Recruitment

Lee Congerton licks his finger when he’s flicking through the Argos catalogue

 

I assume he was asked who Arzani was - doubt the Scottish media knew.

 

Jesus Christ.

I know you don’t want to give Brendan any criticism but you’re tripping yourself up.

 

You’d need to ask Rodgers himself why he specifically named Arzani. But like I said, he’s already covered McKenna in a previous press conference.

 

Because we’re that far down the barrell he might be his target even if he was 20th on the list?

 

If McKenna is on the list at all then he can’t blame anyone else. Haddy of a footballer.

And his comments about Boyata says there’s not a list...

 

Our recruitment is a joke these days, it’s lazy, half assed and lacks any sort of ambition.
9 times outta 10 a player in the Scottish league, that doesn’t play for us, doesn’t play for us for a reason - they’re no good enough.

 

Crazy that the Huns can go and get two decent players who have been capped for Croatia for relatively low fees and we’re obviously struggling to get someone, something isn’t right.

 

I took his Boyata comments as in not enough time to find a replacement for the qualifiers, which looks stupid now cos the guys a * but it’s basically the same thing we done with Van Dijk. Except Van Dijk is not a *.

 

We haven’t signed anybody who plays in Scotland this window?

We’ve signed Edouard, Izzy and Ar zani. 2 very promising players and a guy who is just about the best sort of cover we can hope for.

I’m not saying we’ve had a good window, it’s been * for what we need but it’s a bit daft some of this * people fling at it.

 

The only time we should sign a Scottish player in the league is when they are noticeably way above anyone on there team and breezes through games in a weak side otherwise look elsewhere.

Why don't we watch the Europa league games. Some absolute quality looking players playing great and at small clubs we could buy from.

Nah let's buy more off Aberdeen. A team that's defence couldn't keep the huns out. * shocking. It's almost inevetable we will * the 10 up and we can all see it and the board don't give a *. You'd actually think we're the skint club the way were going at the moment.

 

We signed Bain.

 

Always count that as a January signing, do you think he didn’t earn his place in that 6 months? Cos I was quite pleased with it.

 

Think he’s a good signing myself. He’s done well.

And....
Unlike Gordon he knows where his near post is

 

I think that he should be our first-choice goalkeeper.

 

We also have to have a quota of home grown players to qualify for European competitions.
Thinks it’s 5 trained at the club and 12 trained in the Clubs country.
That’s why we sign Scots not just because we don’t look outwith our league.


I’m still perplexed how any English team manages this though.

 

Its why there’s a premium on English players

 

Very true.
I think Chelsea/Arsenal must just register half the youth team for Europe as they have hardly any English players in their full squad.

 

We need eight homegrown players.
