But that's the game and that comes from having motivated players in your team, there's nothing there one of our players can't do April at Tynie? Was he ****.... Was it not Burns that was on him and Hibs deserved **** all from that game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or wouldve been his first choice if they were active at the time? 5 hours ago, Mauricio Pinilla said: Loads of players from that region switched allegiances to make themselves available for Kosovo. They're a really good team. Yup, he originally chose to play for Albania due to his parents being from there, his youth record for Germany was impressive and by all accounts when he decided to play for the Albanian national team he still had a bright enough future he could play for Germany one day. He could easily get a game for Albania but chose Kosovo due to allegiances. They’re pretty decent. Think if Catalonia became independent, you’d have swathes of players who’ve played for Barcelona, Spain internationals suddenly switching allegiance. Not same level obviously but Kosovo are no San Marino. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levein was perfectly capable of making a complete ****up of a forward line that included Skacel, Robbo and Colqhoun.

I’m going for either the one letter out (ala Stendel/Stendal) with Avdejaj. Or it’ll be letters the wrong way round with Advijaj. However I’m guessing most will go the Ikpeazu route and just refer to him by his first name or an abbreviated version (Don, Donny) or a nickname like Adonis. Anything to avoid spelling it correctly I’d imagine. Edited January 18, 2020 by BackOfTheNet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Levein signed someone like this he'd play about 5 mins for the rest of the season while he "got himself match fit", "picked up niggles as its been a while since he played" and "got acclimatised" etc. Amankwaa springs to mind. Don't see that under Stendel. Hope Don is ready to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't think of one genuinely good one he's signed or developed. In terms of forwards Levein signed or played a lot as manager, De Vries, Kirk, Lafferty, McKenna, Naismith and Fuller were or are all very good. Most recently, Uche, Naismith and McLean looked a promising front line until two of them got injured, as did Naismith and Washington, until they both got injured. But yeah, Steven McLean leading the line for god knows how long was not the best. Jean-Louis Valois was a decent enough wide man that Levein signed. Apart from him I can't think of anyone else.

Don't see that under Stendel. Hope Don is ready to go. Last squad he was in was an unused sub on 28th December. They’ve only played a few matches since then. Last played on 19th December in a cup game, Daniel Sturridge scored 2 in a 4-1 win, his first was a rebound from an Avdijaj shot (he’s no.7): Last league game he played was on 16th December, came on as a sub. On 12th December he started the Europa League loss to FC Basel. He started most of the Europa League but in the league he’s mostly been on the bench but did seem to come on for most games. His last league start (and goal) was 23rd September in a 2-1 loss to Sivasspor: So obviously not playing as much football as he would like, but he’s obviously fit enough unless there’s an injury I’m unaware of. Should be noted Trabzonspor appear to prefer a front three of Sturridge, Nwakaeme and Sorloth. Sorloth in particular (on loan from Crystal Palace) has scored 15 in 26 so far this season, so him along with Sturridge’s qualities (and wages) we’re all well aware of it’s not too surprising Avdijaj had found himself a wee bit down that pecking order.

Skacelsid Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Will be very happy when Donis confirmed, but it should/must not be the only one. DS is not hanging about trying to get us out of this mess and what now is a crisis. But he must get the backing he needs, his budget up til now seems to be limited because of previous incompetence and squandering of resources. Of course we have limitations, but that should not be the case. If another two or three coming in is what keeps us in the prem that would be a successful investment IMO. Today is vital in terms of our new system and a good cup run can generate funds. This can be turned round, but our coach and team must get all the encouragement they need. From all parts of our club.

BackOfTheNet Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) Imagine he doesn’t sign though. 😐 I’m trying to curb my enthusiasm as I don’t want to be disappointed. I’ve said in this thread I had a feeling we may not sign anyone based on what had been reported previously unless it came out of the blue - Avdijaj certainly is not a name you’d expect anywhere near us so I’m now finding it difficult not to get excited at the prospect! Wondering what shirt no he may wear, seems to prefer the no.7 and has previously worn 77 but unless Bozanic or Meshino free those numbers up he would have to plump for something different. 34 maybe?
