Kristoffer Ajer

Was our best player last season but as I've said numerous times he is a big * bag. Punt for 12 and bring in two experienced centre halfs, along with big Chris and Welsh that would be fine

 

He wants to go clearly. £12m is not bad business, but Ange will get a fraction of that to find a replacement in my opinion, and that's the problem. It will be the same with Edouard as well. I think it's a as clear as day how this transfer window is going to go.

 

The Croatian guy is looking like his replacement

 

He will go and he deserves to go and have a crack at one of the big league's..

 

He is a good player not the best defender though, but will miss those bursting runs forward... Always feel we missed a trick not putting him in as a holding midfielder.

 

"Looking like" means nothing with Celtic now.

 

To be fair, it looks like we are going to be spending close to £9m on Hickey and Vuskovic. I'm feeling more hopeful about the change in leadership right now and I hope that continues.

 

As I said, looking like means nothing these days with us.

 

"These days" shouldn't be relevent anymore. That was under the previous CEO. We have a new CEO and things look more positive already. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that he wants to change things like that. He deserves a clean slate as much as Ange does.

 

If "looking like" meant done deal then Eddie Howe would be our manager, that's what I'm more getting at mate.

 

Let's be honest. Howe * us over. McKay and Desmond will never let that happen again.

 

People are going on as if Lawwell is still here, got to give Mckay a chance

 

I don't believe that was the case, but that's for another argument.

 

I obviously can't say this for certain, but I don't think Howe * us over. My opinion is, he didn't take the job because big nose and laptop face were being forced to be his assistants. Why are they still there?

 

Howe shat it imo. No way we waited that long without him giving us the ok he was coming. He's put the brakes on it at the last minute. Regardless of the circumstances I think the guy didn't back himself to handle it here. He'll end up at some no mark championship team or lower half Prem team. A club with zero expectations and zero pressure. He'll then get another healthy pay off and retreat back to Bournemouth to relax for a couple of years whilst talking about projects and 'the right fit'.

 

I agree with that mate but your not telling me they two being thrust upon him wasnt a factor

 

No I can't see that being the case. It was months in the making. The guy found excuses not to be here in the end imo.

I think it's becoming apparent or will become so that Howe is the type that doesn't like being out his comfort zone. Bournemouth was a club on his doorstep, no expectations and he could work away happily. The stories of him wanting to take a dozen staff wherever he goes doesn't surprise me. Basically wants to take a big chunk of Bournemouth with him and surround himself in a big comfort blanket. It's not realistic and is actively, possibly deliberately putting himself out the frame for most jobs. Decent coach in the perfect circumstances but not a leader, far from it.

 

So why are they two still there then? Ange took the job knowing he would be working with they 2 wanks. Its obvious. When a manager leaves the whole lot should go, yet we are still stuck with Kennedy and Gordon Strachans no mark son. We should just get them to * and start again.

 

I'm 100% behind big Ange btw. Just making a point about they two wage thiefs

 

I think if we had got a manager from these shores they would prob be away or at least employed in different positions. Not advocating them being here but I can certainly see why it's more likely that with the Postecoglou appointment he might what to keep them around at least for now.
