Personally thought all along that Long would be no. 1 next season with one of the youngsters acting as back up.
Exactly unfortunately. Keep that asset stripping going you ****ing ****s. Anybody that thought they would do anything else is deluded as they are pathetic lying ****ers.
Haven't seen it posted on here, but we've been linked with Jake Hastie at Motherwell, who's a 19 year old winger. Their brightest prospect by far. We've also been linked with a move for 23 year old striker Lawrence Shankland at Ayr United, who has 46 goals in 51 appearances for Ayr United (the only reason a club that size are in with a shout of promotion to the SPL). Both are available on a free transfer, which would explain any interest. Swansea had a bid of £200,000 rejected by Ayr for Shankland, while Leeds and Villa are looking at Hastie.
Bit off topic but thought I would share. Got my secret santa gift at work a bit late tp Hastie is staying at motherwell with a new deal. After that he will cost 5+ mill so we no chance
These sort of players you need to have a very good scouting team, they need to target them at a younger age before they start knocking in goals at league level, if you want to buy cheap and then develop them. Otherwise, you need to be prepared to pay out good money, as we did for both Robbo and Moses.
I wonder of ehab is looking longingly at chelsea and thinking, how do i get one of these transfer bans
Delighted for the lad and our club, the 'cheap' deals whilst not wishing to undermine the value of his signing will generally always get done by our owners!
If we take the same approach as we did when attempting to sign McKenna from Aberdeen that's another one that won't be happening I fear!
Robbo speaks highly of Marco during his time at City. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/mar/02/andy-robertson-everton-liverpool-derby-marco-silva
