    Cairney was the first that sprung to my mind as well. Good player in my opinion but can't even get a look in for Scotland ahead of Armstrong. Fulham rejected 20 mill supposedly and want 30. Come on to *..

    Klaasen has to be one of the most overrated Dutch centre mid's of recent time's. Just don't see it with him..

    Obscene figures for mediocre 'talent'..

    Livermore 10 mill to West Brom. Miraculously then get's an England shout off the back of the fee. Slow. Rash. Barely assists and score's the odd goal. Wow..

    No one would pay 15 million for him. Hasn't had a Scottish cup final type performance in Europe yet for us in his reincarnated state. Couple of decent performances in our last two away games in the champions league but not near enough that'll have us our next big fee

    £15million is only a big fee to us though.

    £15million to Newcastle, West Brom, Bournemouth, Crystal Palace, Stoke, West Ham is now a run of the mill signing to them, the equivalent to a £2million signing for us.

    Mooy, Tomkins, De Roon, Success, Borja Baston, Ibe, Atsu, Pereyra, Kodjia, Hendrick, N'Dong, Chadli, Gayle, McCormack, Cleverley, Livermore etc they're £10-15million players in the English market now. James McCarthy who doesnt get many games for Everton now would likely still go for over £10million.

    I completely agree they are paying completely inflated prices for players that will make average returns but I don't yet feel English clubs would value him at that

    Don't have any doubts whatsoever he'll sign a new deal.

    Is it just me or do the majority of our players just look fitter since Rodgers has come in? I've noticed it with Tierney and Brown in particular, but almost everyone seems to have come on massively in terms of fitness. Looking at that picture there, Armstrongs arms are huge, something I never would have noticed about him before.

    The players have said they feel better since Brendan came in.

    I know it is down to diet and training but I wonder what is being done differently to when Deila was in charge, considering he seemed obsessive over fitness himself. Maybe the players have just bought into what Rodgers has introduced, but didnt do the same for Ronny.

    No disrespect to the likes of Commons but this is exactly the kinda reason he wouldn't of fitted in under Brendan..

    You can noticeably see the player's have all come back in really good shape..

    I believe that's a part of it, and Brendan and his staff probably get the message across more clearly than Ronny, JC and co did..

    * English clubs. He's our player and that's our realistic value. We have already got a track record of sending top players to the EPL. They have plenty of money, so if they don't like the fee they can * off.:50:

    Id say thats true. I remember reading an interview from Deila last season and he said that his big regret was that he tried to change things at the club too gradually, and he had wished he made drastic changes right from the get go. I remember being surprised as I thought he had come in with huge changes in terms of fitness and diet, but it makes sense now. Rodgers would have came in and demanded a level of professionalism right from the get go and it has clearly been adhered to.

    He definitely had the right idea's and implemented some, like diets but clearly he or JC, or both, were rubbing player's up the wrong way at time's..

    It's hard for guy's like Ronny. He was thrown in at the deep end, as a relative unknown. He had to earn respect and ultimately failed in the long run. Then you've a guy who is known all over and respected with the utmost by our board. Player's have no choice but to respect a man like that and who has so much know how in the game..

    Both forward thinking coaches but chalk and cheese in term's of what they achieve and bring to the table..

    Looks as though he's put on a wee bit of muscle.

    Guns looking no bad.
