    Every single one of them seem available, too.

    Dubravka- £3m
    Tierney- £3m loan Fee (buy option £12m)
    Doyle- £1m loan fee (buy option £8m)
    Podence- £8m

    Still wouldn’t touch the sides of our bank account.!

    Imagine we let go of

    Starfelt and Jota(forced on us)
    Barkas, Siegrist, Shaw, Urgohide, Kobayashi, Scales, Montgomery, Hazard, McCarthy, Turnbull, Ideguchi, Soro, Ajeti, Johnstone

    16 players out the door and bar two players… would we really miss any of the others? I don’t think we would. Kwon, Tilio and Iwata look as if they’re barely going to play. I know Iwata was a obligation to buy but if you have no intention of playing him, get him moved on. He was the J-League player of the year. Someone is going to take a punt on him.

    We could easily have replaced all of the above with 8 players and we would have been far * stronger than we were 8 weeks ago.

    GK- Dubravka
    CB x2- Nawrocki/Lagerbielke
    LB- Tierney
    CM x2- Doyle/Holm
    LW- Podence
    RW- Yang

    As I said before, not really a lover of shopping down south. Don’t feel as if the value is there but we seem to be prioritising there this year so let’s get * too it.

    Unforgivable that we are in this situation.

    Aberdeen have shown you how to invest in your squad when you make guaranteed European money! That's only 1 season.

    We have had 2 guaranteed with UCL worth £60m minimum! Over £38m in sales since January (allowing for sellons) and spent £22m so currently £16m in profit from player trading if you look at it that way!

    Tilio is injured so it’s hard to say wether he will have an impact or not but i’m looking forward to seeing him. I’ll be amazed if Kwon gets much game time.

    Where did the links to Dubravka come from?

    The transfer section on here is absolutely dead! Should be life in there especially at this time of window.

    Even ran dry of the usual “2 in by end of week, just a couple of things to to tie up” pish we hear from the ITK/KDS.

    I think people are sleeping on how much we've dropped the ball on outgoing players so far as well.

    We have a big squad full of guys never making it here. Other than players we didn't want to lose, there's been very little news about other players we know we want shot of departing, either permanently or on loan. Why the inaction? We're dragging our feet at both ends of the transfer market.

    Although I think there is still time there definitely is something else going on at the club that's slowed our transfer policy this window. Rodgers must be raging

    It is frighteningly quiet tbf.

    I'm now not expecting anything but I at least expected some rumours.

    If they want to release him they have to pay him out his contract.
