Tottenham snatched Bissouma and Richarlison, nice moves this window. Spence seems guaranteed for right-wingback, and I'm curious about who they'll get for centre-back, they might go for a relative unknown. It's great that they're getting the players early, so they'll enjoy a full pre-season of preparation. I'm excited to watch them play.

Not so sure about Richarlison move, he's not guaranteed a game nevermind any success! He deserves better than Everton though!

At least we're doing stuff properly for a change. Already tied up the four Hitokiri lol, Carter-Vickers (you underestimated "the fridge" lol, hope he's as solid in CL) and Jota joined today on full deals aswell as Seigrist, a very good backup for Joe Hart, and the young Argie Bernabei remains to be seen if he's even in the 1st team plans but I'm still waiting on somthing a bit more physical in the middle to help Mcgregor but so far so good!

And over at Rangers we have decided to give new contracts to 3 young players in Allan McGregor/Steve Davis and Connor Goldson. Hopefully these youngsters get to show their potential :rofl2:

I think he'll compete with Kulusevski for the RW position, but both will get plenty of gametime, because they're also preferred rotative options for other positions (Richarlison LW and ST, Kulusevski RWB and CM).

Have yous put them in the baby pool to see if it holds any age defying properties? :rofl: still good to hold onto those 3 though because I was really hoping all 3 would get te :tpi::rofl2:

@Dark_Phoras, I hope he can do well he's a player I admire but I think he sees himself as the main striker but that could be good for Spurs obviously, he'll need to step up to compete for that. Is this the year for a cup win then or you feeling it for a title challenge?

I can see Tottenham challenging for the Champions League and the domestic cups, but I think in the Premier League the top 4 is the realistic objective, because the squad isn't good enough to keep up with Manchester City's regularity. Let's see if they manage to reach the quality of 16/17's squad, depending on Romero's partner in centre-back and how well Bissouma and Spence fit into the team.

Sad news again. Gods eleven just got the best back up Goalie..... (Sorry but Jonny Thomson has been first choice since 1931!)

The Goalie was immense in his time ofcourse, broke our hearts on far too many occasions. I'm sure Tommy Burns will be the one to welcome him. RIP.

Hi folks, nearly there for the start of the season. I have a quick survey about a personal musing; what is your opinion about the scottish league system being fused with the english league system? I think it'd be great to see Celtic and Rangers playing with clubs of their stature, and reaching in the least the financial level of Aston Villa, West Ham, Leicester.

Never gonna happen in our lifetime as the English League and it's memebers know fine well we would dominate down there aswell.

I had plenty of conversations with English fans when I was a tour guide at Celtic..... The sheer size and history of the Old Firm would guarantee we could be front runners for any player if we had access to the kind of cash being thrown about down there.

Man City and Chelsea as an example.... These are NOT big clubs. They are RICH clubs. If you had Celtic or Rangers offering the wages to these players they would pick us all day long if we were in that League but unfortunately as it stands we can hardly compete with fucking Brighton or someone of that stature and the reality in England just now is good players go for big money but absolute shite go for double figures aswell. They could come here and win trophies but the money and the EPL is the attraction.

We're under no illusions up here. We absolutely get it, players just don't wanna go to Aberdeen or Ross County on a freezing cold rainy windy day (or even midweek mid January) when they know they could be getting raped by Liverpool at Anfield for a fuck ton more money.

So the be all and end all is money. Money we could have access to but there is jealousy and genuine fear of us joining the English League due to that.

Personally, I'd love to see it on one hand but on the other.... I love the Scottish game and don't want to see it disappear. We have the oldest trophy in the world in the Scottish Cup and I love the history around that trophy and the hands it's been passed through. The FA Cup also has it's history as the oldest competition in the world but your on the fourth or fifth trophy due to thefts and losses and accidents lol but I've really fucking wandered now!!!! What was the question again?? Oh yeah....

Aye and Naw :rofl:

But also..... SEASONS NEARLY HERE :toot::grog:
