10MILLION FOR CHAMPIONS LEAGUE AND WE CAN ONLY GET DION DUBLIN??

all of them are rather average

 

Why do we need a big target man. Most of the teams at the world cup didn't have a huge forward. I think GS is looking for someone who will put themselves about. Miller and Magic don't really do physical stuff is Paul Dickov still kicking about a player like that would do i reckon someone to get in defenders faces and who can score a goal or 2??.
The lack of money by the way is a fecking joke. We had the chance to grind Rangers into the ground the past 5 seasons and we've let them win the league twice when a little investment would have allowed us to walk it.

 

First off you have to remember that CL money is not paid up front, we wont see the benifit of our Cl money till the Xmas transfer window at the very earliest.

Part of the reason we have such a crazy pre season this year is to try and generate some of the money we lost out on thanks to last years European disaster.

Secondly we only actually get somewhere in the region of £7m from UEFA ( £4.5m if hearts qualify for the group stages ) that figure of £10m is about right if you INCLUDE t.v money and the income generated from 3 home CL games

I know its hard to take but as long as we play in the spl we will have to rely on our prestige and reputation as a club and the lure of CL football when it comes to the transfer market because financily we can't compete with even mid table premiership teams

Having said that surley to * there is a better option than Dion Dublin out there somewhere
