    Well... you had Don Cowie - he was coming to the end of his contract but think we were confident he was going to re-sign (did we have a 1 year option on him?) but when Malky left, he probably had a word with him, and he went to Cardiff on a free

    There was also Craig Conway - it looked like we were signing him, until Malky went to Cardiff and went there instead too

    From what we've heard about Mackay since maybe him being so sly isn't such a surprise!

    Think Rodgers did the same with Smith/Williamson.

    Was Tom Heaton not also close to signing for Malky but then went to Cardiff when Malky went there?
    Or is my memory playing tricks on me

    Apparantely there was lack of clarity in Cowie's contract over whether we had an option to sign him for another year. Malkie was horrified by this lack of clarity when a manager and knew it would not sit well with the fan's if Cowie followed him (although he could have gone anywhere). Lots of others left the club because they did not like the new set up.

    Yeah we were close to signing Heaton too, but once the Pozzos took over, we decided we didn't want him and brought in Almunia instead! That one was our choice over the player's

    The problem with him is Refs think he is a diver (thanks to the media ) .I was at one of the few games that i get to see each year and he was running at full speed and there player put a leg in front of him ,Fessi could not have stopped if he wanted to ,Down he goes and gets booked for a stone wall penalty

    And himself on occasions but then that is only like 100s of other players!

    Mind you I agree he probably is one who gets picked out more due to a quite public and notable incident against Wolves.

    (Wolves fans still seem to go on about it now when they play SW)

    Mind you know he'd give 100% and want to attack which is something I cannot say about many of our current squad players..

    Which Williamson are you referring to? If it's Mike, he threw his toys out of the pram and refused to travel to an away game (Swansea?) and ended up at Newcastle via Pompey, so not with Rodgers at all.

    If Fessi is the answer to our attacking problems, I´d be surprised.

    Ditto.....

    But i would have kept him in retrospect as he is a committed tryer with some skill

    An option off the bench, but that would want you make to move club would it really.

    I just hope Success can step up and gets more game time.

    i think Success is best playing wide and going inside or outside players

    Might also be worth noting his agent is Paolo Vernazza, which may help swing it our way

    £8m for a young English is good!

    Also more rumours of us going for Lemina at Juve for €20m... although never know if this is one of those where the agent leaks it to try and encourage other teams to bid!

    Another CM though... so if we get both, who's leaving? Behrami and Watson?

    A little concerning doesn't seem to be too many rumours of defenders though as think this needs more urgent attention!
