vegas-voss Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I see they had a podcast call to try and get fans to renew tickets a whole 38 tuned in. Johnson really is fed nonsense to say Melkerson is brilliant even better than he expected him to be.Already trying to drum up a sale for the guy.

Baxfee Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Was bored so was having a look at the hibs squad. Their motto seems to be ‘if he farts buy him’ as their numbers are ridiculous. Glad we’ve moved on from that philosophy as it was so scatter gun it was doomed to fail. Carry on hibs!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas-voss Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I still can't work out how they are going to be able to get wp for Tavares and the Gambian striker. Criteria seems to be strength of league , how many games they have played in league , how many games in another league etc etc. Taveres never played a first team.game for Benfica and his loan was to a 2nd tier team last season.The Gambian is even worse Rainbow FC no idea where they are even from and a loan to the Portuguese 3rd division where he hardly played.

Danish club FC Nordsjælland, were bought by the Ghanaian football academy Right to Dream. The academy was set up by an Englishman, Tom Vernon, who was out there and it has produced a lot of good Ghanaian players over the years.
