Seriously! I can only assume it’s a decent center forward and those discussions take time. But a legit 9 changes our season and also how teams play us.
-
Miovski to return on loan until the summer to find fitness and form. Ferguson being resigned, home sick in Italy. shock return to the club for Alex miller to fill the recent vacated slot on the management team. Messi signing an 18 month deal, quoted as saying he always wanted to finish his career in Scotland. Credits his good friend jack gurr as helping with negotiations.
-
Gueye isn’t a center forward, he’s a roaming 10. You saw today he was central, wide left, and a couple of times out right. He’d do more damage than good at 9, wouldn’t play his position centrally and, in my opinion, would get in others way out wide and deep. Doesn’t have the discipline for 9, he’s is that free roaming creative type.
-
I think he’s a deep lying center mid, very much like sivert. Play them both, do they get in each others way and prevent each other from playing their natural game? Would like to see palaversa and shinnie with gueye ahead of them at 10.
-
Think we’d all agree with that, but we need to get them out than just bloat a squad.
-
No rumors of a center forward yet? Ambrose today could easily have scored a hat trick, had very good chances miovski for example eats up.
-
3-0. Job done. Again, relative to the opponent, but positives to me were morris showed confidence and gueye looked lively on return. Gueye will get sharper but him at 10 definitely helps us. Jensen looked decent too. Still need a 9!
-
Agreed, clarkson isn’t a holding mid. I’d have left palaversa even polvara in there. Think gueye at 10 looks very positive. 2-0 now, hoping we get a clean sheet for a little boost.
-
Obviously relative to the opponent but tobers continues to look solid, Jensen looks lively going forward.
-
Meh first half. Shinnie for sivert, okkels for duk. Although jimmy likes duk for some reason. Nisbet up top.
-
Great clearance from Ambrose. Easier to score…
-
To be fair, decent start from morris. Looks like if we get anything it’s coming from him. Liking sivert less by the game, too slow, caught in possession, silly fouls, gives it away etc. Alan Campbell please.
-
10’ in and not looking good at all.
-
Just watching red tv. Ambrose doesn’t look like a footballer. Doesn’t even walk/move like an athlete/!
-
I’d never have picked morris, for the pitch size but more we need those with determination and fight. Never been morris.
-
Would have rested sivert for sure, play shinnie who also has a full understanding of these types of games. For this reason too I play Delvin.
-
Not liking the line up at all. Too many changes.
-
If only it worked like the nba over here, we could give them $100k plus Ambrose Morris Macdonald and Duk. Maybe even mcgarry as a sweetener. Win win!
-
That’s how see it. Sivert is my concern, not shinnie. I feel shinnie is where he was last year during our poor form where he needs and tries to do too much. Sivert’s poor form has sucked shinnie in. At the start of the year Shinnie was outstanding, and I think that player is still alive and well!
-
Masked that, can’t edit. Fully expecting a couple more transfers, maybe more, this window. New guys have to be given time and rushes in for hearts and rangers away is a tough ask. McGrath, Mackenzie, McDonald away, who else?? I’d say duk and Ambrose (loan) too but we’re already thin up top.
-
Be patient. We haven’t signed a 9 yet and cormack is spending money!
-
We discussed squad overhaul a number of times in the last 3 plus years. I think the early season form marked that but it’s well over due. I fully expect a few to leave in this window.
-
Way i see it is we have Thelin for 3 years. At least. We asked him to commit and he said it’s long term, we have to have given him guarantees. We’re obviously and clearly backing him financially. We’ve sacked glass Goodwin and Robson in quick succession, I think talking about jimmy going is pointless. And I don’t think we should, doesn’t help and we have to accept it may get worse to get better. We had a shit squad/team when jimmy came in and his immediate success papered over that. There’s work to be done and jimmy is here for a while. Wish him well and accept he’s being given time.
-
Exactly why Morris was on the shit list for a long time. Easy to look good on a thriving confident team, but our league requires having stones to fight, work, and be brave. That’s not Morris at all. Or a number of our players. seems like teams know how to play sivert in midfield now, less time and space and he’s not overly two footed or skillful, or quick. He’s no central defender that’s for sure. He also makes a lot of mistakes and gives the ball away. If JT is honest sivert’s days as a starter are probably numbered. Maybe he’s gassed having not had a post season break, but he’s certainly not the influence he was the first dozen games. Three year contract for a 33 yr old is a little worrying now.

Never saw it but sounds like we were pretty shit? Any positives?
