    Didn't we get done for fielding an illegible player when he played? I don't know if he was English or Scottish but he really was Finnish before he got started with us.

    Didn't we also have a similar issue with that other Glaswegian lad Emmanual Eboue?

    Truestory mate, but he was about 26 when we signed him. Young and upcoming just bought back a few bad memories of how bad Stokes was for us after paying 2m for him

    I was over the moon when we signed him. Highly rated by a few. Had a bit of a dubious character shall we say .....another one

    Spent more time in the glass spider than training unfortunately, really thought we’d signed a gem at the time beat Celtic to his signature didn’t we?

    I wonder if this means he'll bring someone in on the right or bring in an out and out CF and move Isidor to the right?

    I’d hope we leave isidor up top, right winger needed for me, interested to see what we do with mayenda if hes going to be used out wide or as a 2nd/3rd choice striker

    But I thought it was a known fact that he said we wouldn't be signing anyone in January!!

    I think it'll be a forward who can occupy multiple positions across the frontline. I think that's what we brought Isidor in to do but he's much better as the 9 in our system.

    I’m glad Regis is heavily involved in whoever comes in, he found us a real gem in Wilson

    He said he has put his furniture back but some of his boxes are still packed. He must be gutted as seemed to be gagging to come here and seeing how we are going must have him thinking what could have been.

    We won't pay the price quoted especially as he's another 6 months older in his 30.s. I feel sorry for the lad TBH . Am sure Mendy worked under RLB years ago as a youth as well

    Even for the players that come here and don't quite make it, I think it stands them in good stead for the next challenge. Ekwah has learned a lot and got a bit more edge that he'll have brought to his game with Saint-Etienne. Hopefully it will be the same for Bennette and Aouchiche when they leave. Ba had some canny moments and goals for us - not sure where his carer goes next. The lads got talent but that's nowt without the application.

    I’d say goal scoring / chance making right sided forward then we’d be a force when Mundle is back.
