Whilst I agree Rico, the issue will be the second we have that sort of money, the price of any player that could be within our range i.e Marquiss or fitever his name is, is going to sky rocket. We will also require to spend some on a half decent centre back to replace him. Even if Reynolds wasn't out for up to six month, he wouldn't be the answer imho

Defoe, £130k a week, three year contract I am going to laugh my cock off when English football goes tits up......... Note when NOT If.

One word WAGES

My understanding is that requires to be paid before they will release his registration ?

Regarding Coulibally, there are 1.5 million reasons why that one isn't going to happen and all of them are $'s

Right back for the first three league games....thereafter

Agreed.

Cerny will require to be registered and will be on the bench tomorrow night as Craddock picked up an injury on Monday evening

Watford hold an option to recall Hoban in January.

Win win.....hopefully Rogers gets plenty game time at Helen.

And it takes 73 seconds

Mmmm, 24 year old and a grand total of 70 career games. I'll reserve judgement at present. Love his wikipedia page Thomas "the hun skelper" Hoban :

And it will DD

Agreed. Difficult as a youngster to spend most of your time on the subs bench getting five or ten minutes at the end of the game and expected to change the outcome. I reckon Shankland will probably end up playing in the SPL but it'll be with a St Johnstone/Dundee/Kilmarnock or the likes.

£10m plus 25% sell on clause and Scott McKenna is yours

So back on track, has anyone made any provisional plans for a wee trip to Istanbul should we see off the 7th best team in the best league in the world

Sorry can't help you but wishing you every success in your search Emma

So John Egan (anyone ever heard of him ?) has just signed for Sheffield Utd for £6m. Anyone now think we shouldn't be holding out for a minimum £5m plus add ons for McKenna This is the nature of the market in Engerlund

Istanbul Basaksehir finished third last season

Fucking awful draw if we get through

Difference being of course that your matches against them actually meant something and were competitive

Rooney has been a good servant to the club BUT that doesn't mean we should just release him for free, particularly to a club that want him and have cash. As has been said already, I hope the deal for his replacement is in the bag.
