Reports today have linked us
with le mans centre half Marko Basa, who is valued by his club at £7.5m, but, we hope to get him for around £4.5m.
It’s obvious that we are in the market for a centre half and have already been linked with Berra of Hearts, Stranzal of Spartak Moscow and Tamas from Auxerre.
The revolving door looks like it will be trying to him Lee Naylor on the arse, as he is rumoured to have family difficulties and wants to return south. According to reports, Sunderland are ready to “ test our resolve” with a £2 million bid. I don’t think our resolve will stand that kind of test and it will be thanks lee and see you later....
Bit of a shock this morning when it became apparent that John Kennedy has joined Motherwell on a six month loan deal, though it will be good for him to get some first team action and fingers crossed for the big man.
So... who will drop out to accommodate the new centre half, because if we are paying £4.5m for him he will be first choice that for sure. Big Mick, the new number 4 and team captain, could it be Gary Caldwell who was fantastic in the run in, or will it be Henry the mild mannered Janitor? – that’s for the auld yins....
I’m not sure, wgs has always as far as I know stuck to a rigid 442 and I can’t see this changing.... so who to drop out – thoughts ???? for me it should be.... shit I just don’t know, as in my opinion neither McManus or Caldwell are the class that we really need to take us forward...
Big rumours that Samaras and Maloney to join this week. To be honest I would take both in a heartbeat. I like big Sammy and he had a decent scoring record and scored a few big big goals in his time with us..£2m for the 23 year old big fella who has scored 30 goals in the Dutch league or £10m for Andy Johnson.. don’t you just love the premiership. Maloney will also spilt the fans, he is a cracking wee player and if rejoins it will be on our terms.. they say never go back,, time will tell, but he will be an able replacement for Naka and Aiden who both played a hell of a lot of football last season. So that’s Sammy and Maloney for a third of a tore Andre flo.......... enjoy
aye caldwell in the midf may solve the problem of trying to bring in a def midf...
jfk seemingly flew out with motherwell this morning ???
huns have withdrawn their bid for shitty.....
shitty couldnt agree terms and rangers have ended their interest in the player.. thats meeja speak for fuck off rangers
It's confirmed that him and Jim O'Brien have went on loan to Motherwell.
Good move for JFK unsure what it means for O'Brien.
aye good move for jkf. As you say its a strange one for O'Brien, given that we have brought in McCourt it would seem that wgs thought that we needed a bit of cover for the wide men and it looks as it wgs thinks that O'Brien is not the answer.
Read elsewhere that O'Brien is out of contract and has rejected a new one year deal. That cant be true as he would not have joined well on a loan deal ??
He just signed a new deal me thinks. I reckon he couldnae play LB like Ross Wallace so GS is sending him to Motherwell as punishment.
tamas in glasgow for talks seemingly ??? two centre halves ??? which one is left sided ????
yip tamas in glasgow confirmed by auxerre- white smoke this week....maloney, tamas, basa and samara's - nike friday at last.......
