Speculation Thread

I see that Dundee have signed a 20 year old striker on loan from a Finnish club.

It would seem that there is a dearth of a decent, affordable strikers available to teams at our level.

Aye, the rumour was one of permanently and one out on loan. Neither has happened yet right enough...

It would seem Dundee are in a panic!

To be fair, that 20 year old panic signing has a scoring rate of 1 in 3 for his club in Finland and has already been capped.

On paper, he's a decent acquisition.

Whats the odds on Morgy being back in the B & W on loan?

Obviously Aberdeen are too having signed a 22 year old striker on loan.

Souleymane Coulibaly worth a look?

Currently training with Partick Thistle but would still be a good player at this level IMO - main issue is that he’s not played a competitive match for about a year.. 

Unless he can pay a massive fine or convince another club to, his career is effectively on hold until his Al Ahly contract expires which isn't until 2020.

A shame as he's definitely talented but he made a massive f**k up by taking the hump 6 months into a 3.5 year deal after the team ponied up a million quid for him. Hand in a transfer request like anyone else would. Don't just breach contract.

Wait . Haven’t we just signed a Scandinavian striker on loan ?

[melmac 873]

Generally need to score goals to merit that tag.

Why would tic sign a winger on a 2 year loan if they have Morgan and the ex dons geezer? Someones not gonna play.

[rabuddies 1,275]

.................... and Sinclair, who is basically a winger.  Oh, and Forrest!  Seems the criticism of their recruitment policy might just hold some water.

Ye. the winger they signed on a 2 year loan. 

[Singapore Saint 136]

Based on what?
Arzani has just played at the World Cup and, from what I watched, made a big impact on games played.
At the same time, Johnston played in Toulon.

Based on living in Australia and watching Arzani every week. That good enough for you?

Why would they sign Morgan on a 3 year deal then put him out on loan?

It could be Hayes that doesn’t play.

They did it with Ryan Christie...twice.

I know that A league is Championship level at best and he came on for the worst Australian national side in 30 years who should never have been anywhere near a World Cup they are so bad.
So that’s what I know - what the f**k do you know apart from what you saw on telly f**kface?

Touchy. I know what the standard of the A-League is like. I’ve been to games.

Just made the point, Arzani played in the World Cup. Johnston played in the Toulon tournament...a big gulf?

f**kface.

Yes, you are correct. However, Ryan Christie was 2 years younger than Lewis Morgan is now.

 

And during the first loan he ended up with a long term injury. By the time he was fit, a new manager had arrived. Those circumstances led to the second loan.

 

I might be wrong, but I think Rodgers has signed Morgan as a first team squad player. At 22, he’s too old to be ‘one for the future’.

 

Arzani has mainly played on the right and gives competition for Forest, who is a bit injury prone. Morgan competes with Sinclair on the left.

 

I see Hayes as the odd one out.

[Dan Is The Man 741]

Mikey Johnston starts against Partick today

Arzani's preferred position is on the left wing.

Whether he gets to play there or not is another matter.
