jambonian Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Just on, not read through last two pages fully. However, on Craig Gordon....the only way I would want to see him back at Tynie is as goalkeeping coach, potential back-up IF we have an injury situation with other keepers. Gallagher needs replaced as goalie coach judging Pereira, Zlamal & Doyle. On Griffiths...remember reading that we were interested in two Celtic players, one obviously Gordon, the other name mentioned was Griffiths. Laughed it off (like you would) and forgot about it. Just before Hogmanay I was driving along from Murrayfield and was behind a white 4x4 with the private number-plate of what looked like it could've been Griffiths. Couldn't get alongside this vehicle until the Drumbrae roundabout and noticed it looked very much like Griffiths, wee heid bobbin about from side to side. Thought it was strange he was coming from the general direction of Tynie and remembered the story. He drove straight on along Glasgow road but couldn't help wondering if he had been at Tynie. Chances are probably not but did get me thinking for a few minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Cant remember which thread I mentioned it, but suspected Stendel would go native.

Chances are probably not but did get me thinking for a few minutes. I agree about Gallagher needing replaced. If we assume that DS will get his other coaches in at the end of the season or maybe one before then he already has Sievers who was a goalkeeping coach at Hanover and a fromer Goalkeeper. So unless DS is not going to get his coaches in there would be no need for a goalkeeping coach with Sievers already with us. More likely to ditch Zlamal and Doyle and sign a new keeper in the summer such as Radlinger, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Alexander was a few years older than Gordon and still did a good job for us, yet he had half the ability. It's not looking backwards to want a very good experienced keeper that has EPL , SPL and Champions League experience with plenty International caps. Arguably one of the best keepers we've ever had and that this country has ever produced. Yet some would still turn their nose up at him for nowt.

It's a bigger league. Germany is a huge country and some sides, even in Bundesliga 3. can attract enormous crowds. The competition is probably much higher because there's so many good professional players as well as ones from surrounding countries. Anyone from Bundesliga 2 will be of a good standard.
