That's not an ITK thing it's just a vague awareness of folk that have had a follow on certain social media platforms. Lang was another one who was on the 'follow' list around the same time. Either way Turnbull's knee fell to bits and the bold Viv went to Bulgaria where he ended up at CSKA along with our very own Tony Watt. FWIW: he was Birmingham's Young Player of The Season in 15/16.

18May1991 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Maybe we could offer Birmingham Seedorf in exchange? He’s absolutely magic but keen to take the next career step up* Or exchange Hastie? Rangers probably won’t notice. *for any Birmingham people reading this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by that article he's a free agent after his short term deal with Wigan expired on Monday. I mean there's nothing to stop us offering Birmingham Seedorf if they want him though. Right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signing pals of Tony Watt and Declan Gallagher has worked out well for us so far... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I, for one, cannot get enough of our habit of signing mercurial wingers in January. It's great when we're doing ok but they're generally exciting with little or no end product. I'm not sure that's what we need at this point unless they're going to contribute to some goals. Other than Marvin Johnson I can't think of many with an end product. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gboly was great to watch but I don't remember him actually producing very much. I loved Gboly. One of my favourites in recent years. He gave Alex Gogic a torrid time during one of the Lanarkshire derbies at FP which was great fun. He also did well to somehow escape the wrath of Celtic fans for the James Scott incident at Parkhead. A good lad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Gboly is one of my favourite ever players. I’d sign Viv based on this photo alone. It’s provocative. It gets me going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Aldo Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Gboly was great to watch but I don't remember him actually producing very much. He would skin about 5 players, get into the box and hit the roof of the Davie Cooper stand with his shot.I've genuinely never seen a player who would beat players so often and so easily. If he had any sort of end product he'd be at a much higher level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had any sort of end product he'd be at a much higher level. I just remember the football before he arrived that season being utterly horrific. I remember a game at Fir Park vs Livingston which we drew 1-1 where all we did was shell long balls to Bowman or no one and it was pathetic. We scored our only shot.And then after January we pumped them 3-0 with Gboly and Hastie running riot. He made me enjoy football again that season although he was much better at Fir Park than he was away from home. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good lad. Teflon Gboly. How he never got the brunt of the abuse after haring the length of the park to score a tap in I'll never know. Also @Ron Aldo said it was some laugh watching him nutmeg 4 players, do 10 stepovers and then send a shot half way to Carluke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disappointing he never built on that, but he made some contribution in those few months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved watching him skinning people (sometimes twice), even when it didn't really lead to anything and Gboly is one of the best dribblers (is that still a thing?) I've ever seen at the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
