Nicolas Kühn

* source but * off Newcastle anyway.

If he keeps up any kind of form from now till May then I'm sure he will move in the summer...

20 mil is the magic number for our board....and when clubs come in offering that figure, or more, then the board bites their hand off without considering anything else i.e - a replacement or a plan b.
They'll get someone in on loan or try to tell us that we already have a ready made replacement in James Forrest.
None of this would be surprising

 

Laugh all you want, but next season, if we can keep everyone fit, I feel like we're building a side capable of potentially reaching the Quarter Finals or beyond in the Champions League, building blocks are being put in place

Solid European level keeper in Schmeichel signed up for another season

Solid back four of Johnston, CCV, Trusty and Tierney to come

Midfield is where reinforcements are required as more steel than a 32 yo CalMac will be needed to bolster that position at that level and Hatate is too inconsistent to be trusted at the top level so he'll need replaced with a different starter too

Then an attack of Kuhn, Maeda and Jota

It's all coming together, we have more than enough money so no need to sell another as we have the previous two Summers, players wanting to move on should all be asked to just give us one more season where we'll make one massive push to go as far as we can in the Champions League before then being allowed to leave in the following Summer

Makings of something really special here

 

No one bigging up our goal scorer?
Was in and out of the game but when he was in it, showed his quality.

Hope that's just a bit of cramp and not a calf injury.

 

Aye fair play. Such a calm finish.

 

That's another CL goal. So back up to 25 million if anyone is going to try and buy him.

 

Hopefully nothing too serious, tidy finish.

 

Thought he was poor going forward first half better 2nd

 

Was it his calf that went?

 

What a player we have on our hands here

 

Shat it a bit for me overall..

 

He should have done more over the two legs I think as well, Gurreiro can't really defend but he probably only ran at him about 3 times over the two games.

Was unlucky with that first chance tonight as he couldn't really get a good strike at it and good he did take the 2nd chance but he was quiet against them.

Jota actually done more damage in the games and barely played.

 

I love him. The way he glides with the ball compliments Jota's skill on the the other wing so well. We're really blessed to have both of them at the club at the same time.

 

It feels like we've still not properly seen them yet either as the games up to now they've barely been on the park at the same time if at all I think.

Then tonight they start together but it's against Bayern who keep the ball for fun.

Unleash them against Hibs, hopefully Kuhn only took a knock or cramp or that. I'd probably go with Idah through the middle also and rest Maeda again.

 

Maeda doesn’t do rests mate

 

Khun played well last night, was a tough gig for him, helped AJ bigtime, always available for out ball. That finish was so cool and that chance in first half was just too close to him to generate any power.
Hope he is not injured, suspect he would have been subbed anyway.
