Anyone else hear about new balance/warrior kit deal from next season. I know the last few nike strips have been below average but I think they are selling more training leisure wear now although judging my nikes barca tops for next year might be a blessing can see them trying to get horizontal stripes to replace the hoops

Hi Ed, I saw that Armstrong signed a three year deal this week instead of something longer. I can't remember the last time we didn't sign a player to at least 4, GMS signed for four-and-a-half for example. Any idea why this is the case? I thought we would have tied him down for as long as possible.

{Ed007's Note - It was a 3 1/2 year deal Armstrong signed bud, all contracts in football end on 30th of June - dependant on the specific FA's league structure of when their season starts and ends - I have no idea why it was only 3 1/2, maybe something to do with his law degree and the young lad plans to re-evaluate his life at that point. I'd take a guess that it was the player's side of things that length of deal came from, I'm sure the club would have wanted a longer one.}

Typo there I meant three and a half, really, I did haha. It's just we've had a habit of moving on our players after 2/3 years in the past for a profit, Wanyama was 2 and Ki was 2 and a half for example. Can see us getting done in a few years for not getting him on a longer deal.

{Ed007's Note - You're think way too far ahead lol. Kick back and relax, I don't think any of us will here in three years, how's that for a depressing outlook on life. :=D

I believe the kick back and relax approach was the one a certain Sir David Murray took hahah .

{Ed007's Note - Now there's a man that's got an even bleaker future than mine!}

No doubt if Armstrong demands a move after about 18 months he will be gone in two years . On the other hand if he turns out like Lustig or Izzy he will sign a new contract after about 18 months to 2 years .

Chris02 give the boy a break. He hasn't even played a game for club yet people are already speculating how long he will stay

Not me chum, someone queried the three and a half year deal and I give many different options including him sign a new deal.

ed can sevco sign 5 players from one team I thought 2 was limit.

{Ed007's Note - Of course they can do it, that's why they did.}

If they were allowed to sign and the Scottish Compliance Officer, I have no doubt they could play Newcastle UTD who played mid week and play them at week end if they wanted .

{Ed007's Note - There's no limit on international loans, the 2 loan rule only applies in Scotland and only regarding domestic loans.}

Ed is there another rule that you cannot get any more than three from the one team mate?

{Ed007's Note - Domestically you're not allowed to loan more than three from one club.}

Why has Scottish Football authorities laid off their Compliance Officer, was he really getting paid from Ibrox and did Ashley's axe take him down .

LMAO So they've broken the rules again then because there nothing "domesticated" about them Ed they're all knuckle draggers :-)

Can all th ed new signings play against inter ed?

{Ed007's Note - Armstrong, GMS and Guidetti will all be eligible for the EL and included in the squad registered with UEFA.}

Cheers ed for some reason I thought you could only add one player . Can you play if you have already plAyed in Europe this season for example podolski who I think already played in cl with Arsenal?

{Ed007's Note - Inter have added Santon and Shaqiri. It was either Podolski or Shaqiri as they have played in Europe already.}

I hear Podoski is not in the Inter Europa list . I am not surprised I think he flatters to deceive .
