I think it’s between him and Kephren Thuram depends who they think is best fit, both look outstanding and would take our midfield up a notch.

What factors they knew the set up at Hearts when they loaned him out ? Is it not the loan manager’s job to do his homework on manager etc ? Get sufficient minutes built in to loan ?

No way of dressing this up Shola out.

Miggys return and basically we’re fucking massive these days.

No I prefer players who are still trying to make it and are hungry. Guys like Raphina must find it hard to move on after Barcelona, we should stick to the Botmans, Bruno’s and Isak profile of player. My ideal summer window would have us sign Ugarte, Randal Muani, Diaby and N’dicka, supplemented with a good young lb. All players I believe we could get with CL football.

Ashley/Charnley royally fucked the club was there any need to tie into Castore for 6 years. It can only be hoped that we get a larger percentage on the actual shirt sales than some of the bigger companies would offer. Castore must be laughing their cocks off, why would they give up the golden goose that has fallen their way.

If we’re signing anyone from Barcelona it should be Ferran Torres, but i wouldn’t say no to Raphina if his attitude was right. Think it’s hyperbole though, even if we make CL it’ll be players on an upward trajectory like Diaby we’ll be targeting.

Out of all the midfielders being linked think this is the guy we need.

More Arjen Robben esque going off that.

Levy fucking hates us stuff these takeover blocking cunts.

Banners draped over level 7 weather permitting and over railings should be a staple. I’m old school and like flags showing where folk are from. Beyond that I think you’ve done more than enough to help atmosphere and think it’s time the rank and file realised vocal support is what football is really about. I guess going forward if the standing area takes off, maybe concentrate efforts there a bit like Celtic do at Parkhead. Otherwise save the big displays for the big occasions.

Kephren Thuram would be a great addition, like the idea that we want a holding midfielder and number 8.

It’s entirely due to the make up of our support it’s changed for the worse. Songbook is pathetic and don’t get behind the team when they actually need it like yesterday. There’s no excuse for it we’ve been blessed with great owners, manager and a team that finally gives it all every week. What’s really worrying is we haven’t even won anything yet and we’re infested with whingeing spineless cunts who haven’t got a clue what getting behind the lads means.

If today identified anything it’s that we need pace at the back if we want to play like that against certain opposition and we need a natural DM who can put his foot on the ball, we can’t just rely on Bruno to dictate games every week.

Course he will exactly the way he refined in the league game against Man U. We lost to a team bang in form and a top manager who’s won European trophies. Howe is still a novice in relative terms and there will be many setbacks along the way, we take on the chin support the lads and move on.

I agree with making the gallowgate the centre piece of creating the atmosphere, but shrinking the family enclosure would be my preference. The current huge family enclosure is a by product of Ashley trying to fill the ground on cheap, it’s huge and must be the biggest in country by a mile. Getting groups of lads u21 going to the match together and creating an atmosphere is a must with any expansion though, but to me that’s completely different to a family enclosure which should have no part in any singing/standing end. I wouldn’t even want the current U21 section turned into an expanded family enclosure, a couple of sections next to the away support giving a bit back and forth would be far better.

More FFP shenanigans no doubt if they have done.

I’ll have to YouTube this Veiga kid but that looks a tasty line up. No Joelinton, Willock, Gordon, St Max and Wilson either. Could realistically see one of Pedro or Diaby added in the summer with the other players you’ve mentioned, if St Max left then possibly both.

Fair enough our possession stats would certainly be good with that line up.

Ferran Torres still only 23 can play across forward positions and previously wanted by the consortium before he joined Man City. Ship may have sailed and competition would be hot, but would tick a lot of boxes.

Got something against wingers ?

I’m not sure if I’m completely sold on spending 80 to 100 million on Rice, but don’t think he’d be a risk. You’d get a top proven PL player who alongside Bruno would on paper look quite formidable. Think Rice is pretty low risk in grand scheme of things, but whether he represents best value when we have other areas to strengthen would be the question.

More incentive if any was needed to expedite redevelopment.

Bellingham, Bruno and Joelinton would be a match for anyone. Back to reality and you’ll probably get Diaby, Ugarte and a good CB for the same money. Which is why at that money it needs to be a final piece of the jigsaw for any club looking at him, bar perhaps Chelsea who do what the fuck they like.
