😂

I wonder what he is having for his tea tonight?

He will hopefully put his teeth in this time!

He’s been having some sort of 24 hour feast.

Stendel was asked what he can tell us about players coming in or out... 

He mentioned something about a contract but he can't tell us anything.. 

 

I suppose we'll have to rely on the ITKers

He said no-one has signed a contract so he can't tell us about anyone coming in. Sounds like Avdijaj might not be in Edinburgh yet but will be in the next day or two, from what Allan Preston and Barry Anderson are saying.

Yeah,  it seems unlikely that the guy has signed a contract like Bongo is suggesting. 

My fear is that we can't afford the boys wages.  I would imagine that Trabzonspor pay good money with the likes of Daniel Sturridge on their books.

I can’t see why he would sign a contract prior to face to face talks.

 

As per usual, ITK attention seekers jumping the gun so they can claim they called something first...christ only knows why?!

I think some posters like to capitalise on deals that look very likely to be done by claiming that they are done so they can scoop the ITK credit.

 

That said, it won't have got this far without wages being discussed. Stendel's emphasis on the actual contract being signed suggested to me that something may already be agreed in principle (as per Jim Spence's suggestion last night) but not actually signed yet.

Hopefully we get Avdijaj, Boyce or Hermann and Thiam...

 

Completely new front three right there.

 

I'm not sure we need all 3/4.

 

Boyce is a no brainer and will slot right in.

 

Avdijaj has a great CV but is definitely a risk.

 

Hermann and Thiam are certainly not proven at this level and with our youngsters playing well it's not really a risk worth taking at the moment.

 

I'd sacrifice one of them for a decent centre mid to be honest.

The fact that it was said it was agreed in principle suggests there shouldn’t be any issue with wages. Hopefully a formality.

I'm starting to think that's the case. I don't see the point in it myself. 

 

Hopefully the anonymous benefactors are back on the scene to get this deal done. 

It's slightly concerning that we're 18 days into January and still no signings.

I’d definitely want three of them...Thiam for Walker, Avdijaj for Meshino, Boyce for McLean.

 

Giving us Boyce, Washington, Uche as forwards.

 

Thiam or Meshino one wing...Avdijaj or Henderson the other...or potentially Washington could play on the wing.

 

Reckon Walker and McLean will be moved on at some point.

Not concerned! I am content the players we have will succeed. I am basing this on the vane against H1b5 and Aberdeen. Don’t panic. The players we have are more than good enough after Stendels  surgery.

Bazzas right boot

This guy seems like a level above us. 

 

Really hope it comes off, makes taking the risk of Stendel over the likes of Robinson so more obvious to everyone. 

 

Can't help but feel he'll go somewhere else tho. 

On paper, looks like a player that with lift us, be a stand out and will eventually leave us but having done a great job and would make us money. 

A very exciting signing.

Think we might cash in Uche this window, obv if an offer is there.

I'm not in a panic but we do need at least 3 new faces and we've got 13 days left to do it. 

Ross County on Wednesday then Rangers on Sunday. 

It will be a hard game against county and do you really think we can compete with rangers with Moore, Irvine and Henderson as first picks?

Not to mention Smith, Hickey and Uche being bloody injured. 

 

Not in a panic but we need some pace and quality in the team and pronto. 

 

It was a great result today and a good confidence builder but you can't forget that it was Airdrie that we were playing.

We're always going to be a stepping stone for good players. It is what it is. 

No point moaning about it. 

If we can get this guy on a 3 year deal with him moving on in 2 years for a fee... Brilliant.

I'm not moaning about it but interesting to see that budge and her husband weren't at the game today. Shelley Kerr and somebody else in their seats

He's been freed from his contract, no transfer fee needed = loads of clubs will be looking at him.

Don't be disappointed just yet. I'm still hoping we get this over the line. 

He was born in Germany, Stendel know's of him and can give him the German lingo over the phone. 

All is not lost.

Wasn’t just born in Germany, grew up there and spent many a year in their youth systems. German coaching is a different breed, he’s probably wanting to be coached the way Stendel does.

Yeah, 

I hope so but if he's been on 15 grand a week and we're offering him 4...

I dunno, i just don't think we can afford him. 

I'm sure Lafferty was on about 7 grand a week and that was stretching our budget. 

It's no wonder we didn't want him back ha.

Does money get spoken about before he comes over? i dunno.

I'm sure there's been cases where players have came over for talks, to see the stadium, the training facilities etc and then when it's came down to money... they've not signed. 

I hope you're right though.

Ummm... he chose to represent Albania where his parents are from and then represent Kosovo as most people have been waiting decades for them to be an independent country. Google their football team, most have already been capped by other international countries before they were independent.

This is very much a Stendel make or break. If we don’t get him it won’t be a surprise as on paper he’s way too good for us in many ways. But I hope.

Almost certainly. I wouldn't be flying across Europe if I didn't have a decent idea of what was on offer. And according to Jim Spence (who isn't usually the type to bullshit) the deal is agreed in principle.

 

On top of that, when the name was first mentioned a few days ago (before the papers) the same source claimed he was in Edinburgh at the time, so this may well not be the first time he's been over either.

I don't know how Jim spence would know the details of our contract talks but hey. 

Maybe he's good mates with Levein. 

I get your point though.
