Agree with a lot of what you say, but he was not as innocent as you make out.

When the ball is played up to him, his first move is always to grab hold of the defenders jersey. This give the ref an easy option to penalize him.

If he would just concentrate on getting the ball under control he may get on a bit better, cos he seemed to need 2,3,4 touches to control the ball, I think a lot of it caused by his fixation with grabbing hold of the defenders jersey

Agree he is far better running at defenders., but do feel we can do better than him.

Agreed that if Uche focused on playing football rather than wrestling with people he would do much better. Would also like to see him running at players again. Seems to have been poorly used and very poorly coached last season.

I hope we spend less time on the 'right people with the right character and personality' and try and sign players who have to the baws to play at Tynie.

 

Infact, did we even actually do that? We got a lot of smoke blown up our arses I'll tell ye.

100% I would take 11 total dicks on the pitch every week if they win games

Don't think we will be allowed to play with 12 men. Most likely be against 12 mind you.

Roberts. Hairline and beard, plus where features start on face:

As opposed to hemming who's features start on his elbow

As long as he’s better than Mulraney.

Manage to. Where's your sense of optimism, he's in advanced talks and he's not Ronaldo

Not sure if that was just meant to be a joke Al but here is a picture of Akhmatov which I am sure you are more than capable pf finding on the internet.

 

Rassambek Akhmatov - FC Miami City

I was trying to envisage him with a fuller beard.  I should have known it would not be him as he has no previous experience of Scottish football😂

Now I recon young Hickey will be away, and I would want a left/both footed centre back like Jimmy Dunne.

2 wingers like Roberts and 2 strikers.  That’s a squad of 28 which should be cut down to 25. The midfield is 

a mix of wingers, right/left sided midfielders and centre midfielders. Obviously there are a few players I’d 

rather move on but then again that’s always the case.

Hopefully to Bayern. Tbh was trying to be smart it's been a long running saga but does look like he's gone

On the question of loan feesI cannot see any problem provided we received a final transfer fee

SO

we loan him out for a season and charge £2m to the receiving club for that privilege.  At the end of that period we sell him to them for a Michael Stewart transfer fee of £1 which will net us 70p after Celtic get their 30% cut.  Job done.

How is he 

Will be soon, certainly before the first game. Bayern favoured destination I’d think.

Roberts having played with Olly at Gillingham last season could be a good find. RN already said he wants Olly to feature. Wouldn't surprise me if Olly had some influence in it

On the subject of Uche he might find referees are more sympathetic.

 

More physicality allowed lower down the leagues. 

You're still not allowed to constantly foul the player marking you, which he does. He'll do better in the Championship, if he becomes a more intelligent player.

Uche has been one of the players who seems to have worked his socks off during the lockdown. He was almost unplayable at times

Uche is someone who is a very useful player either as first choice (depending upon who we are playing) or as a worthwhile alternative from the bench when things aren't going well.

He was sometimes unplayable before his injury but like many, such as Naismith, Berra, Souttar etc., was unable to come back and hit the ground running.  All 4 plus Haring should have gained restful benefit from the lockdown and therefore provide a strong platform not only to do well in the Championship but also to create space and opportunities for the likes of Cochrane, Irving, C Smith and McDonald to develop under less pressure.

The Kingsley one is a weird one in that he was not only named on Friday but intimated by some on here to possibly sign on Friday. Now there’s hardly any talk of him and any talk there is would suggest he won’t sign. Safe to assume it isn’t happening?

Uche has to learn to stay on his feet. He always ends up on his bum.

Apparently lots of interest from other clubs down south.

Morrison away to Falkirk permanent deal

 

 

Best of luck to him.

 

If he can find the form he had in the lower leagues before his injury problems then he will be a great signing for Falkirk.

Most of the time he falls over rather than being fouled. I do feel sorry for him at times though because he often doesn't get what are genuine fouls given.

Yep. Refs give him absolutely nothing, so he tries to emphasise he’s being fouled.

I think there are quite a lot of poor referees who because he is so big think he cant be fouled. The amount of defenders who are holding him down and getting away with it is ridiculous.

Yep. Early doors that big galoot McGregor of Hibs started just wrestling him, and the ref gave **** all in Uche’s favour. After that he was forced to go down when fouled or the ref just ignored it.

Glad folk are agreeing about Uche. I think he will be key next season. An absolute destroyer on his day, and I think will re-establish himself as a favourite among the fans next season. 

 

Now onto another one I think will have a "resurrection" next season - and that's Olly Lee. He's going to feel like he has something to prove so I hope he works his socks off. I think he has the potential to be class if his head is in the right place.

I have seen it so many times, its clear defenders realise that they can hold him back and they will get the foul. You would think refs would review games and notice players are doing it and pick up on it.
