I'd blame our recruitment team for a lot but not that...the manager - Kettlewell, Hammell or whoever - will have had their injury records as well and would make the decision on gambling or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil86 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 he's also got a half decent record which worries me. What's the catch here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not what you'd call prolific for a striker but certainly has a pedigree miles above the 3 goals in 29 national league appearances we usually go for. He sounds like a throwback to SSJ etc...presumably he won't be cheap by our standards, we commit to a three-year deal and we hope to sell him halfway through. Can't fail. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dezz Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Decent goal scoring record, plays the majority of games for his current club, hasn't missed a game through injury yet this season...what's the catch here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can extend "Israelis" to "people playing in Israel" then can include folk like Strain at St Mirren. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The journalist reporting it suggesting he’s been pulled out of the squad for their game this weekend, so it sounds like they’ve taken whatever we’ve offered seriously enough. A strange one right enough though. As you say, wouldn’t have been so surprising during Alexander’s time when we weren’t averse to chucking fee’s about or shopping in different markets. Feels like a departure from what we’ve seen this season under Kettlewell though. Edited January 26 by Casagolda 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like a departure from what we’ve seen this season under Kettlewell though. Aye, I don't think it's totally beyond the pale but a literal glance at his stats, his apparent previous fee, knowing vaguely what the other Hapoel's budget was from playing us, what HTA are worth now and making some educated guesses as to their wage structure...it would be a return to the GA era and totally out of character for us now. He is ooc in summer mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, although it also tracks with what he was saying in his presser yesterday about us maybe having to be creative and looking "further afield". It sounds like one of those that may have appeared on our radar through TransferRoom 2021, 2022 - I think you linked to an article by Daws years ago about the set up where - which I'm assuming is where/how the likes of Sol and Efford ended up with us. His Wiki isn't up to date in so much it's not showing this season. As it stands far he's on 3 for this season - which again maybe makes him that bit more realistic vs his apparent 13 in 35 last season? Going by Transfermarkt his contract is up in the summer although the club apparently have an option. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alen-ozbolt/profil/spieler/245070 Edited January 26 by capt_oats 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
