    the top players we have let go were never signed as top players, so lets give the new guys a chance to do the same

    Personally I feel as though Biton may have been groomed into replacing Ledley, and was the reason for his signing in the first place.

    Not happy in the slightest at possibly losing Joe, but if he goes, then he goes with my utmost thanks.

    Sometimes yeah. Although he has been annoying the life out me for a while now so I'm undecided. :smiley-laughing002:

    I think Griffiths could be a good signing for us! We know he can score goals. And Lenny's right, who knew about Hooper/Wanyama before we signed them and we already know a fair amount about the lad. Plus, look at Stokesy. Played at a similar club level to Griffiths and he's been great.

    Best of luck to the lad.

    Hail Hail

    Can't say I'm overjoyed at the signing. Think he's a wee * but will score for fun domestically. Taking all the personal baggage aside I'd be happy with the scoring record, age and potential. With that included though I'm not a fan.
    Should add that obviously hope he proves that he's worth the baggage and is a success for us even if he is a wee *.

    It is sad to see good players leave but that is just the natural cycle at football clubs. Good players leave and new good players (hopefully) replace them.

    Maybe he can do a job in Europe who knows yet.

    Bit off topic but did yous think Hooper was CL class?

    Griffiths will fire us into the last 16 next season. I can feel it.

    Can't be * with this. Poor Balde. Just another mediocre player that will be one of Lennon's favorites.

    He was pictured at Lennoxtown shortly ago.

    All our medicals happen at Ross Hall, and the actual signings now take place at the training complex.

    I suspect the deal is done and dusted already :50:

    That's a good way to look at it. Bangura out, Griffiths in.

    Ledley hasn't left yet, bhoys. Hopefully he'll stay and sign an extension. I wouldn't be fussed either way about Sammy. Maybe is he signs he'll get his head out his *. He's really disappointed me this season.

    You always a want to see new players in the windows, but January is no big thing for us at the moment. Sure, it would have been nice to get them used to the team in time for CL qualifiers but hey ho. Your better players don't tend to move club in january and if they do, they usually cost a few bob more.

    I'm happy with the three additions.

    If there was someone else there, they would have been seen. There will be journo's and photographers all around the stadium.

    Nothing has changed for balde...he will still get game time here and there until he is ready.
    With bangbang and sammy going there is plenty space.
