    I always liked him so maybe my memory is pish. He started well then dipped badly from what I remember.

    What I will say is that he’s not as bad as many suggest. He had a spell next to Jozo in the CL where they both looked the business.

    Janko Sviatchenko Efe KT

    That was our back 4. 3 of them are/were rapid..

    The guy was basically just slaughtering Sviatchenko..

    He is just about as bad a signing as we could make just now..

    So slow when we need pace back there
    Need an aerial presence and he's tiny
    Need someone comfortable on the deck and he isn't overly
    Need someone who isn't rash and he 100% is..

    I'm sure the Huns tortured him in a qualifier last year as well..

    I dont think he's terrible. Went through a poor run of form here and was rightfully dropped, but was good in spells too

    Nothing major against Erik TBH but if it’s true our scouting is * abysmal.

    Which it fall through before we go cap in hand to Dudu Dahan to see if he has any Israeli centre halves on his books.

    Look at our squad now, it's ridiculously slow and one paced..

    We lost our one true speed merchant in Frimpong and our only fast defender (the fastest in our squad) wants out this summer..

    Leaves Forrest and Mikey with any genuine bit of pace in our team really. McGregor and Soro aren't slow either but you get the gist..

    Some of the name's we're being linked with would be horrible to what is already a slow squad and especially the way the new man likes to play..

    He was incredibly average and had no pace which is what centre backs like him who are under 6ft usually have to make up for lack of height. I remember he used to get bullied a lot too, pass.

    His career here came to an abrupt end after he was mugged several times by Linfield at Windsor Park. Rodgers never really trusted him after that.

    I liked him :fear:

    Doesn't mean I'd take him back mind, and maybe my memory is just sullied with Hendry and Duffy.

    Let's be honest mate, I believe every single name that's been linked has been a guess.

    Wyke, Onaiwu, Ryan, Mooy, Boyle, Hickey and now Sviatchenko? All lazy guesses imo.

    I wouldn't be so sure on that..

    Our recruitment process has been shocking for a while..

    Dudu Duhan
    Ex player's with link's
    Someone mentioned Izzy and think we offered him another deal after resigning him after the first time he left and was done, but it never materialised..

    We're a shambles..

    The standard of player we're being linked with is very worrying tbh.

    Another drawback of the Ange appointment is he will have absolutely no knowledge of the European market given none of his previous clubs would be signing players from there and our European scouting set up is headed by Strachan's other son :99:

    We're in some nick.

    You might be right mate, and tbh out of the lot Sviatchenko would probably be the most realistic, guy seems to love us and we always seem to use that card when recruiting.

    Hopefully these are just suggestions given to big Ange and he rams them up Lawwell's * :85:

    I've got the absolute fear for the direction we're going in. It's frightening..

    It's hard to comprehend how we've ended up in the state we're in..

    That's the problem, I can actually see this one happening..

    Id have him back ,shouldn't have sold him in first place. Better him than Bitton or another duffy'esqe type.
