Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 3 hours ago, BackOfTheNet said: Cheers for the tidbits. I suspect if any news today it will concern outgoings, rather than incomings. A massive pet hate of mine, particularly during the January window. Being that it closes 1st there’s technically 32 days to do deals and clubs immediately shoot themselves in the foot by not using 10 of those days as they happen to fall on weekends. Don’t know if it’s a Hearts or SFA registration admin thing, but it’s incredibly annoying. (Not to mention on top of those 10 days of no business there’s game days where little to nothing gets done on that front too) Same in any negotiation situation. You only show the full hand at the right moment, often the deadline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) 51 minutes ago, Mikey1874 said: My new open question is whether Charlie Adam is harming Dundee. Loads of assists and a few goals. But are the other players diminished? It's happened before. Johnny Giles at Ireland latterly. It could have happened at Barcelona recently. A dominant player through which everything goes. But you get less from the others. Didn't think 5 wins in 12 was acceptable. You are absolutely correct, shouldn't be hard to set traps, when a team goes continually through 1 player. No further news then, perhaps a busy Monday fair to say?

Bazzas right boot Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 1 hour ago, Batistuta87 said: Totally agree with this. Going unbeaten is rare. Winning every game I think is unheard of. Rangers for example are having an absolute stormer of a season and are unbeaten, but they haven't won every game. Has a team ever won every game in a season?? TBH it's not what I think, it just how it is, has been for years. Logically , Celtic should always hammer us, the OF should win every trophy between them. Football isn't like that tho, never has been and folk who are stating that drawing with a team in the same league as you are in is a "drama" are either clueless or have expectations that will never be met and have never been met.

We don’t need to sell, I think living in Edinburgh was a massive factor for Boyce and his family, we are a bigger club than Aberdeen, can pay as much as Aberdeen, have better infra than Aberdeen and in a matter of weeks will be in the premier league again in short, we will only sell if we want to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to keep it on topic, but over the years us and Aberdeen have by a distance the best league finishes than the rest. They have pretty much had the whole decade on top as well tho. 2 sc finals in a row as well for us. I wouldn't be bringing in Bannon, agree with others, give a bit more to Irvine and bring in someone a bit younger and cheaper, we do need a midfielder tho now that Lee has gone.

Auld Reekin' Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 4 hours ago, jamboinglasgow said: Its not a 1 way negotiation, selling clubs and players like to wait to see if other teams try to come in with a bigger offer. As the window goes on you are more likely to get a more desperate club who will pay more. Also there are a lot of deals linked (so club A is looking to buy player X from club B, but club B does not want to let X go until they have signed player Y from club C, and Club C want to sign player Z from club D to replace player Y. It requires club D to sign a new player then it allows the other 3 deals to go ahead.) Feck me... sounds just like trying to buy a house in England!
