The Black Pele

Thought he looked good when we played Queen of the South this season. The fact we've pinched a first team player from one of our rivals is a bonus

Teale's career isn't that different from Thommo's though I'm sure he played more top flight games in England and got to the league cup final with Wigan. Personally when it comes to appointing the next manager I'd go for someone who's proved themselves as a manager. How many top clubs appoint a manager with no managerial experience?

Might have a chance if Messi finds form and they have good defence. Usually their defence is rotten and Messi didn't do it in South Africa

Check their record. They've only made it past the quarter finals three times

Maybe playing in South America will make a difference but Argentina record at the World Cup is actually very poor for the players they have at their disposal. Lots of controversy around their win in 1978 and in 1990 they probably had the worst team to ever make the final. Good team in 86 with Diego bang on form though apparently he scored a dodgy goal against someone. On the form of recent World Cups they'll go out to the first good team they play but if Messi is at his best and they can come up with a decent defence they might have a chance

After the uproar when it looked like Novo might sign I can't believe the board would be mental enough to bring In Ferguson. At least Novo used to be not a bad player. Appointing Murray would follow the thinking of previous appointments but is there a reason he's being so heavily touted ahead of managers with similar records like Alex Neil, Gary Holt or Stephen Aitken?

https://m.mcbookie.com/?btagid=#/sports/3/meetings/126456098/events/495324300 McBookie have Barry Ferguson favourite at Evens!!! To be fair only just ahead of Murray in the odds but still a bit worrying

Does this mean our new centre half is Jason Naismith?

I suspect neither of us will win it...

And how's that?? If he says to the board in May that he wants a player and that player is still available in August but a deal isn't concluded then is that Danny's fault or the boards? Presumably you'd rather Danny gave up his pursuit of Campbell and signed some pish like John Baird for the sake of signing a player?

It's Danny's job to identify signing targets not negotiate deals. Can someone explain how he has been dilly dallying? Pretty much as soon as the season ended he said he had signing targets for this season

Disappointed not to have a new striker in but happy if Danny takes time to get the right player. We didn't rush out and sign any left back available and ending up getting Grainger who if fit should be a great asset. We can sign pish like Parkin, Guy or Wardlaw any day of the week. If getting Campbell or another decent striker takes longer I'm relaxed about that. Would rather have quality for 37 matches than rubbish for 38.
