    It’s not about reminiscing - it’s about folk re-writing history that I have a problem with. It’s because he is not playing well that some folk suddenly think that meant he has not been a class player for us over the years.

    It’s a bizarre, knee-* type take, for me.

    Sticky patch? He's been pish for 18 months and clearly downed tools a long, long time ago. You can sit there and reminiscence the nostalgic moments we had with him during the trebles but most fans prefer to think about the present and how the good grace he earned for those good years has long since expired.

    In terms of world football a SPFL title and cup is quite low on the success scale. A 9 million pound striker should should be scoring 30+ goals a season in a team that dominated Scottish football for 9 years. A fit Griff scored 20+ goals yet he's not demanding £60 grand a week and a move to a top team. His ego is bigger than his skill level, that'll hamper his career. Mousa come here, kept grounded done his job and was rewarded with a big move away.

    18 months is hardly knee *. His toxic nature oozes out to the rest of the team, since Ncham got punted that's toxicity has gradually got worse.

    Apart from he's improved since Ntcham leaving but don't let that get in the way of rewriting history.

    Two official bids have been tabled and we’ve given him permission to speak with the clubs today, so looks like he could well be off.

    That being the case, I really feel we need another striker in on top of Giakoumakis.

    Ornstein is as reliable as you can get.

    Grim times.

    The Greek certainly doesn’t look an adequate replacement, and Jota on loan is hardly splashing the cash.

    I bet you didn’t. I bet you read the whole thing.

    Insert any average striker then instead of him and they’d score 20 in our system, including penalties. Doesn’t make him good enough for us.

    Baffles me why * are tripping over themselves to back this wage thief up.

    What's Grim about getting good money for Edouard who has been garbage and signing the top scorer in the Eredivise?

    Getting ‘good money’ means very little for the fans, as we’ve seen countless times.

    Fair enough, he banged them in last year - but every other year you could literally count his goals on one or two hands.

    Also, the Eredivise has seen many mediocre players be crowned top goal scorers. It’s a very strange league.

    We need to build a squad; not a take ‘punts’. The manager has more or less blamed a loss on one player being out - that’s not good enough, especially when our nearest rivals has shown they aren’t impacted by players being out.

    Definitely much better this season than last.

    Have a look at past footage and messages here.

    Revisionism at it's finest from you.

    If you think his performances this season have been up to scratch there is no point in even trying to debate with you.

    There's a reason why a new left winger that doesn't speak English is playing up front and no on the wing, and that reason is because Eddie is that much out of form he can't even get a starting place. Your living in la la land mate thinking he's better this season than he was last.

    We'll do well to replace him with someone who fits the system. That alone should see an upgrade in team performance.
