    In the year or two before before he was sold he was scoring at a rate of one goal in two games.

    He's a perfect example of a big club buying a smaller club's player and then making no effort to play to his strengths - making the deal a waste of money for them.

    It's called the transfer window effect. I wonder what percentage of deals are done in the last few days of the window and what percentage of paper articles are simply made up.

    If his "lifestyle" is based around women rather than drink and drugs it shouldn't be too detrimental to his football. Most of us have to chase around pubs and clubs to even get one woman a night but I'm sure he can send out a lackey to pick up a few and take them to his place every night he's not training the next day.

    I know some people think I'm trying to bankrupt the club but would it hurt that much to buy Mannone now?

    IF whats been rumoured to be the case is true then he wont be good for team spirit. I dont care what women they get or go with as long as they are not fiddling around with current players partners. We dont want an Eric Cantona situation here that developed at Leeds way back when do we ?

    I thought we didn't have to look as far as Leeds to find examples of that.

    Why when we can do better for alot less Now.? Vito imo can wait unless Arsenal drop the price which is unlikely to happen. I would go with a £1m now and £1m if we stay up deal, but i dont see Arsenal doing charity work anytime soon sadly.

    True but that example always puts a smile on my face thinking about it for some reason. lol. :emoticon-0116-evilg


    But in all seriousness Keeping a happy ship and team spirit/ethos is going to be 60% of the reason why we will stay in the PL imo. 40% will be down to talent.

    ****ing loved the stream of abuse from both Peter and OLM. It was like watching a fierce tennis final with the odd ballboy coming on for good measure.

    How are we bitter? every Celtic fan in this thread has said McGregor is a quality goal keeper and would be a great signing for Hull, at 1.8 million hes a steal, real bargin buy and if hes a real option for the Hull board you would be daft not to take it

    He actually played 26 times for Besiktas letting in 39 goals (1.5 a game seems a lot to me) and 34 times in total (International games)

    He played 27 league games and eight internationals.

    There's a lot of high scoring games in Turkey, they don't seem to pay much attention to defending.

    What was the abuse from me? I was always a serve and volley man but it would take me all my time to manage a serve never mind a volley now.

    Its not really a lot, as OLM said the football there is more open. Stockdale kept 9 clean sheets in 24 appearances, which means about 37% of his appearances were clean sheets. I don't know what the average for the Championship was, but I imagine that's just above it.

    I once found myself in a situation with a couple of stunning Thai girls who suggested a threesome...." it will be like winning the lottery "....they insisted....

    They were right, we all stripped off and had six matching balls.

    Fair enough, you haven't been, but I grew up and live in the West coast of Scotland and they're awful here, and a lot of them are my friends, but most definitely bitter.

    McGregor has cheated on his Mrs with a Canadian amateur poker player, that's about it.
