Would prefer the terracing anyway, unless its pissing down. As a Saints fan, that post makes me so envious. Aside from probabilities of making the next round, away to Morton or home to the Green Cheek - polar opposites in atmospher enjoyment level.

eliphas Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I'm surprisingly calm about the recruitment situation. Halliday*, Montgomery**, Elliot and Nicholson all seem good acquisitions so I kinda trust the manager and club at the moment * I was negative about this was for reasons other than fitba. But I did always say he'd probably do absolutely fine for us tbf ** Pre injury seemed a great start to his well career 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second of the strikers you hope we sign might just be a body but the other is supposed to be a top pick (relatively) who will hit the ground running. I've been relatively calm till now but nerves as re fraying. I suspect we'll end up with Nouble and a championship loan...just a feeling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that article earlier and tbh I think it's one of those that just translates badly. There's nothing there that isn't true - we're towards the bottom of the league, Sturm...aren't, from the POV of the progression of his career I'm sure it was a fairly straightforward decision etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It entirely makes sense from his perspective, just feels like adding insult to injury a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handsome_Devil Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Touched on this before but that's Hibs confirmed they have permission to join the Bournemouth food chain. It's obviously sad that it's come to this but you can't change reality or the modern world as much as we'd like. Dundee have basically already declared their hope to become a feeder club for Burnley and I suspect everyone else - certainly outside the biggest four - will be rushing to follow suit, ourselves included. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurrayWell Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Maybe we should try to do it with Arsenal... bring them down from the inside. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I said similar yesterday. It's far from ideal but I imagine more likely somebody chucks us a bit of money in return for a "strategic partnership" than Taylor Swift just giving it no strings attached. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YassinMoutaouakil Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 This is sounding a bit £5m loan to Newcastle but I dunno if we could be leveraging the Miller situation a bit more. Say to to some of the English clubs interested they can get "first refusal" or something in return for their Biereth equivalent on loan. Not even sure that's legal tbf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the reasons why partnerships don't work - as opposed to feeder clubs being basically reserve teams - is first refusal is entirely impractical. If Dundee do develop a superstar, how likely is it he'll want to go to Burnley and not man utd? And how happy will Dundee be at accepting a lower fee so he goes to the parent club? Bizarrely my bigger hope in this revolution is less partnerships but more business folk who are already in football look at the lack of collective marketing, shite TV deal in Scotland and feel the clubs are undervalued. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been relatively calm till now but nerves as re fraying. I suspect we'll end up with Nouble and a championship loan...just a feeling. I think I'm somewhere in between tbh. I'm hopeful that we sort the rest of the squad out in a pretty straightforward way and in fairness between Halliday, Elliot and Nicholson the signings we've made have been entirely pragmatic and sensible. It feels like that's been the profile we've gone into the window targeting. That's all fine... The worry is, of course, the striker positions as it feels everything hinges on that however the "blue chip" options seem a bit fanciful and while it's it's nice we're looking it's not helpful if they don't get done however equally it's hard to see how the more 'functional' options that might be available replace what we've lost. It's interesting to see that's Burns indicate that ideally we'd like a left back as well. I mean, I suspected to be the case as soon as the Montgomery news broke. It's a question of how far on with deals we are and whether we've left ourselves a bit too much to do in the remaining 2.5 days before the window *slams* shut. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah one thing I did think is that you're sort of hitching yourself to one particular wagon. Dundee have obviously got Beck back now but in the future would Burnley not maybe say, hawd on, you're not helping develop players for another team in our league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
