Sepp's Bladder Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Would be a class signing if we could afford it. With the money hed be wanting id worry about it taking away from the GK/Mid players we need... in the end we have laff and isma which is far from bad news.

BobbyJenkins Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Well we just sent Sammon out on loan to partick although i doubt they will be paying all his wages so i would say there will have to be something in the pot , However surely it makes sense if they have the ambition they claim to have .. Ambition within our financial parameters. He may get more money elsewhere, but I suppose you can only take what is offered so if noone offers more than we can...

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 It all went to ratshit when he left. I reckon you have to be touched if you think Goncalves is better. Not a criticism of Isma I have to say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E3OBE Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 No coincidence that things starting getting bad when Osman Sow left us. He is a seriously talented footballer. Wasn't just about goals either his ability on the ball and his ability to bring others into the game was phenomenal. Pace, skills, finishing. Can't see it happening though.

Back to 2005 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 As the OP says we should be all over this. Come on Hearts try and get the fans back on side. Pretty sure Osman would prefer us than MK Dons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the big show Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 It all went to ratshit when he left. I reckon you have to be touched if you think Goncalves is better. Not a criticism of Isma I have to say Goncalves can be decent and very good , However he has not done a lot so far and in some games been non existent . Sow playing with men he can link up with is different class and a fans favorite , Not being funny we should be all over this and virtually pleading with him to come back , i actually cannot believe some of the comments it is mind boggling to think what Sow could give to our team and bring back the feel ,good factor within the stands . everybody to there own opinion though ..

Goodfella Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Rose tinted glasses, guaranteed Isma will have a better season record if he stays for 1 and a half seasons than Sow did, playing in arguably a poorer team. Not saying Sow isn't a good player - loved him at Hearts - but not sure he would be more effective than Isma or Lafferty...give them time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gashauskis9 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Front three of Sow, Lafferty and Isma, with Walker just behind them, would overwelm any defence. Yep, just think of all the goals we'd lose on the counter attack... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well when you think the amount of players we have of loaded and not replaced or we have out on loan i would reckon there should be decent money available to bring in some quality , if not there is something wrong somewhere , As i cant believe for a minute that did not know there was certain areas were it was blatant we needed players in and Goalkeeper being one of priority amongst a few others ..

Saint Jambo Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 If it is Sow or a goalkeeper, I'd prefer a goalkeeper. Lafferty must be in out top 3 paid players. If we brought in Sow, I'm not convinced he'd work in the team with Lafferty, leaving one of our best paid players on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
