Reports we are interested in Chilean winger Dario Osorio who plays in Denmark. I have been aware of him for a couple of years now and is very highly rated. Liverpool were reportedly interested in the summer.
Although the same report has Sevco holding an interest too so im convinced the report is a non starter as his valuation could be as high as 8m. Sevco haven't a chance with that price.
I also notice Oh has been doing well since moving to Belgium. Scoring 3 goals in only 105minutes played. He has also just scored his 1st for Korea.
I think there is a player in there with Oh and IMO we shouldn't have been too quick to sell him. A loan with 1st team football could have benefitted him and us.
Also Bernebei rumoured to be moving to Brazil permanently after impressing there. 3m fee potentially.
{Ed007's Note - Dario Osorio (LW) Ajax have a sustained interest with Wolves, Fulham and Aston Villa all having sent scouts. The issue will be a Work Permit in England unless paying well over the odds for him or signing him as an exception - which clubs don't like to do.}

Cheers Ed, He is a very good player so im hoping our interest is real. Possibly a replacement for palma.
{Ed007's Note - ??

Lagerbielke away to fc twente on loan. Good move for him. Hopefully will get made permanent.
A few sites claiming we have bid £5m for sheffield Utds Austin Trusty. I don't really know much about him.
Ed, is their any substance to this mate?
{Ed007's Note - Yes there seems to be, we are in talks with Sheffield Utd over Trusty and us selling them Mikey Johnston.}
1.) 27 Aug 2024 13:07:46
I didn’t realise Trusty was an International teammate of CCV.
That must be a bonus and maybe the big man recommended him.
2.) 27 Aug 2024 14:00:12
Until some international clashes with our games buzz ?.
3.) 27 Aug 2024 21:44:14
Is Trusty even better than scales?
25 Aug 2024 01:16:46
Dara O'shea missed burnely's match today as he's on the verge of signing for ipswich.
Fee believed to be around £15m. We didn't stand a chance if that's the fee they held out for.
1.) 25 Aug 2024 08:27:46
Imagine that ?.
2.) 25 Aug 2024 10:36:06
He’s very decent, so that fee isn’t surprising, that’s why we wanted him on loan with a 10 million fixed fee, no protracted negotiations to let others in . We failed. Thie list of targets that we through the media are aware of is getting smaller every day, that’s the worrying part, except of course if we have a seconday list that nobody is aware of.
16 Aug 2024 11:19:00
Fabrizio romano claiming atalanta on the verge of signing samardzic from udinese. He was seen as orileys back up apparantly. Great news if true but we will still do well to hold on to him.
1.) 16 Aug 2024 12:01:17
DT,
I've just read an article suggesting Udinese have set the fee at 25M Euros with both AC Milan and Atalanta interested.
If that is indeed the asking price we'll be nowhere near those conversions.

@ Derry Tim
MOR and his agent know that he will eventually move to a bigger league and that is why MOR is not making waves, whether in this window or next the bhoynwill get his big move, so enjoy him while we can.
3.) 16 Aug 2024 12:56:52
Sorry Pedro this has been miscommunicated. What i meant was samardzic was to be orileys back up for atalanta if they could not get oriley. Not orileys replacement for us.
4.) 16 Aug 2024 16:42:38
It's been clear that the player is not unsettled, unhappy or pushing buttons like some in the past. It's also refreshing that our Board are holding firm on our valuation and seem in no rush to sell.
Obviously there is still a chance he could leave, but if so I hope it's not on deadline day with no time to replace or redress.
5.) 16 Aug 2024 17:05:43
DT,
my apologies as I've misread your original post - doh!

If Lawwell was in charge MOR would have been press banged and bundled on board a private jet and flew to Atalanta. ?.
09 Aug 2024 11:19:38
Bosun Lawal set to sign for stoke in next 24hrs. £2m with addons being mentioned.
Very surprised by this, thought he could have been a useful squad player for us with potential to break into the 1st team.
He obviously hasn't impressed rodgers though so we must trust his judgement. Pity we can't shift lagerbielke and nawrocki as quick.
1.) 09 Aug 2024 11:34:35
2m with add ons decent for a reserve 3m in total. feck with oh vata and now him idah costing heehaw. got to love the board best run club in world football.
2.) 09 Aug 2024 11:52:32
Don’t be surprised mate, the board will take any money they can especially if it’s someone who came through the youth ranks, business first then a football club second.
As much as I agree we need to be financially stable for our club to survive we don’t exactly need the extra money, I’ve seen enough of Iwata to say I think Lawal should be given a chance instead, but I may be wrong and Lawal may have asked to leave, I wouldn’t be surprised as we rarely give youth a chance nowadays, it’s no surprise these young guys want to move away when there’s no chance of progression, Doak, Lawal, young Daniel Kelly also.
3.) 09 Aug 2024 13:13:01
What is it with "the board" rubbish.
Do you think the boy would be going if Brendan thought he had a future at the club.
He is one of the boys along with Holm that Brendan mentioned that had to try harder, he has seen him another few times and has decided that the boy doesn't have it unlike Holm who was in the squad against Killie and came on for the last 15mins.
4.) 09 Aug 2024 13:29:21
I agree Mick and as I've only seen a glimpse of the lad against Chelsea, I don't think he's anywhere near our first team.
Good luck to the bhoy.
☘️ ☘️ ☘️.
5.) 09 Aug 2024 13:33:25
Mick, there is no way Lawal is anywhere near Iwatas quality. He is slow, clumsy and cannot pass. Good luck to him at Stoke but he is nowhere near good enough for us.
6.) 09 Aug 2024 14:12:17
2million foe bosun, well done rhe board for getting 2 million for him.
7.) 09 Aug 2024 15:31:39
I never said Lawal was anywhere near iwata’s qualities, I said I’ve seen enough of iwata to comment that I think Lawal deserves a chance. He’s young yes, he’s still very raw with mistakes but let’s face it lads, he’s good enough to play in the Scottish Premiership so why not try him alongside mcgregor to learn the ropes and improve? He’s a different type of midfielder to what we currently have, big and strong and he earned rave reviews at fleetwood last season, worth a try in my opinion, iwata is a poor man’s mcgregor, neat and tidy but not as good.
The point I’m making is that I think he’s off due to the lack of direction he’s going at Celtic, why do so many younger plays want to leave nowadays? can’t imagine because it’s solely they’re not good enough, just my honest opinion.
8.) 09 Aug 2024 17:10:54
Mick, I genuinely do not think there is any clear path for them. They get to the periphery of the first team and the path beyond that appears very difficult or non existent.
They get a game or two at the end of the season, may get into the first team squad but very very few will get further.
Unfortunately we do not seem to want to keep many and they see no real future with us and move on in the hope they will get game time elsewhere.
We demand success as a club and appear happier to take other club projects to try and develop them, which makes you wonder if we really value or appreciate the ones who come through our system.
Is it financial or just ticking a box, I don't know but we no longer produce the CM, KT or Jamseis anymore and it doesn't look if we are really trying to.
The whole Scottish setup is poor for young players but as a club we are pushing to have 2 quality players in each position, and cutting the squad size, which doesn't leave many opportunities.
9.) 09 Aug 2024 17:51:54
Think this is a mistake, could be the powerful midfielder we are missing.
10.) 09 Aug 2024 18:19:22
I don't think we will miss him as any time i've seen any footage of him playing his control is very poor and he just looks like a very average footballer.
11.) 09 Aug 2024 22:31:05
We need to remember that most young footballers starting off make mistakes when they get there first taste of professional football, every player needs to start out somewhere so I think it’s unrealistic to really judge Lawal when he hasn’t really been given a chance.
There’s no doubt some lads in the youth set up maybe just aren’t good enough to cut it, but I just don’t think we value the youth players as much as we should. I may be wrong but is this why this new position has been created? Player pathway manager or something like that that Darren O’Dea got promoted to?
The eredivisie is of course a better league than ours with possibly more resources but you just look at the talent Ajax produce from there youth over the years, I know we may not be at that level but I feel we need to start looking at there blueprint and direction and how they actually develop lads from a young age.
We take far too many project players from other clubs that have turned out to be a disaster over the years which has cost a fortune when added up. You might get lucky with the odd one with the likes of wanyama but you lose out more often than not.

Is this the 1st time since the oniell years where we have 3 very good cbs who can be trusted to do a job week in week out? Trusty, scales and ccv all have been terrific. Scales is by far the most improved player in scotland over the past 18 months. Ill admit i was iffy with the signing of trusty but what a signing he has been. I love being proved wrong in these instances. Ccv is very reliable and apart from midweek rarely puts a foot wrong.
Id like to see welsh and nawrocki moved on in january and bring in a young 18/ 19yr old from somewhere as 4th choice.
This for me is the best options we have had at cb since balde, valgaeran and mjallby. The best thing is all 3 still have yet to hit their prime and with us playing more euro games now with this new format they will only get better.
Also i think johnston could be on his way to becoming our best rb since mcgrain. If he stays long term i think its nailed on.
We just need to prioritize that lb spot in january. Sell taylor to the highest bidder in january as opposed to letting him run his contract down. I don't know what his contract demands are but we need an improvement on him so spend the wages elsewhere. Valle has been incredible and id love to see us make him permanent although i think he will have his heart set on returning to Barcelona in which case you couldn't blame him. The kid will go right to the top.
1.) 01 Dec 2024 04:56:25
Our CB’s give us the option of playing 3 at the back.
They have a good balance with Trusty on the right, CCV in the middle and Scales on the left.
2.) 01 Dec 2024 05:47:10
Taylor won't be going any where, apart from Macgregor he has been our most consistant player in the last five years. Valle is going back to Barcelona in the summer. Dane Murrey playing with Queens Park will come in to the squad next year along with Anderson. to keep our scottish contingent up to the numbers. hopefully this will see more youth development.
3.) 01 Dec 2024 09:50:51
Jonace, taylors contract is up in the summer. If he hasn't signed by the end of the year he will be replaced in january, whether he stays til the summer or not. I can't see him going anywhere other than englands championship. he's been a good servent but is by far the weak link in our defence.
Buzz, i would like to see us try 3 at the back with 2 up top from time to time in the league. It would put more pressure on teams parking the bus. Wont happen though as rodgers doesn't like.
28 Nov 2024 23:10:01
Johnny Kenny scored again tonight away to rapid vienna. His 5th european goal of the season. Id love to see him get a loan spell at the likes of aberdeen. At only 21 he clearly has something. Just need to provide him with the correct developement.
1.) 29 Nov 2024 11:49:11
If he is getting a loan deal he needs to make sure he is playing.
2.) 29 Nov 2024 18:58:04
Probably more a motherwell really.
28 Nov 2024 13:34:44
We are already 95% in the top 24. Another point or 2 will guarantee that.
I think brugge were very well organized and for me deserved the win on the basis of play. So i think in that respect its definitely a point gained. Brugge are an inferior team to leipzig who we spanked and as we were so poor for the majority of the match on paper its 2 points lost for me. If we want to make our mark at this level these are games we need to win.
The good news is we are sitting in 20th and still only 2 points off 5th place with 9 points to play for.
Our next 2 matches in croatia and at home to bottom team young boys are both very winable games. But we need to improve on tonights showing as that performance wasnt good at all.
Ill be very disappointed if we don't take 4 points from the next 2 games.
If we can manage 6 points it sets us up for a cracker of a tie at villa with a chance of an automatic place.
I might be a bit harsh but im still quite frustrated with the performance or some individual permances if anything.
1.) 28 Nov 2024 14:15:59
A think we will get the pts needed to progress but a honestly don't think it b in Croatia hope am wrong.
2.) 28 Nov 2024 15:30:13
We where poor in first half they where tidy . but for the OG I think we'd have won . but they deserved a point. ccv Engels and to lesser extent hatate never had good nights we need 11 having good games at this level.
3.) 28 Nov 2024 16:02:19
I think we suffered a dip at Tynecastle and again last night. possibly as a loss of momentum after the Internationals. The good news is that we would probably have lost both these games in the past and it's a credit to the team - and manager that we worked to sort ourselves out at half-time in these games and improved.
I will say this however; we need to utilize the squad with the amount of games we play and give players under-par a rest, especially in the SPL in games like the one coming up against Ross county. .
27 Nov 2024 22:06:13
On the basis that we never got out of 3rd gear i feel that's 2 points dropped.
We got let off with their goal. Im not a fan of marginal offsides. Id have been gutted if that was us.
Ccv and trusty too slow in moving it out. Valle needs to start every game going forward. Taylor was poor as was engels and both rightly hooked.
Hatate was shocking tonight.
Mcgregor tried his best but wasnt helped by the pish beside him.
Valle our best player tonight and he only played 30min.
Great chance to finish in top 8 missed and will be very difficult to acheive that now.
1.) 27 Nov 2024 22:52:23
Time for scales to be brought back in. The offside I thought was pretty clear. Had a terrible feeling as soon as Schmeichel moved to the side offering khun an option that we were about to conceded a own goal. CCV trying a no look pass is unforgivable. We continue to shoot ourselves in the foot at this level. So frustrating.
27 Nov 2024 12:54:30
Morning Hoops.
I think if we can take the lead in the 1st 10/ 15min tonight im confident we will win comfortably. 3-1 win for me.
On a side note i see we are being linked with young ferguson from brighton on loan. It'll never happen as we won't drop idah and kyogo. But the best part of the link is the sevvies are also linked with him. I also seen a zombie page on facebook urging their board to do all they can to make the deal happen. I nearly pissed myself reading their comments.
Not one mentioned the fact he's Irish. Their gullabilty in thinking he would even entertain a move is next level. That lot can't fail in providing good entertainment.
1.) 27 Nov 2024 14:20:42
I fancy Celtic to win 2-1 tonight.
I’ve bet Celtic to score at least 2 goals,
Also Celtic to get at least 6 corners double at 13/ 5.
It’s a £5 free bet, so the winnings is only worth £13.
2.) 27 Nov 2024 18:07:11
I've gone Engles any time (hoping he starts and we get a pen) , btts and Celtic most corners 10/ 1.
07 Dec 2024 20:45:02
He deserves a chance with the 1st team to see what he's got. he's had an excellent loan spell and still very young. He could be an adequate 3rd choice for now but another loan to an spfl team might be a good move also.
13 Nov 2024 13:04:36
I think 5.3m for the best young midfielder in scotland is a fair price. Motherwell have every right to hold out for that fee. Young Miller should be our priority in January and hopefully we act quick as clubs in england will be hovering as well.
09 Nov 2024 20:45:00
I like taylor but we need better if we are to progress.
13 Oct 2024 05:24:49
Cheers Ed, He is a very good player so im hoping our interest is real. Possibly a replacement for palma.
{Ed007's Note - ??
05 Sep 2024 02:31:06
Montgomery is probably in for home grown rules?! Holm isn't home grown.
{Ed001's Note - is he under 21? There is a B list as well as the main one that is submitted. The B list can contain an unlimited number of players - they just have to be under 21s.}
07 Dec 2024 07:02:35
Holm, welsh and nawrocki are 3 of the few deadwood still at the club. We have done brilliantly in getting so many of them moved on in the last year or so.
Bernebei, palma and lagerbielke are 3 others need moved on permanently.
Thats 6 senior players that can still be moved on permanently for decent money.
Replace them with local youngsters like cummings, miller, murray etc. Its not like the 6 of them have anything to offer anyway.
And id like yang sent out on loan.
07 Dec 2024 06:54:13
Martin Baturina is their best player by a distance. If we keep him quiet we should win. They are a decent side and like us have so far defied expectations. They are a step or 2 above bratislava but a step or 2 below brugge. IMO.
05 Dec 2024 21:14:24
Young cummings needs to be intergrated with the 1st team soon.
05 Dec 2024 00:36:29
GT has already been offered a new contract and its probably still on the table. Im not sure whether its money related or not. For me GT would be a great back up LB although he's too good for a back up. I don't think he's good enough for our main LB though. This gets shown too often against better opposition in europe.
LB and a striker need to be priorizied in january along with signing miller. Kyogo needs replaced. Not scoring enough goals, i think he's on like 5 or 6 for the season which just isn't good enough for our main striker. Struggled last season for goals too. Great movement and work rate but not a goalscorer.
01 Dec 2024 21:14:05
Same team with khun for forrest the only change for me. Im certain if idah is give a run of games the goals will start to flow. Kyogo just isn't scoring enough these days.
