    BTW, in todays game, Caldwell is Duffy.

    He was * calamitous. Had the odd good game, but * *, he knew how to * things up just like Duffy.

    Even if you don't rate Caldwell, comparing him to Duffy is wide of the mark, Caldwell was much better for us.

    See Liverpool have signed Ben Davies from PNE. Do we get a sell on?

    Looks like Lovro Majer's on the move, Fiorentina, Marseille.
    He'd be your upgrade on the Ryan Gauld suggestion.
    16million Euro. Quite ridiculous.

    So West Brom, Newcastle and Marseille are interested in Ntcham.

    I'd gladly swap Ntcham for Florian Thauvin and Saîf-Eddine Khaoui
    https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/saif-eddine-khaoui/profil/spieler/270411
    https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/florian-thauvin/profil/spieler/184892

    That in itself would scare the beejesus out of Scottish football.
    Otherwise it's about someone paying the fee.

    That will be accurate in fact I think it is actually more than £88m they have combined to go for especially when you take the VVD sell on to Liverpool into account. The sell on was around £6m and during the same decade we also got £9m McGeady; net £3m Hooper; net £2.5m Kelvin Wilson; net £2m+ Matthews; £6m Ki; £2m+ Boruc; £1.5m McManus and net £5m Armstrong amongst some other small net fees. That’s another ~£37m and we got £9m for Rodgers and his staff on top of that. So we have made in excess of £125m from those deals.

    Even taking into account all our duds, if you take the squad we had when Lennon took charge the first time to now (last Decade) and count Edouard, Ajer, Christie, Turnbull, Soro, Rogic and Ntcham as a negative for now as they are still here we are still over £37m in profit from transfer deals, £46m if you count the Rodgers money.

    That figure tells you a few things, firstly that surplus that used to be in the accounts prior to covid was created by transfer dealings and the fact the surplus isn’t higher shows how poorly we have done in terms of CL qualification as that figure really should have been at least 2 or 3 times that.

    Second it shows how many poor deals we have been involved in. Even taking into account those players mentioned above you would expect to turn a profit on and the likes of Julien, Izzy, Lustig, Ledley, Stokes, Commons, Mulgrew, Matthews, K Wilson, Armstrong and Kayal who came in and done a good job, you are still going to have at least £50- £60m wasted on some terrible signings.

    The likes of Bayo, Hendry, Amido Balde, Bangura, Klimala, Bolingoli, Taylor, Mussonda, Duffy, Comper, Gamboa, Cifti, Allan, Scepovic, Boerrighter and Daryl Murphy to name some examples. Now you expect to have some duds but some of those deals were terrible.

    I can understand deals like Pukki where the guy has talent but doesn’t fulfil it but what someone seen in some of those above who knows.

    What a riot we are. Trying to sign EPL players on loan on the final day of the window.

    Could sign Jon Guthrie from Livingston, Allan Campbell from Motherwell and Nicke Kabamba from Killie all on pre contracts and make the top 6 next year!

    At this stage Guthrie would be a better option than what we have at CB.
