    I'd be delighted with Bajcetic on a loan to buy tbh. Had his injury issues but he's a big talent.

    Even if other areas are indeed more pressing.

    The thing is, their high sales this window aren't any higher than the sales we have managed to make over the course of the last few summers. They've just sold more of their first team players.

    I actually agree that we should sell more of our players. I think Hatate and Maeda should probably have been sold this summer but the problem is, unlike Feyenoord and Club Bruges, we don't have a functioning recruitment set up that is anywhere near adequate enough to replace these sort of players.

    You look at the sales they've made and the replacements they have brought in. It's just ridiculously good planning and ridiculously good scouting. Igor Paxiao out for £27m, Goncalo Borges in for £8m. David Hancko out for £23m, Ahmedhodzic and Watanabe in for a combined £11m. Antoni Milambo out for £17m and Sem Steijn brought in for £8m. Brought in a good couple of prospects to play in the team as well, like Jordan Bos from Westerlo and Gaoussou Diarra from Istanbulspor.

    The also brought in Tengstedt from Benfica, £4.5m. I mean, where are we with those sort of deals? Their business is incredible at times.

    Unsure.

    Name me another club that has signed anyone since the window had opened.

    Basel, Ajax, Feyenoord, Como, Brugge, Salzburg, just to name a few have all strengthened. And these are clubs we should compete with.

    FROM KDS

    Just been told 2 names we've "asked to be kept informed about" (yes, really, "be kept informed about"). This comes from my mate who does some scouting for a PL club.

    Tyrique George and Edmund Baidoo. He reckons both would likely be loan options near the end of the window. We wouldn't be the only ones interested in either player.

    Yippee loan options.

    See if a minimum 10-15mil ain't spent on players in the next few weeks then protests and walk outs etc. Need set up

    I swear if we finish this window with loan signings and other pish like that I will 100 percent * Michael Nicholsons heed with an overpriced sausage roll like a heat seeking missile.


    It’ll be like that sketch from Burnistoun with the 2L bottle of juice

    Clearly no more money is being spent, simple as that. Loans only.

    Chelsea want £25m for Tyrique George and there is rumours that they will use him as part of the Xavi Simons deal as Leipzig want him. So, that's bullshit.

    Edmund Baidoo wouldn't be a loan, I don't think. He's a first choice right winger for a team of similar level to us.

    Something very strange about all this. Board surely would have to clarify the position if we went into the qualifiers without spending decent money?

    I just dont trust anything from KDS now. They have about 2 people that are reliable and I haven't seen one of them post in a while.

    If we don’t have a list of several right wingers we’re currently working down with genuine bids we are in a whole world of pain this season, we can bin all other plans until we get a winger in pronto.

    Said this a few weeks ago that we will go down the route of loans like it did in Rodgers last season the first time he was here regarding loan fest!

    Not saying this ITK is correct regarding the names but I honestly see us scrambling for loans

    They don’t give a flying *.

    It’s like that Junkie walking down the road with the pram on fire…… nothing to see here.

    The * show is now at new depths. And its taking the * out of us.

    Livescore notification from Glasgow Times. Urges us to sign Ianis Hagi.

    Celtic are * killing me this summer.
