Scottish Mag

We were linked with him and the other Southampton lad Tyler Dibling

It was July 2022 and it was only his agent that was spotted/posted on Insta. It was assumed it would be in regards to Sesko, I think mostly because his roster of clients wasn't that great. He was over a few weeks before Sesko signed the pre contract with Leipzig.

The Great British Bac-on Off....

I tried a few Paul Scholes efforts but couldn't get anything decent to work

Ordered from DH Gate on the 28th June. Arrived today and seems decent enough. Thought the badge looked dodgy at first but it appears to be pretty close to the badge on the player issue shirt.

Another assist from a corner for Tonali.

Robertson never played for Hearts...

He does play as the left sided centre back for Scotland and has done for a while now. When Arteta was playing with a back 3 he was also used in that position there and is/was used as an overlapping wide centre back. His injuries are a concern but if Howe is looking for a Burn replacement, in that he wants a left back that can tuck in when Trippier bombs forward, he is actually an ideal replacement as he has both the defensive attributes whilst being a far better attacking option than Burn when allowed to get forward.

He does, Michael Beale. But QPR are interested in him as their manager so will be interesting to see how he gets on should he move on. At Rangers it was often said that whilst Gerrard was a good man manager and had "pull", Beale was the main man behind the scenes in terms of tactics etc.

Aye the age old myth that Man United with Pallister and Bruce had a solid defence whilst ours was apparently a mess (in particular Darren Peacock getting singled out) when in reality the 95-96 season we only conceded two more goals than Man United.

Alex Bruce complaining about disrespect yet in the very same interview coming out with this...

Assuming Gerrard was a genuine target it's his coach Michael Beale (who is often credited as being the brains behind positive coaching/tactics) that would be the most appealing part of getting him in. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56298826

Carroll will sign and Gayle will probably be sold before the day is out. We break even on money in/out.......guess who wins again.

There can only be one man for the job.... http://web.archive.org/web/20060326225504/http://www.hitzfeldforthetoon.com/pdf/ottmarhitzfelddossier.pdf

Ryan Christie and Gary Mackay-Stevens of Aberdeen. Fair play to Christie for posting it on Instagram.

The Udinese keeper Karnezis signing for Watford. Another target gone...
