    It's not like us fans have anything to lose for bringing this guy in. We are not payign his wages.

    More than ours minds but that is already lost at this point

    But we don't have squad limit numbers in Scotland, like in England they have a 25 man squad but we don't here?
    Is there a deadline for free transfers then? Assuming they also need to be free/out of contract by a certain date as well - otherwise I can see a big loophole in signings that clubs could abuse surely? (Thinking of things like Neymar being given the money to buy out his own contract so he can then sign for psg, what would stop a weird situation to occur that forces a player to technically be a free agent in November and then sign for whoever he wanted to?)

    Ah gotcha. That'll be the technicality then, free of his contract before the window closed.

    willing to give this guy a chance, moravcik not direct comparison but he might be another ccv or hart that needs a place he feels welcomed again to reignite his career. not the ideal candidate but gotta back the guys on the pitch, not their fault is the way it is

    Not even a comparison to CCV and definitely not hart. CCV was out on loan his whole time at spurs but looked a good prospect and was young. Hart had an incredible career before that, being one of englands best ever keepers at one point.

    Iheanacho has basically lived off being a man city youngster who had one good season and looked to have what it takes. That soon stopped and now he seems to be happy enough taking his wage with minimal effort if boro and Sevilla fans are to be trusted in their evaluation of him

    Your most likely correct. However we've so little options, he may just get the time needed to regain that purple patch again for us. Long shot, but the only shot we've got. Get your lottery numbers on, we've got more chance of 3 numbers, but it does happen.

    Normally I would be trying my best to remain positive but yesterday has seriously * me off.

    Will still support the guy if he signs but he shouldn't even be in the equation. No other team around Europe aiming to be where we "want to be" would touch him with a bargepole.

    A team in financial turmoil released him from his contract on the final day of the window. That tells us something instantly.

    Embarrassing. And I don't think anyone can be surprised or have a go at fans for being * off here. It's past that.

    Not a comparison to their situations, but I know what he means.

    If there is one manager on the planet that could motivate him, it’s Brendan. This isn’t La Liga either… it’s not even the English Championship.

    So we will see.

    If I'm Callum Osmand even I'm looking at this potential signing and wondering what the * I've signed up for.

    If Dolberg or someone comes in as no1, fair enough. But not this.

    If we are pulling in a free agent I'd rather it was a right winger... There is no way maeda doesn't predominantly now play central considering what we now have at our disposal at left wing

    His recent footage does look really really grim, to be fair.
