Guest GhostHunter Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Not convinced we'll see any to be honest.... VR has only got 3 things he needs to sort out over the coming 2 weeks... 1. Appoint a Manager 2. Bin some of the wage thieves that currently disgrace the jersey. 3. Give manager ?xmillion to sign the manager's players. Easy.

Coco Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Yes I think that 'pyramid' arrivals are likely. After all, we are in a cost cutting phase, why not make use of these players if they are handed on a plate to the manager? Frail has made such good use of No 28. There must be more quality where he came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serge Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Curiously, Hleb has kissed and made up with Vlad and his coach Puntus at MTZ-RIPO. They spent the whole of the close season sending him on trials with Premier League teams in Russia but since none of them took him on, he seems to have pulled the finger out in Minsk and is playing and scoring. He has been given the #9 shirt for the first time and his good form will see him playing for Belarus next week. I think I read somewhere on this website that he is coming here in June...

bighusref Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I still think we will see pyramid players, I think we always will. I also would not be bothered with that. What I AM bothered about is when they are given selection priority. Bring them in (at VR's behest) and let them fight for a place, if the new manager *chortle* doesn't rate them, they don't play, if he does they do.

I dont mind players from Lithania or where ever however when they do arrive I do not expect them to receive priorities when it comes to selection. If they deserve to play then so be it, if not then work and train harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, but thats all he's had to sort out for the past 2.5 years. Lets hope he's FINALLY going to sort it. My patience ran out a long time ago.

JamboAl Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I have no problem per se with pyramid players, managers, coaches or whatever. It's just that the standard so far has been poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well duh. It's BECAUSE the standard is so poor that most people have had a problem. If we were bringing in players from the pyramid of dung who were good enough to play SPL, we'd be delighted.

Generic Username Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Get Malofeev back here. He'll sort everyone out. A few days of wheelbarrow races and running around like a complete goon with a bean bag on your head will have everyone bucking up their ideas.

Re: Point 2 It's easy enough to say bin the wage thieves, but who'd take them? I don't know how long some have left on their contracts, but Pinilla has just signed for another 3 years (which I find absolutely astounding) . I agree that there should be a cull, but we'd struggle to give them away for sod-all considering the wages they command. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eckauskas Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 You can't really call it a pyramid. Who was the last player to join us from Ripo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were bringing in players from the pyramid of dung who were good enough to play SPL, we'd be delighted. Well duh - what does that mean? I could see you wringing your hands like an old woman at a prayer meeting. I did say "I have no problem per se", and hope that experience has taught VR etc what is needed to succeed here. Some of them have been decent players like Jankauskis, Velicka and yes, even Miko but the rest were poor or no better than we had. Some had ability (Chesney) but quite simply have not adapted to Scottish football as we had hoped. If Vlad is thinking of bringing anyone else perhaps we should recommend that you vet them first as your knowledge and perspicacity is infallible.

As have the ones about our "ungrateful" fans. And also the ones about our odious home support being responsible for our poor home form. Nor have I read any comments recently extolling the virtues of the committee and the pyramid (for the hard of understanding, obviously). It's a funny old world.

You can say in 2 words (well duh) what stupid old folk need aroung 50 words to say. We all admire you, especially the way you rise above all others and never have a dig. How childish is "well duh"?
