Presumably why he's upscaled the nomenclature. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pull My Strings Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Anyhoo, great to see Glass back from his injury and slotting into Levitt's position seamlessly. Happy to let those two cover for each other until Levitt heads back to take over at Old Trafford and Glass can step up to be first choice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Does anyone know what the “+” in front of our goal difference means? I’m sure I’ve seen it before, but definitely not for a while… 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mishtergrolsch Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 I've just re watched the highlights and from that performance (yes I know its only highlights) I got vibes of the "we only score 4" era under he who shall not be named. Some amazing movement, one twos and tidy finishes. Throw into the mix we have two of the best centre halfs since Wilkie/ Webster/ Dods and with two good full backs (Smith should be nowhere near the team unless Freeman is injured or in extremely poor form) we have balance either side now. We've not had that in years. Also, I honestly thought we'd picked up the usual utter clogger of a boy from down south when I saw Edwards initially but since about 5 games into his United career he's been an absolute beast and I hope he's here forever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard its a good thing but I'm not really an expert in the field. I think Rangers and Celtic get a "×" and not a "+" though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon the three players most likely to be targeted by other clubs in the Christmas transfer window are Fuchs, Benji and Ryan Edwards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alert Mongoose Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 I see the bookies have us at just 6/1 to win the title. That’s not tempting me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will agree to disagree, not for the first time and, I’m sure, not for the last. I’m not sure how scouting works but I’m sure there are clubs on the lookout for a big, no-nonsense centre back who attacks everything. If he keeps doing what he’s been doing for the next couple of months I think he could become a signing target. For any scouts reading this, I have dementia and Edwards is a useless haddie with a serious black pudding addiction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibby82 Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 (edited) The thing about Edwards is as well as being a big fucking unit he has a bit of football in him too. Makes such a difference having two centre halves whose first thought isn’t hoof it up the park at the first opportunity.

skinny arab Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 At the start of the season I had serious concerns about appointing Courts, was depressed at the thought of Pawlett and Harkes being in the starting lineup despite being pish and worried about splashing a decent wage on an over the hill Charlie Mulgrew. It’s still early days but I am eating slice after slice of humble pie and I’m fucking loving it. Ignoring the Aberdeen game Courts has us well set up and looking like a team that knows what they are trying to do, Harkes and Pawlett are contributing on a weekly basis and Charlie Mulgrew is fucking strolling through games with him and Edwards looking the best defensive pairing we’ve had in some time. Keep up the good work Tam/Thomas/Tom/Tommy/T-Diddy (whatever the f**k he wants to be known as) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accent-Unknown Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 The better we get, the amount of players out of contract next summer starts to worry me, especially with a lot of them being first team players. Harkes, Siegrist, Fuchs and Freeman are all out of contract, as well as Hoti who came off the bench. Would like to see efforts to get them all tied on longer deals over the next couple of months, though I accept that Siegrist and Fuchs are probably going to want to get the type of money we can't afford to give them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

velo army Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 You lads looked impressive at the weekend. What exciting youngsters do you have coming through? I heard that's why Courts was brought in, to help integrate the young lads into the team. Anyone you chaps are particularly excited about? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Firm won’t be after him. No other Scottish club are really in the habit of wasting money throwing cash to sign other SPFL players. Abroad? Doubtful. Down South? Well, given he was released by League One Blackpool to come here and it was a common thought that we’d simply release him in the summer to reunite with Micky at League Two Tranmere, I’m struggling to think of a viable side who’d think him worth the money we’d be wanting to let him go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 I've said this already, but our first order of business should be getting Fuchs on a McLean-era length of contract 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
