Slightly off topic, but am I the only person who always hears Hugo Weaving's voice in their head when reading the bit in bold?

Not at all mate, its my surname as well so literally everyone that says my name i hear in the voice of Agent Smith 😁 

 

It's the sound of inevitability 😁

I know that’s why I mentioned Chelsea, as they are the obvious example. 
 

My other point is the rule doesn’t appear to do much to help the academy to first team pathway for clubs. 
 

This increased subs rule this season for example should have had a caveat the extra subs must be academy/under 21 players. 
 

EDIT - just checked Wiki and according to that Chelsea have 21 players out on loan  

I think the point of the rule is to stop clubs like Chelsea being able to hoover up loads of talent that they can't use, but that they're then able to control who that talent does actually play for by deciding which clubs they're willing to loan them out to. They probably also distort the market for other players as by hoovering up loads themselves, they leave the other clubs competing with each other for a smaller pool of talent than there would otherwise be!

I'd love to hear their arguments as to what he said wrong.

I’ve got a feeling in the pit of my stomach that we’ve already signed him on a pre contract but are keeping it quiet.  Not wanting to put Ross county in the same position that the currants have put us and Souttar in.

 

I'd really like that. Signing other clubs best players is a good strategy, already tried and tested at this level and he's more than just treading water at a side you don't really expect to see do too much (no disrespect to RC). 

 

I think a few others have mentioned him already, but he'd be a great replacement for GMS. Young, hungry and rearing to go. 

 

I'd go so far as to say, could we do a deal this window with GMS going the other way? He's from up there anyway, so might not be reject it. 

[Tynecastle Valhalla]

If he wasn’t on our radar (entirely possible) he certainly should be now

But they do the same with youths is what I’m trying to get at.

Do a Souttar type deal  with him. 

 

 

 

 

Maybe we could do a swap with GMS and another player for him.

Makes sense in theory but GMS might have a say on that and his wages might be an issue.

Let’s stop saying GMS can be used as any sort of makeweight in any deal with County. He turned down Aberdeen in the Premiership to play with us in the Championship in no small part due to being closer to family. So there’s no way GMS would agree to it. I understand the thinking, but it’s not going to happen and several people have already explained why.

We are making what looks like good signings so if we are lucky enough to get one more we know its likely to be another bit quality

Hawd oan, it’s just past 4, I’m a wee bit off having my tea yet! Wouldn’t expect anything tonight anyway, makes more sense to do it on deadline day as fans are always wanting deadline day signings.

 

I do wonder who will be the first to stick their neck on the line and say someone is coming in or that no one is. Only posters so far that have shown proper knowledge are johnking123 and FFSJohn (who I’m convinced is the photographer).

Hibs confirming McGrath so he will likely start Tuesday. Be good to get a signing in the bag.  
 

hope we have RCC in the bag, like him as a player and seems a good sort too off the pitch.

I think GMS is from up that neck of the woods and with him being in his 30's now it might be time for him to head back nearer his home.

 

Their owner is a wealthy man and I am sure some of the players they have on loan must cost them a few bob.

 

As you may have realised I am not GMS's biggest fan and I just thought of it as a way to kill two birds with one stone. 😍

GMS also moved away from there when he was a teenager. You can’t just force someone to go somewhere because you don’t like him
