    I wouldnt be using Ntcham as someone to support my opinion,overall the guy was an example of what we dont need at the club.
    I think soro was earmarked as Browns replacement anyway so that leaves Christie,an average player who is no better than Mc carthy.

    I'd imagine once we get back from the Czech Republic the presser will be held etc.

    Probably in Glasgow atm.

    Its funny that all the years we've had the Mccarthy rumours there's always been some * saying they've seen him at the Forge or in Castlemilk visiting his granny but the one year we actually sign him there's been nothing like that :giggle1:

    Ange said because he wasn't with a club he's been doing his own training, so they have him in Glasgow doing training with the staff back there for the next couple of days to gauge his fitness. Why none of those staff have a camera I don't know :giggle1:

    Probably like to have one player at a time getting all the attention. Next week I bet it will be all about him.

    Seems like a smart signing, guy has experience, good relative skill level, and an understanding of the club and football culture up here. In a team lacking leaders, I could see him making a significant difference.

    Good business to get a guy like him on a free and not past it at 30. If he can stay fit he can be a good player for us. We need experience and leadership in the team.

    Absolutely fine with this. If we can get him fit then could be a fantastic bit of business.

    Has he had a pre season with Palace? If not, suspect he will take weeks to get up to speed, fitness wise.

    Wasn’t with them, he was released. So he’s just been doing his own training.

    They would have only just gone back to training last week anyway probably as they dont start playing til 14th August, however as his contract could have run til 31st July he may have trained with the them til then.

    When realistically should we expect to see him start, 3 weeks time?

    If there was any issues with his fitness it would have shown in his medical.

    I’m sure he has been keeping himself fit and healthy and he may need a couple of weeks to get match sharpness.

    Why hasn't he played for Ireland as regularly? I get he had the leg break but even before then, Mick Mccarthy didnt call him up.

    You look at that Rep of Ireland squad nowadays surely hes a dead cert to get back in there. Although wouldn't mind if he called it a day selfishly, for us.

    Teams have been back for a month, including Palace and players like Zaha who weren’t involved in any football in the summer.

    They’ve been playing friendlies since mid July. Hardly not going to be at training before that.

    Ange said he hadn’t been with the team, so he’s not trained.

    Pulled out of a lot squads with niggles/ injury's etc. Probably why maybe the perception amongst a lot is that he is constantly injured.
