ED, just wanted to ask your thoughts on Shankland and the prospect of him at Celtic? Would you think he'd be good enough? Definetley looks like a great player.

{Ed007's Note - If he was going to be 3rd or 4th choice I'd take him but apart from that it's a no from me, at 24 (25 this year) he's hardly a youth with potential and his career has been peaks and troughs with the peaks always being in the lower divisions. Scoring goals in the 3rd and 2nd divisions in Scotland doesn't impress me.}

Why do people believe the myth that if you can score a lot of goals at one level you can do it at every level.
Its total bull💩💩💩.

If shankland was knocking them in for our development squad, everybody would be wanting Lenny to give him a chance, and that’s a lower level than the championship.

12 Jan 2020 09:50:04
@souny1888 If Shankland was still in our development squad at his age I'd be raging at our coaches. if the boy was say 18 or 19 then sure he would be worth the gamble but at nearly 25 it's a no from me.

Can you imagine the damage Griffiths would do playing up front for Dundee Utd in Championship?

12 Jan 2020 21:39:14
No be that if he’s at united next season and bagging them in the premier league. Then gets his move down south, Lawwell will be getting it in the neck for no signing him. The boys a goalscorer, who knows the game here. Signing a wee nobody from Poland is more of a risk than shankland!

Now as some of you may know I am a fan of Neil Lennon however when it comes to talking to the press about our transfer plans, I thinks he comes across as an absolute amateur. He said he expected two players to be signed and join the squad in Dubai. The squad fly home tomorrow and no players have been signed. It was the same during the summer when CL qualifier deadline was approaching, again he said he expected 1 or 2 signings before the deadline and guess what. No players arrived. He did exactly the same in his first spell in charge. I think he's better to keep his mouth shut and would not end up looking stupid.

11 Jan 2020 17:55:00
Everything I seen or read he said he hoped, not expected.

11 Jan 2020 18:08:29
Agree but maybe the money men told him the deals were close and are penny pinching as norm and maybe by saying that he puts pressure on them. but who really knows.

11 Jan 2020 18:08:48
He needs to keep quiet until the deals are done.

It looks like the usual window for us iceman. Going to get players in at the last minute . I know we have a fair bit of time left in the window but it seems to take an age for us to sign players . Surely ground work and discussions have taken place, surely they have decided now who their number one targets are. Coming back after a period where we haven’t really played well lately, the squad needs boosting with quality, the way the fans and club felt after the Rangers defeat we should have turned around the mood by signing early. This dragging stuff out just winds up the fans more, with the shoe on the other foot, when the Rangers lost earlier in the season the next day they signed kent. It changes the mood around the place, I’m sure we will get players in but it would have been nice for them to be in early. We should have had them in to integrate with the team in Dubai •.

Burke, Weah, Shved, Bayo, Toljan, Perez and Gutman came in during last season's dreadful transfer window in 2019/ . So we better have raised the bar this year instead of squandering millions.

11 Jan 2020 19:08:39
Pud Burke and Weah were good signings for me. They gave us something different and both played their part in us marching on to the title. The 2 American lads are prospects so can't judge them yet.

11 Jan 2020 19:28:29
Didn't Shved spend the rest of the Ukranian season on loan back to his old club? So he was never really signed to make an impact for last seasons run in.

Quinn 1888. Sevco signing Kent was reckless on their part and may well come back to haunt them.
I always want to see us strengthening our squad but I think the main thing that will decide our season is how the manager sets the team up tactically.
I feel we have better players at our club than Sevco has but Lennon is consistently being out thought on the tactical side by Gerrard and he keeps leaving us outnumbered in midfield.
This season we have managed to compete with Lazio, and finish top of our group in the Europa league, it shouldn't be beyond the players we have to get the better of Sevco if the correct tactics are used.

2 experienced players out - one 15 year old in. Sound familiar?

Brilliant ED.

@ed007, / lads
Did we get money for Sinclair and how much.
Also what is on the table for Lewis Morgan imo that would be a dream more does anyone know what we got or trying to get for both of them.

11 Jan 2020 16:04:57
Sinclair is on loan till the end of the season, then he's a free agent.

{Ed007's Note - Sinclair isn't on loan, he signed a two-and-a-half-year contract at PNE.}

sorry to say but Griff will never be a 30 to 40 goal striker again, mentally not strong enough, he's been training for weeks and weeks and is still no where near it time to go.

11 Jan 2020 10:55:39
Just had a quick look at our fixture list and six of our next eight domestic games are away from home.
That pesky 'random fixture computer' is a wee rascal. Aye Right!

11 Jan 2020 11:33:21
That's because we played more games before the break. No conspiracy here.

11 Jan 2020 11:48:44
I think we've actually had a fairer crack at the whip this season. We will have the better run in hopefully at the business end of the season. Plus we are usually shafted after the euro games and usually always away but they've split them games a bit more evenly this season.

11 Jan 2020 10:02:57
hey @ED non of my posts are being uploaded can you check cheers.

{Ed033's Note - You should be ok from now on

11 Jan 2020 10:26:30
Thanks 👍
Now to moan about what I have missed 🤭.

Bhoys and ghirls this may have been pointed out already but take a look at the itunes charts. The most worthy tune of all time is at number 1 💚⚪💛🍀🎶🎶🎶.
