So ala Ian Harte highjack... if he's worth it? Update reading "according to journalist Alan Nixon" its the other way round.

Update reading "according to journalist Alan Nixon" its the other way round. We withdrew our interest in him weeks ago, back when Rooney signed. Nixon is a classic case of a journalist being wrong but not backing down so is framing it as a straight fight between us and Motherwell when it's not the case as we have all the people on the right side of defence that we need. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take a bow to your knowledge of Nixon but I still think and hope we will sign another CB to take Dunnes place. I see Rooney at RWB or RB and only RCB if injuries and suspensions are fierce. At LCB we have Fraser and Taylor but Fraser is a RCB really along with Bolton. Gogic has Bolton as cover too. I think 5 CB's for 3 positions is sensible but perhaps Kenny is ready but I'm not sure of that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be shocked if we didn't sign another LCB but on the basis that Balmer isn't a LCB, (a RCB who can play RWB which is what we were apparently looking for him to play) he won't have been considered. RWB - Rooney and Elvis RCB - Bolton and Fraser (Rooney as cover) CB - Gogic (Fraser/Bolton as cover) also probably have Luke Kenny closer to first team matchday squad. LCB - Taylor and a new player LWB - Tanser and currently Sutherland (but will sign someone if Sutherland leaves.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea, I assumed it would have been a done deal going by what Notts County fans (who were all for him signing for them) were saying but there would be interest from L1, I'd imagine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a piece that Bradford should sign him, and if he's good enough, and he seems to be, you'd have think he will have a few options. Anyway be good to get a decent LCB in the door over the next fortnight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping JB chooses us , but Bradford are a well supported side with a big support who finished the last quarter very strong and will be among the favourites next year for promotion. That said European football and being part of a top six SPL team has its appeal too . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 (edited) Was reading the Digby Brown stuff on the website, can’t remember an outgoing shirt / main sponsor receiving a warm cheerio before. Did I miss the minute’s applause at a pre-season game for SkyView Capital? Jesus wept, if reading corporate bolloxspeak turns you on - knock yourself out with this business bullshit porn… https://www.skyviewcapital.com Edited June 6 by pozbaird 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 “Entrepreneurial spirit” = take a massive risk using someone else’s money and when it fails, it’s not your fault. Repeat a few times and then label yourself as a “Serial Entrepreneur”. Smashing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
