    My take on the window

    In peace: KKH and Brau seem to be players who can cover both forward and attacking roles. Both can play wing or wing back and full back. JDS, at a push can play wing if Bidwell plays back. So, we’ve got in two players who can cover a number of squad positions. I do think we are a squad...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    In the past the Club has put out “no more business this window” messages before the deadline. Not had that so hopefully that means something brewing.

    I think Doug could be excused just about now for not signing a back up midfielder. I mean, he’s just brought the stadium so he gets a bit of a pass….. And it looks like sold BS for 3 times his value….. so…..

    Pleased Sheaf has moved on. Some great games blah blah but was one player I never really rated: not progressive enough, backward passes too often, scared to shoot, often had the ball nicked off his toes. 6.5m? Crazy money.

    As an aside, what has Doug received for the SISU squad so far? Gyok 24m Hamer 15m Sheaf 6.5m Palmer 1.5m Godden? Thick end of £50m If he’s got hold of the club for less than that he’s done well. If SISU had said at the time “the squad is worth over £50m” I think we would have all (to quote...

    Wasn’t he dabbling with another player’s wife?

    Sheaf is a player who I guess looks great in “stat” terms. Loads of passes completed - great %age passes successful etc. And in reality, bottled loads of chances to shoot, passed backwards / sidewards instead, took easy passes often, often ran into trouble, had a frequent dither moment and...

    Maybe that was dollars - pounds a bit tricky for Yanks.

    He might get it o the final stages and pass backwards?

    O’Hare never missed a game until he was crocked for a year.

    I know he’s as old as God’s dog but I can see Barry Bannan being allowed to walk free on account of not being paid at the rate SWFC are going. Bench option for Grimes. How old was Strachan when he stopped playing? (He’s the only similar player to Grimes who’d possibly cost nothing and might...

    Someone from abroad? Never heard of Torp before he came in nor Hamer for that matter.

    Where did I say anything about some kid on loan? Sheaf isn’t a Doyle style / Kelly style / Fadz style proper skipper. Grimes over Sheaf as skipper any day.

    Grimes needs to be skipper IMO. Sheaf to sheep strokers? Call him an Uber. Get the money. I’d rather let Sheaf go for 6m than MVE any day of the week.

    That the best you can do? Yes, I happened to (about 5 years ago) question the wisdom of spaffing a big chunk of our minuscule wage budget on a 33 year old Waghorn when we didn’t need that type of player. It turns out we wasted a big wad of money on him. I’ll own being correct there. Instead I...

    Aled had all the badges. Russel Slade had all the badges. Cech has all the trophies. Do we need someone who can measure progressive passing stats and nutrition intake or whatever they give badges for or do have enough of them and need a coach on the team who goalies will look up to, knows how...

    No no. Don’t be churlish. It looks like we have a problem with our keeper coaching. I merely suggested that one of the best goalkeepers in the past 20 years might pick up an SOS from Frank Lampard. Give a better suggestion or are we sticking with sass?
