Money can be better spent elsewhere. I really hope you’re wrong, because Ferguson was a player we didn’t fully appreciate until he left and our midfield fell apart.

If he had that form consistently then I would agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kc1874 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Quite happy he's gone, clearly didn't want to be with us. Should have took the deal off the table a long time ago.

I think Djoum has a family which will make it more tolerable but when you go there you give up your passport(can't leave the country at will), women have to be pretty much fully covered head to toe and there is little to do most of the time although certainly it is better if you have a family.

Coming from Belgium they will find it tough. Professional life can take people to all sorts of places. I doubt that when he was a young lad in Cameroon and Belgium, he expected to live and start a family in Scotland. I’ll believe this move when I see it, but would understand why he’d do it. He’s a funny player. I like and rate him, but loads clearly don’t. If he does move on, he’ll leave a big gap in the squad. Time for some of our much-vaunted youngsters to step up into the void.

I really rated Djoum, I also rate Lee, just think they’ve suffered from the lack of balance in the side and lack of a proper style and footballing philosophy. Time on the ball and the right players around them and we could’ve seen them reach their potential. We now need 2 quality midfielders as the thought of a midfield of Cochrane, Clare or Bozanic is worrying. Let’s also not forget that our best midfielder is a centre back. Probably the most balanced response I've seen to the Djoum situation. Who with any touch or finesse to their game would be committed and playing the style and type of football I've witnessed over the passed 3 years? It can't possibly be the mentality surrounding the game here where the problem lies both from the ethos coached and that demanded. You've got to try harder, run harder, further and longer, that round thing in the middle no don't concern yourself with it, the midfield isn't about playing football.After all it's not like Scotland is a back water in football terms, let's just slaughter the guy, after all it's no like anyone here would move a new job for money is it?

Agentjambo Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 I think hes planning to play Clare in central midfield alongside haring. “I always planned to play him in central midfield, but if he’s not as aware of what the most important things are then he ends up playing out on the side.

We've got a bit of competition in the forward positions now with Walker and Washington coming in. I think a centre mid will need to be added though. Few formations that central pairing of Haring / Clare could be used in. 4-4-2 Uche Naismith Mulraney Haring Clare Walker White Berra Souttar Smith 3-5-2 Uche Washington White Clare Haring Naismith Smith Halkett Berra Souttar 4-2-3-1 Uche Mulraney Naismith Washington Haring Clare White Berra Souttar Smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
