OrlandoDon Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Hate the silence of the window, desperately keen to see some midfielders join up asap, and get on the training pitch to gel while we take the winter break to get up to speed. Haven’t seen us linked with anyone other than the other day and the Japanese left back. Crickets on baccus, thought there might be something there given he’s out of contract in the summer. since I’m bored out my mind, curious on people’s thoughts, who will have the largest transfer fee this window? Duk, bojan, McKenna, or Lewis Ferguson?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure, loads of positive reports, playing well, scoring goals, and captained the side. Plus had public praise from the manager who is keen to keep him. He seems to be seen as an all around midfielder, plus the praise for his leadership, fearlessness, and calm under pressure. Would love to see him at juve of the likes, or in the premiership. He’s a step above our league now for sure, not sure of his $$ value?!?? Given the players that move for a ton of money, 20 mill seems real value.

Fun fact, his mum was my next door neighbour when we were kids. I never played football with his mum though so probably can't take all the credit for his rise to fame.

Know huns who still blindly say that he was never good enough for them and glad they didn't try to sign him when he was set to leave us. Don't know which is the worse trait, blind faith or utter stupidity. All just because he didn't crawl over the broken glass they would have liked him to do to return to the Tribute Act. I always liked Ferguson from the day he first pulled on our shirt. A shining example of how to apply yourself as a youngster in this game and delighted to see him prospering the way he is. He is extremely unlucky for the national team and at pretty much any other place in time would have 40 odd caps under his belt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye liked him straight away then the overhead kick against Burnley made me love him. Really hope he doesn't go to fucking Juve though. Aside from personal distaste due to my Italian club leanings they are not much fun to watch. I would much rather he went to Milan whom are also apparently interested, they are loads of fun to watch.

Elgindon Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Consensus seems to be that Barron has been stalling over wages,thought to be around £1900/week,...hard to know if he actually wants to be here, given his game time. Club could argue hes only played X amount of games. Be good to know what's actually been going on Not a lot rumour wise, hopefully a deadline day sensation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicoS321 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 He's definitely the best of the three defenders we've bought. He's had a poor run along with the rest of the team, but seemed to be more himself in the last game. He's very good in one-on-one situations and reads the game well, as well as being reasonably aggressive. At 26, he's approaching peak age for a defender, so having him around for another few years would be a perfect stabilising influence. Could even be a future captain perhaps. Have we had a foreign speaking captain before? Snelders or Kjaer, were they captains? I'm thinking actual captains, rather than someone who might have just taken the armband for a game or two.

OrlandoDon Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Hard for me to say much about gartenmann as I don’t see us much these days, but I haven’t been overly impressed when I’ve seen us play. Devlin has been the pick of the defenders but given how poor we’ve been as a team, losing goals and losing games, hard to overly praise. I’ll only start to get somewhat excited if we sign midfielders! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't say he has great awareness when he clearly lacks it, is too lazy / lacks the desire to track back, and is part of a defence where only two Premiership teams have conceded more league goals this season. Jury still out on him I'd say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
