LarrysRightFoot Posted January 6 Defoe and Davis are fantastic signings IMO. I can’t see Defoe struggling like some others who have come up here and thought it would be a holiday camp have. You never know though. As for Jones and Kamara they are low risk signings but they are not guaranteed to be a success. A lot of players struggle with the demands of playing for the OF.

skinnybob72 Posted January 6 Defoe completes loan switch. Rangers 2.0 are running at a huge loss, are running up some fairly large debts and they have an owner who is doing his best to avoid his financial obligations. They have just signed two players, in Defoe & Davis, who will be on fairly massive wages in terms of Scottish Football - even though I doubt Rangers will be paying anywhere near their full wages. Are the SFA / SPFL actually asking any questions about how they are financing such signings? While I don't see them going bust (sadly) they are certainly not living within their means and if they were to get into financial difficulty it would be embarrassing for those who 'run' the game if it happened so soon after the original club died.

The Fifa financial fair play rules must have something in them to prevent what they are doing being legal? Thats not bitterness much as id love them to go bust again if mainly due to the way they walk over Scottish football with no respect for others it just seems insane they can throw money at things have massive debts yet just keep doing it. Banks wont allow them to run up a debt to them as they did previously surely? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1971fozzy Posted January 6 Who says sevco are paying much of Defoe’s wages.

DUFCFan Posted January 7 United fan in peace here. We’ve been linked with Osman Sow today, and am wondering what type of striker he is. With Nesbitt, and potentially Sow, Gomis and Pawlett coming in, it looks like Neilson’s going after players he’s worked with before, so I may be on here to ask about players a wee bit between now and the end of the month.

It's a shame for him as he hasn't really done anything since leaving Hearts, but he's deffo worth in punt in that league as he's been there and done it before, he might be just what you need to make a proper title bid as long as he's kept fit.

Sow's a fantastic talent. One of the most talented players ive seen in a Hearts shirt, yes injuries are brought him but he's been had a few 90 minutes now and got through them. He would be a great signing Striker wise I'd say he is an old fashioned poacher, won't win much from goal kicks.

A great striker of the ball, scored more than a couple belters during his time here. Fitness might be an issue, it’s why we passed on him in the summer. Definitely a good player at that level though.

BackOfTheNet Posted January 8 Have Hibs signed Gauld yet? I’m seeing Hibs players getting interviewed talking about looking forward to playing with him but as far as I can see he’s not signed. Seems a little premature to be talking like that, no matter how likely the signing is. FWIW I think he’d be a good signing for them and won’t write him off just because it’s them. Just find it a bit odd all the talk being like he has signed when as far as I can see he hasn’t yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
