ

How many do we need?

Currently we have Gamboa and Ralston who play there. Ajar and Boyata could fill in there too if desperate.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Jan 2018 16:17:34
You could have 10 RBs but all I am asking for is 1 good one.
Gamboa is not the answer.
Ralston is a good prospect and lustig has played well all season.
So in my opinion we need someone in.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Jan 2018 16:27:58
Definitely no need for a RB at this moment. More important areas need addressed right now. We have at least 3 players that can play there.

Agree0 Disagree2

30 Jan 2018 17:01:14
JJ

We can’t just buy a new player when someone is out injured for 2 weeks. The squad is bloated enough.

I would be more worried about who would fill in if KT got injured.

Agree2 Disagree0

30 Jan 2018 17:17:18
The point is we havnt got a gd rb. i would be looking for a new one even lustig was fit.
So the cover is put our worst ch in boyata there or our (At present) best ch half in ajer there. now that's gd going into Europe.
I don't think we can afford as a serious club to get spanked in the champions league and the Europa league.
I do agree about kt. My other posts also say me need cover for him bit that may come in the form of another ch commper.

Agree1 Disagree1

30 Jan 2018 17:52:48
JJ

I wouldn’t say we don’t have a good right back but now understand your point.

Lustig has served us well and has come a long way from the player who shared the RB slot with Adam Matthews because NEITHER could keep fit.

I would expect to see Ralston become our regular right back next season with Lustig kept in an Izzy role to help him. If he doesn’t fancy that then he could be moved on.

I also would have expected Gamboa to move on in this window but that hasn’t happened so struggle to justify bringing in a fourth right back now.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Jan 2018 18:04:11
We could all play left back but the point is we need a class one of we are to be competitive in Europe. Lustig has list at least a yard and needs a rest. We don't have anyone who is good enough for what is required.

Why tinker with fixing some bits?

Get the players in. It's a false economy not to. Why risk a potential £35m in CL money and having a rubbish at Zenit for £2-3m on a good RB?

If we get in these players and beat Zenit the extra money we will earn pays for him.

Hopefully Rogers realises we don't have anyone of the class inhouse and make do and mend has fecked us up so many times in the past it's time to bite the bullet and sort it now.

Agree0 Disagree1

30 Jan 2018 19:08:19
Magic

Lustig has had a few bad games and to be honest he is probably his own worst enemy by not holding his hand up earlier and admitting he is stuggling.

He still has enough about him when fit to be a good option for us.

Too many people too quick to put a bolt gun to a players head after a few poor games.

Agree2 Disagree1

30 Jan 2018 13:27:40
Hi Ed

I was just wondering if there has been any further news on a defender.
I thought that we might bring in Steven Caulker, do you think this still might happen if we don't sign anyone else before the window shuts as we can sign him after that with him being free.

Thanks for all your work also.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

{Ed007's Note - You're welcome buddy. Caulker is training with Luton Town, Jon. The last I heard was that he wanted to stay as close to London as possible to have his family, friends and support network around him to aid his recovery.
The only other defender I know of interest in is Hendry and there will be or has been a further bid made.}

30 Jan 2018 14:37:06
Cheers ED.
I read on another site that the Dark Side might be interested in him after Wilson left that made me laugh.

Agree1 Disagree0

30 Jan 2018 15:53:42
Anyother names for keeper ED? If we try to buy at this late in the game price doubles? Loan would suit best.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Nada.}

30 Jan 2018 16:27:40
Is he good haha.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Whoa!! That's nearly funny from you, Rich (clap) Well done! :)

30 Jan 2018 16:35:12
Sorry ED just seen a name for u to check out Martinez Arsenal keeper who is out on Loan story being put out there Leeds also interested ( the Sun )

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Jan 2018 23:43:12
Ed. Have you heard anything about us interested in Lukas Hradecky from Eintracht Frankfurt.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed007's Note - No.}

30 Jan 2018 09:14:54
I hope charly bhoy is use to getting blootered by defenders and not getting protection fae refs. Because after watching the clips of him that's exactly what's going to happen.

Believable3 Unbelievable3

30 Jan 2018 10:20:00
I was thinking the same thing Kev. Tonight or the first time we play mankywell or the new club they will try and kick him up and down the park.

Agree1 Disagree1

30 Jan 2018 11:39:15
Just read an article from bt sports who talked to Motherwell manager about the offer knock back of Carson who apparently want 750k btw mentioned another choice the third pick at Liverpool any news on this guy EDs.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Ward wants to leave Liverpool but it probably won't be until the summer.}

30 Jan 2018 11:59:16
I've posted before about the treatment being dished out to KT EVERY week without an ounce of protection from the establishment and am worried that we could have another serious injury at any time.
Would like BR to make an issue of this publicly and frequently before we have half a team on the treatment table.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Jan 2018 12:43:23
It was not ward it was Adam Bogdan.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Sounds like pish from either Tw@tter or a hit whoring click bait site.}

30 Jan 2018 14:08:11
The daily record so your right ED.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Bogdan's already held talks with Leeds, Rich.}

30 Jan 2018 00:30:19
Defences to be picked and unlocked. With Charly and Patrick Roberts in the same side the football will flow.

Believable4 Unbelievable2

30 Jan 2018 02:02:22
I should probably refer to him as Charly bhoy. It will be the shout from the stands and at the telly inevitably :) . At least we have signed another cb 😉. I'll get my coat.
I'm excited. If he can run through players for us like he does in the clips then we are in for a treat. From what I've seen he won't score 15+ goals but he will open up most defences and give our strikers less work to get the shooting boots on. As a team imo we have missed a trick not having a pacy AM for too long and have needed wingers, rb/ lbs to build our attacking play. For me he won't suit every game but as an option when needed he will do well. We don't have that type of player. For the record i think he would be wasted on the wing from videos i've watched unless he has support. Final classy whipped in ball? Mabey not. His running and skill through the middle should give our cfs space and ample chances to cause problems in the box instead of dropping deep or running wide 🤞.
Good signing.

Agree1 Disagree2

30 Jan 2018 00:10:33
Had a quick look through the interweb, and ive got to say young Master Charly certainly has a superb support network from his family. Can we just sign the lot of them😁. His brothers tweets are inspiring, his mothers quite the wordsmith too. I like the vibes this whole family are sending out toward our great club. This could be very special indeed.

Believable1 Unbelievable2

30 Jan 2018 09:26:28
Let's see what he does on the pitch before getting too excited. HH.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Jan 2018 23:54:40
Whats happening with all these loans clubs are pulling in and moving out, is this a sign of the times, or they don't want to buy players (no Money)

I am not a great fan of loans but understand the need for them, but the teams that can afford it should be buying the players so the team can develop a player for long term or to sell on. It's like pay as u play players now.

If Br fails in the 10 in row, he will leave, if he make it to 10 he will leave just after.

All comments welcome, H. H. the celts are here.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

30 Jan 2018 12:06:37
I don't think the loans we are getting are a problem as they are for players out with our budget. 18 months we are guaranteed even if you buy a player doesn't mean they will stay that long. If we were loaning the likes of Murphy or Sean Goss then I would be concerned. We have Patrick Roberts and Charly Musonda. Real quality. These guys improve our team and with Sinclair Dembele Forrest Rogic and Ntcham coming onto a game no team will enjoy playing against. Hopefully beginning with Hearts tonight.
