    Gilmour is timid? That’s a mad opinion for me, he’s tenacious as *, doesn’t back out any tackles, he’s just small and not strong, not weak either but definitely not strong.

    The glimpses of him and Calmac together for Scotland they were very unScottish class on the ball, pass and move constantly between each other and naturally covered the other.

    I’d love to somehow manage to get him. Won’t happen but, he was coming into the first team more and more towards the end of the season and noise about him over there is they’re expecting big things next season. If he doesn’t do that, then next summer I would try. Don’t think he’d want to but, Rangers fans think of him like he played 500 games for them for some reason, not immediately do the bunk on a free. He’s like there Feruz for me, but they think of him like he had a great Rangers career. And he knows that, signing here, it’s a lifetime of hassle. And he would have many options across Europe and England. I would love it but. I really rate him but he hasn’t put it together consistently in his career. He needs to do that soon.

    No chance he comes here. His mum wouldn't touch the green bits of a Norwich scarf when he played there, which is sad and funny at the same time.

    * sake.

    Aye, he wouldn’t touch us with a bargepole. If he moves agains, he’ll not be short of options, in better leagues, that won’t result in family members disowning him and half a country wanting him buried. Good player but

    Didn't he also refuse to do a huddle at Norwich?
    I know politics shouldn't come into it, but if you and your family are that rancid then I don't think they are welcome here.

    The whites think about class 2000 to strengthen the midfield. The Danish midfielder is also liked by Roma and Atalanta and last season he was also sought after by Napoli



    After being followed by Atalanta, Roma and Napoli, Juventus is also interested in Matt O'Riley. The Bianconeri club has not yet made an official offer but only a survey and its purchase is linked to possible midfield outings such as that of Douglas Luiz.

    O'Riley is a midfielder with great technique and for this reason he can also play as a quarterback. The Dane in the 2024/25 season played 21 Premier League games with Brighton, where he managed to score 2 goals and provide 3 assists.

    Probably no coincidence Italian clubs are interested in him. Would suit the pace of that league nicely.
