I agree and I would get that.  I can't see his Scotland ambitions being expanded by playing for Stoke though.  

 

Aye, but Scotland ambitions don't pay the bills!

That would be absolutely delightful! 

[DH1986]

Souttar clearly sees Stoke as a better stepping stone to EPL and more money than he’d get going direct from us whilst he waits.

[kingantti1874]

Nice

I looked at Atkinson when he was linked and thought 'no chance'. Credit to them all for getting it done!

[TexasAndy]

Great news on Atkinson.  Hopefully the paper work gets sorted in time for him to be considered for St Johnstone game

If we can get a decent sell on it would be good work. He'll immediately show up that cart horse McKenna on the left hand side.

Forest, the team that had over 100% of wages to rurnover5re ently and are the best part of £100m in debt. 

 

How, the **** can they offer more than us? 

 

They shouldn't be able to.

If we offered more than we could afford then we would be in debt also.The key with these clubs is that they service the debt.Fail to pay a debt and the whole thing collapses.

Jayden Braaf probably the only one likely from that list. Delap is getting first team games here and there and the others are probably too young just now. Braaf played (and scored) for Udinese in Serie A last season.

 

But I do have a tendency to braaf a lot of nonsense…

Soapy should be targeting Premiership and I think he would get that if he signed a 2 year contract extension with us with the proviso that we would accept north of £2m in a year and a half’s time. An injury free Soapy in a year and a half is likely a player who has finished 3 in the Scottish Premiership 2 seasons running, played a minimum 7 European games and just finished playing at the heart of Scotland’s World Cup defence playing the type of technical centre back role that clubs are jumping over each other for.

I'd piss my pants if we got him on loan. Would be ectoplasm everywhere if we got him in a Beni style deal and got him permanently lol. Won't happen though. Loan at best I'd say. 

 

Perfect signing though. Quick, strong, good finisher.

For him to do that would mean turning his back on a large sign on fee plus possible triple his wages in the next 2 yrs. Not going to happen imo. He could go to Stoke or wherever, sign a two or three yr deal then get that same move at that point if he stays healthy. Plus we would get a fee from the move on clause👍

[Lord Beni of Gorgie]

Delap sounds like someone very much on the up. 

 

But will he not get in the way of Euan Henderson return from League 1 greatness?

After seeing the lack of application, work ethic and experience from Woodburn, I'd not get too over excited about signing any other highly rated youth prospects on loan from EPL clubs.

Agreed, there is something to playing with better players, he was good preseason versus a Spanish opponent, think it was Osasuna, for Liverpool. It must be far easier to find space and have team players moving into spaces when your team mates are genuinely world class (and theres nothing at stake). He wasn't a player I was knowledgeable about before he came other than word in general football chat, playing for Wales and Liverpool at a young age,but to say he's been underwhelming is an understatement he's been pathetic. His desire is shocking and it's hard to see why he's not trying at the very least, hes in a pretty precarious situation contract wise. He might just find himself at a Preston, Oxford or such like.

I think there's a bit of that. They come here thinking it's beneath them, they don't really want to be here, they go through the motions and they end up getting a reality check when they come up against seasoned pros who don't give a shit about who they are at youth level.

He certainly has the ability to do that, we've seen flashes of brilliance but for whatever reason he's lacking in other areas. 

[BackOfTheNet]

Wait, I’m getting mixed up between Delap and Palmer. Delap has only played once for City, and is 18. He’s not anywhere near being outside our possibilities. He or Braaf are not outside an effective 4 month loan. But neither are guaranteed to ‘rip up our league’ as neither has proven that yet.

You’d need to think that Gary Caldwell will have an insight on which City players are available for loan…..considering his previous position.
