Transfer Window

If we can't afford Nisbet, I doubt we could afford Dykes.
I'd say he'd be on a hefty wedge at the Brum.

How much would it take to sign Nisbet or Dykes?

For example Hanley would have been on a fair amount at Norwich but I cant see him being on anywhere near that at Hibs.

I would have thought Nisbet in particular would be willing to come up here for £6-7k a week with a signing on fee.

From what I have read it sounds like Yengi was made one of our top earners to convince him to come up here.

Hanley is 33, so maybe wages were less of a motivation at this point, as would have made his money.

Dykes I suspect would have offers in England as did ok with QPR initially, I couldn't say if he played much at Birmingham.

I believe Yengi is the type of player Jimmy wanted for the role. No idea if that is true or not, but it would explain a lot.

His career record isn't great, but hopefully he comes good for us if he is what we are going with.

I dont know how it works with football players wages like some people claim to on other forums so im just guessing.

I agree that Hanley has probably come to an age where wages arent as important and he is looking for first team football.

Dykes never played much for Birmingham in league 1 but as you said he done ok at QPR so could probably get another move in England for better wages than we can offer.

Nisbet will be on a good salary at Millwall but he hasnt really been a success in England so would maybe struggle to get a decent move down there, I think there is a chance that we could get him back up here if we really wanted.

It?s early days for Yengi but he is going to have to improve very quickly. I have read that Thelin doesnt necessarily look for his strikers to score 15 to 20 goals and it?s more about them bringing others into play.

From the 2 games I have seen of Yengi so far he cant do any of that either, hopefully he proves people wrong but he is going to have to show some sort of sign of being capable of being our main striker in the next few games.

Holy fkn sh1t Rico, if that is indeed the case then whoever sanctioned that deal needs their head looked as they are obviously nae correctly wired up.
Jeeezuz fkn wept

Hanley was out of contract, so his bargaining power was limited somewhat by that.

Nisbet and Dykes are not out of contract so they are far more in control of what they do for this season.

Personally, Id have Nisbet back over Dykes. I like Dykes, but he's mega injury prone and we really could do without a guy on mega wages (in our terms) who spends half the time on the treatment table.

Nisbet ended up with 14 goals last year - not a bad return given he took half the season to get fit and get going.

Proven goal scorer and would do a job again Im sure. Might have to be another loan for the final year of his contract though Im sure Millwall would prefer to sell. All comes down to the finances I guess - what the club and player want.

I really don't want to write Yengi off, but we cannot get away from the fact his performance on Monday was very poor and quite concerning.

He's a big unit, but was physically weak and easily handled by the diet CH's. Halkett is smaller than him but won every header they contested - unlike at the back for us where Hearts won at least half the ariel challenges (not good enough by us by a long way).

Yengi just didn't seem to have the heart for the battle. That's just not going to cut it up here, so lets hope he can show us why the club were so keen to get him onboard in the next game or two.

Bojan Miovski is coming home?.we are going to smash our transfer record and get the deal done to secure him. He won?t be our only striker signing as I have been assured that another player familiar to us is very close to signing.

The loon we have supposedly been chasing from one of the Milan clubs is apparently back on, according to social media reports.

Just awaiting a permit for him, if rumours to be believed.

Marko Lazetic is his name and like all signings we now make, I have never heard of him.

And he hasn't scored much in way of goals either

[swaddon2]

He'll be the perfect fit for us then.

Yip, ticks all the boxes 👍

We don?t have a good squad of players currently and they cannot be trusted to get results. The (supposed) 4 signings we make have to have real substance about them or we are in real danger of regression this season rather than progression.
I will say that not one signing made by the club this season has impressed me. They are all lacking in ability and guile.
It is not a great look for our current recruitment team. Pathetic in reality.

I'm glad to see that you still know nothing about football, if you can't see that Aouchiche is a real talent then football is the wrong sport for you

Aye, but he's lazy.....

I agree, Aouchiche looks to be a very clever player and I predict that he and also Milanovic will be extremely good signings for us. The latter was quieter today compared to the Hearts game - pity that we didn?t sing Hearts Braga who looks really good but they don’t have a Yengi!
