    I’ve heard Sir Rowell Cummins is the only one to trust

    I will leave the real analysis to Scout as he is the expert.

    When he was first linked I watched some highlights. Highlights are obvioulsy just that but he looks to me to be really clever with his movement and can finish. I would go so far as to say some of his finishes were very high quality indeed. All sorts of goals too, getting across the defender to finish first time, or cutting in and firing home. I was rather excited by the prospect of him coming actually, so hope there is something in this.

    Wouldn't surprise me one bit if the next striker is somebody that hasn't been previously mentioned before, in fact I'd probably expect it.

    He was brought in because his style of football suited the style of the recruitment team. Poyet and Keane turned the job down because they didn't have control of the transfers, Neil accepted the role but left because he wanted control of the transfers.
    One of the main reasons we have taken the step is so if the head coach isn't up to scratch he gets the sack and he can be replaced. How much has it cost us in the past replacing a manager and half a squad because the new manager wants to rebuild, The recruitment team have been successful so far, TM role is to coach whoever is brought in and so far I would say they are the type of players that fit the system he likes to play.
    Whether we like it or not that is how the club is ran, I'm sure TM understands that, if not he's in the wrong job, I'm sure they will listen to players he suggests but if they don't tick all the boxes they won't sign them

    His stats seem decent for last season, not so much prior to that. My slight concern is that the quality of the Ukrainian league will presumably have decreased significantly since the start of the war. I know the club will have factored that in though.

    I thought I was setting myself up for that as I typed it. I'm glad this place hasn't disappointed...

    Which makes most of the "links" a load of bollocks. Yet there'll be some that hang on their every word.

    I wouldn’t touch Shankland with a barge pole. There’s a reason Celtic and Rangers haven’t picked him up. Same as the clubs in England. He hasn’t got the physicality and movement for a higher standard.
