You were on about the total limit of 5 from all Scottish clubs around the loans chat from earlier today.

This only relates to domestic loans though rather than cross-border.

Speaking of which...we've signed King Krule.

Looks like a polis mugshot

Total hostage photo vibes, he should be holding a newspaper

I disagree with anyone who has issues with the fan ownership due to us not spending a fucking fortune on players.

 

Fair enough it seems I’m in the minority. I’m not talking about players in general terms here I’m referring to the fact we have no fucking strikers and other teams that don’t even need them are signing them from under our noses for shits and giggles.

 

At some point we are going to have to outbid someone to get the players we want but as I say the vast majority on here seem content to lose players so as not to upset the wage structure.

I don’t think it’s the fan ownership model that has led to us having one fit striker, nor do I think we’d be without a wage structure if we went back to having a privately funded owner.

Obileye is an upgrade on big Bevis tbf. He's about as decent as you can get for the typical big bombscare, but dominant style CH.

I've always thought of him as a worse version of Bevis to be fair :D That might be my bias of watching Obileye each week though

Probs mentioned further back, mental we haven't cancelled montgomerys loan. Can't afford to push the boat out for Van Veen but quite happy paying a 10% of montgomerys wage to sit on the treatment table at celtic for 3 months.

Blows the bullshit budget wage thing a Killie fan was talking about right out the water

But here is a thing….We spent £1m on improving our pitch. Because it is of the grass variety. 

Killie have a shite plastic pitch that costs f**k all. 

(Glad he went there than Paisley). But one wonders how they are able to afford KVV wages….

Obileye apparently at Fir Park signing a pre-contract apparently. Good luck with him, he's hopeless. I've never saw a footballer with such a lack of a weak foot, he'd rather turn inside and use his right and risk losing it on the edge of the box than just play out his left. 

Good in the air but lazy and very little concentration. We lost our first goal v County due to him standing still dreaming and lets Simon Murray run through uncontested. 

Obileye…..Obika…. There’s got to be a song in there somewhere.

Thought celtic were picking up the wage until he's fit again.

I heard someone talking at our game on Tuesday about merging Nouble and Obileye into one competent player. Coined the term Noubileye.

We're not paying anything while he's injured is the chat. He canny play for another team this season so makes no sense to recall then restrict him from coming back if fit again.

That's absolutely fair enough, didn't realise that was the case. 

Need to be find something else to be annoyed about now, fs

On a cheerier note, if Van Veen hasn't kicked a ball since November, chances of him featuring could be slim. And we most likely won't have to play Killie again. So that's something.

He'll still score against our defence.

Pretty sure Killie are in the process of building a new training facility and then laying a grass pitch
