correct, but he rejected the loan because scotland was too cold for him.

Think this could work out quite well for us!

Another possible move from Barca can be Jeffren Suarez. He is a 20year Old and can play both Positions (left or right) on the in Midfield

Do they have a left back!!!!!!!

The thing i don't understand is this:

Strachan is saying he doesn't have a lot of cash to spend and that going for youngsters and gambling is what he will do. I get this from his:
"It's unlikely we can afford a player who will walk into the first team"

Yet we bid £3.5m and £4m for Tamas and Basa respectively. It just seems to be strange him saying that if we do actually have cash.

I'd hope we can sign some more players - for the first team. Left back is a must but has Strachan basically told us that he won't be using the cash? Or is he telling us we have no cash?

I think he's looking at Rangers and saying to himself "this team could get me through until January" then he will look at options. We need a LB thats for sure, even if it's just cover.. Although I wouldn't mind seeing Hinkel tried there with Caddis in at RB. Wilson is also effective at LB, but I'd still like cover. I think Naylor will do a job, maybe work on positioning more and he's sorted.

I honestly don't think we'll see much before Jan, maybe 1 CB and 1 LB if anything at all.

so does this mean that even if we want to keep crosas at the end of all this barca can still take him???

Yup, they have 2 years to exercise the clause. They can buy him back after 1 year or 2 years, the player is entitled to reject, although I doubt he would. If he does decide to go back to Barca, then we have a 25% sell on clause. So if he then left Barca for say, £10m, we'd get £2.5m ;) sounds like an excellent piece of business to me.

There spendin more money for the new ad boards than we have spent on transfers so far if u look at the price to get them and lecie bills lol


and was it not sayed last year we would have the cash to get by the last 16 next year . Think we are getting it ripped out of us here.

Have to say i totally agree with you. Strachan has definately not bought for any progress in the champions league and i suspect it will be used as an excuse should we fail to qualify. If we play anything like we did yesterday in the CL we will be destroyed!

£3.5m would buy us a CL class LB or CB. For whatever reason, they've pulled the plug of the Tamas and Basa deals. We have to trust their judgement on those ones. However if the deadline passes without a new signing, i fear for us!

[mcgrory67]

Its a load of rubbish saying they have no cash, £3m bid for Tamas, £4m bid on Basa and £7m bid for Payluchenko. Also the huns spend £9m, are they saying that the huns who are up to there eyes in debt have more money to spend.

[supermike]

Think a lot of people are overestimating how much we can legitimately spend on a single player. £3.5m to £4.5m is the top end of what we can spend. I'm dubious if our board would stretch to the £6 mill.

Remember we have a wage structure that cannot be broken. I suspect the Tamas and Bassa deals fell through more to do with their wage demands more than anything else. They look at Celtic and see a top level Premiership side when in reality someone like Everton can off wages of £80k per week to their top bracket players. We can offer (I suspect) less than half that.

We didn't pull the plug on Tamas et al because we had the money and didnt want to spend it. Its because we COULDNT AFFORD too much wages for players seen to be not much better than say Darren O'Dea who must be on less than 10k a week.

If that's the case then i think that players like Darren O'Dea must be on more than they are worth. It sort of works both ways. I totally agree with what you are saying and reckon that's pretty much how they see it.

It's too hard to compare though. I'm sure Donati will be on good money but he's a pun' o' mince but Strachan seems to think he's good. Does that mean he won't buy anyone better than what he "thinks" donati is because the wages he's on!

It's a joke and i think we're totally being short changed. I was att he game yesterday and was pretty flat to be honest after looking forward to it all summer. The whole crowd were flat because we were so poor and there was nothing to lift us through the game. Now can you imagine if we'd signed Pavluchenko or a top class CB and how much different the crowd would have been?

There is the whole players wanting to choose the premiership over the SPL. However, the player we are signing needs to be wanted by a top team in that league. Not every player in Europe is wanted so i'm pretty sure they could get some good quality players for £3-£4 mil

I think we should wait til the end of the window before we start to panic, maybe im just optimistic but i think the best is yet to come we dont know whats happenin behind closed doors we will still be negotiating with players as we speak. I think we will get another 2 players before the window closes defo a LB and either a CB or an attacker. Feel free to shoot me down if there is no one else brought in before the end of the window but there is 3 weeks left and most of the activity always happens in the last week!!! Have faith bhoys!!!
