Obvs getting rid would be ideal, but to be fair, they wouldn't be completely disastrous 3rd choice players.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Yeah, was more about resting the main players, while knowing they could do a job to get us through against the opposition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 There is something in our history that would make me incredibly sceptical about bringing an 8M CB from a Scottish club like. Someone on the radio was banging on about him being "just as good as John Stones". Was it a Celtic fan? Tend to find the Old Firm lot massively overrate their own players when it comes to the wider context. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Van Dijk makes tons of errors in the SPL. That Neil Cameron who used to work at the chronicle (says it all) said that he's too good for the league so he switches off :lol: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 We've signed 4 cracking players by the look of things. Shame we look like ignoring our defensive failings but if we continue to sign players of this calibre I won't complain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Our next 3 signings whenever they happen have to be a LB, CB and a CM. IF we keep all of our current players that is. Quality before quantity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Players from Scotland rarely do well. Arteta and Larsson stick out but I can't think of many more. It's like signing from league one or championship at best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen the goals but i'm sure you can be a good defender but if the other 3 are doing their own thing then i reckon they will all look bad. For the price being quoted for him i'd much rather we tried for someone like Matip. He can play in front of the back 4 too so that would be a huge added bonus.

Quality before quantity. For the first time in a long time I genuinely think this is what our next signings will be; the manager has always said wait 3 windows and we'll have a proper team; after the signings they've made this season I am more than prepared to judge them after that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
