Who are you and what have you done with our Bongo?

Credit were it's due not Robbie biggest fan but he has us 3rd and still in Scottish, so can't complain signings have been good in my opinion. 

 

For someone that can be very critical, it's only fair i give out praise and Robbie & Savage and the club deserve that. 

 

Nothing to fear tonight, I'm sure you and many others will be the difference tonight if we get a result, hopefully get the 3 points, have a real hatred for any team that accepts a title and they have not won it outright, wouldn't be me celebrating that embarrassing football club, and into the bargain we suffered as a football club, horrible horrible football club just like Rangers and Hibs. 

 

The Hearts are back!!.

Robbie Savage, have we signed him as well. Is he not a bit over our new age plan of being under 26?  😍

No need to rush the lad in tonight, can have 15 minutes at the end when we are 3 up

IIRC Simms got injured in the playoffs with Blackpool and was due back in September.

 

There was a bit in the press down here pre season which talked about him being in limbo as it wasn’t clear what Everton were going to do with him. Blackpool wanted him back but the injury put them off as they needed someone from start of season. 

 

He is rated and I’m confident over the closing stretch will bag us a few goals.

 

The rules regarding loan out players from next season is going to be very interesting as It will limit the number of players EPL clubs can loan out and there will be a few players getting their contracts paid up to leave as the days of bloated squads and loaning out 15 or 20 players are gone.

I didn't know about this rule change, but great, I've been whinging about the elite punting players out. Believe Chelsea and City far exceeded 20, more like 40 at times. Ridiculous hold over young players, cheap to them, then get the cash back on fees to mugs who think they were actually ever a real thing at these clubs, cattle market

[bazman]

if he is already signed and registered he could be on bench tonight and they are just doing photos etc now

Be some boost that.If the game is still alive we have seen how much Celtic seem to tire in matches

Yup, as I said earlier in the thread, the precedent is Scott Sinclair in 2016, whose registration was expedited to allow him to come off the bench and score a winner at Tynecastle.

Big if, he understands our movements and rotations. Take a few games for that to happen

Some just get it right away and the buzz of coming on in such a big game as well.Way ahead of myself though probably isn't even registered yet.

Precedent? Unfortunately that’s not how Scottish football works. Celtic/Newco that’s a different story.

”yes we will get someone down there to open the office at this late hour and file the paperwork. **** it, we’ll fill it in for you too. Save you a trip. Good luck tomorrow against those Jambo bar stewards”

[Stu_HMFC]

Will be picking his squad number. Don't think you can sign someone and give them a number of a player who is out on loan already (example 7 Walker ) Will take a while with the amount of players we have out on loan. 

[Rick Sanchez]

Imagine he's announced at 5pm on a three and a half year deal and in the squad tonight.

 

Get Joe on the pitch.

[Tom Hardy’s Dug]

I think we know the script now - it’s either a done deal and we will know imminently or it’s bullshit.

 

Seems like the former.

Don't think we will hear anything official until tomorrow.

 

If we get beat tonight then it's some good news for tomorrow.If we win tonight then it's even more good news to add I think that's how they will be thinking.
