RandomGuy. Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Geoff Browns interview (Link) interesting too, for a variety of reasons, as he seems to confirm he turned down a lot of people trying to buy the club as they wanted to sell some of the land included in the deal, whereas it sounds like Webb wants to keep the land and do something for the club/fans with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will they though? Tomorrow will gauge where they are mentally and whether they're capable to go out and play with confidence as favourites or shit the bed due to expectation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye. A few folk who've been coasting, on the pitch and off it, about to get an almighty foot up the arse if they're expecting to get away with it any longer. Step up or f**k off time boys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 (edited) Levein saying he wants another CB and winger. Views Essel as a CM option at the moment. Confirms Raymond signed but going through visa stuff. Essel might not be able to play tomorrow because of that too. Edited July 12 by RandomGuy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankChickens1 Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 I used to never buy football kits but since living abroad have got quite into it as something to wear down the gym. In recent years I've bought the purple/green away, last season's home and third, and the new home. All Macron 4XL. You could fit two of me in the purple/green and this season's home 4XL. Last season's home 4XL is too small. The black 3rd kit 4XL fits perfectly. Quite frustrating. I'm an XL down the high street. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much this I imagine. Doubt he wants to go full MacLean and tell everyone he thinks Ferguson/Max/Smiths are shitebags but he can't replace them until some of them leave. He said Essel is viewed as his Phillips replacement, so wonder if he rates him highly enough we'll see him and Sprangler start a lot? That feels kind of "dogs of war"-y is Essel is good, but gives you a Paton/Muzz midfield again so there's a lot of load on others to help on the ball.

Costanza Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Why explicitly say he wants a centre half and a winger then? Surely that upsets the players already in those areas? We certainly can’t afford to be upsetting Josh McPake. He might demand a transfer or go on strike. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We certainly can’t afford to be upsetting Josh McPake. He might demand a transfer or go on strike. He just said those were the "next priority", I'm sure. And both are short on numbers really so makes sense. He mentioned in the same article about thinking Essel is a CM to him just now, and that Raymond is just waiting on work permit stuff, so what other position are you hoping he talked about? It does worry me that he's hinted there that he sees Carey as more of a CM? So would be new winger/Wright/Steven/McPake fighting for the winger roles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tree house tam Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 (edited) I'm waiting to judge them until later today. The squad that plays today will change by 4 or 5 players, as well as some moving into their preferred positions, they'll all presumably be first 11 players that come in and that'll make a huge difference going forward. If the players fail against Brechin then they'll deserve the scrutiny that's coming, mainly because a few of them will be in our first 11 and should be FAR better than their opponents. Edit to add; it may be a few more than 5 first teamers if Essel and Raymond can't play. Uche, Clark, Essel, Raymond with possibly Carey and Keltjens out of position then another two or three to come in, that's a fair chunk of the first eleven/fifteen TBF. Also looks like Rae is our first choice at the minute but we could bring in another there as well. Our squad could look f**k all like today come mid August.

Costanza Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 8 minutes ago, RandomGuy. said: so what other position are you hoping he talked about? I think an argument can quite easily be made that we need strengthened in every position. Appreciate he can’t come out and say that but nor does he need to specify two positions, just say something very generic and move on. We look chronically understrength for the new season, even some of our “better” players have huge question marks over them concerning staying fit. As Tam says though let’s see what happens today. I’ve been feeling quite optimistic this week with Webb being confirmed and making the right noises. Then look at our squad and remember who the manager is and it sets off a darkness spiral. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW this was the complete quote, as I can be bad at making things sound different and don't know if I've done that here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tree house tam Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 (edited) What's the thoughts on Raymond getting a work permit? Is there any doubts or does it look straight forward? Edited July 13 by tree house tam 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costanza Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Quotes are fair enough @RandomGuy. I’m probably picking faults as don’t like CL very much. Good to see Nicky Clark is injured again. Never saw that coming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve lost three first choice centre backs and replaced them with one and a half. Wingers we were already short on and brought in a project player and promoted a youth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
