  1. Charlie McArthur who was the other U17's player I rated and (scotland u17 captain) has moved from Kilmarnock to Newcastle Utd for £350k. I imagine sell on fee added in as well. £400k plus sell on fee seems like a likely fee as previously mentioned. Interesting to see if Palace or Benfica put an offer in or other big clubs declare an interest.

  4. PPV 6.99 247.tv https://www.247.tv/gaa/register-nipl might be on NI Prem channels on IPTV but then again
  5. His father thought he was above saints level which is a pity as he is used to dealing with crosses. Could have turned us into a top six side.
  6. Looks like he is off to the fakes. https://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/20236609.graham-carey-set-return-scotland-st-johnstone-exit-cska-sofia/
  7. Possibly another ex motherwell player mentioned previously in the thread which would be preferable.

  9. Aye but if we do them a favour and take him off their hands then we can add a bit extra on the asking price for Dunne. 😉
  10. He has been deployed as a defensive midfielder for Scotland U 17's and was easily above the rest in reading of the game. The boy which I have mentioned earlier in this thread from Kilmarnock who is a defender was also a good player. At that level he was probably needed in def mid but could easily be pushed into a further attacking midfield position. For me he hasn't had the time or opportunity there as a player and also needs to develop his shooting but his passing, movement, touch and control are not in question. Tracks back well and can travel with ball but still to see him eject a bit of pace. As I said looks comfortable in a controlling defensive mid position for his age but would like to see him in a further forward position to see what he can offer as has the ability.
  11. Technically gifted, can spot a pass, can play a number of positions. Reminds me of a young Darren Fletcher. Give him a few years and imo he will be a £10 mill plus player. Sell on clause will be the vital part in the sale.
  12. Rumour that Rangers made a move for him a few days ago. Initial fee of £400k speculated. Hope Benfica get their finger out and we get a healthy transfer and sell on fee for him. Benfica the Uefa Youth League champions with probably the best player development system in Europe or the sad alternative.
  13. Livi and the unwell also interested apparently. https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/sources-middlesbrough-set-to-sanction-player-exit-with-scottish-trio-in-pursuit/
  14. Yep, Clarke got it wrong from the offset should have been a 4-5-1 from the offset against a team like Ukraine. We were driven back to a 5-3-2 from early on and never got enough control or grip of the game from the offset. Fairplay to the Ukrainian players and their manager though who exploited our set up and weaknesses. I would expect them to beat Wales based on that performance although Wales might be better prepared after watching tonights shambles.
  15. Agreed, as a breakaway / counter attacking player would be a good addition to the squad particularly against stronger opposition when we may be forced to play a bit deeper. Highlights of his hat trick against toronto back in march below. Not too shabby
  16. Give them both stands and install electric chairs. Problem solved.
  17. Deducted from bill in October. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/millions-of-most-vulnerable-households-will-receive-1200-of-help-with-cost-of-living as a wee side safety bet, put a fiver double on New Zealand with Alex Grieve as tournament top scorer.
  18. How to Save Energy. Brandolini's law, also known as the bullshit asymmetry principle, is an internet adage that emphasizes the effort of debunking misinformation, in comparison to the relative ease of creating it in the first place.[1] It states that "The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude larger than is needed to produce it."[2][3]
  19. Aye suppose so, She is taking it block by block, think that is the saying they use.
  20. Aye your right, different ages. She is still doing it at 32 and just can't break the habit. She has been referred to Lego Anonymous but as yet it hasn't produced any significant results.
  21. And that is the problem. Boots on the ground management teams that do not successfully interact enough with supporters. In the modern age, technology, communication, marketing, gathering feedback/ideas for improvement are conducted by most businesses outside of football. I see very little of this type of engagement within the game. Maybe it is time for some supporters to stand up and deliver what is required, but not being successfully delivered by clubs particulalry those of our size and income. I would have thought that SMISA would have had more of an impact with the fan ownership model and maybe in time they will but at the moment we are still just treading the same water along with many other clubs.
