Cmon Robbie where is that money bid for Butch?....then we can really put a player in with Fuchs who can play a bit.

The Butch is class, hopefully here for a long time yet, just what we need in there, captain when Reynolds doesn't play and will probably be the captain when Reynolds is gone, him, Fuchs and Harkes are really good together when there's is a back four behind them, see Saturday and Pittodrie in April and even Celtic home (0-0)

He gets right up opponents fans noses too, had the Sevco fans were raging on their match thread

Dunno why some of these guys aren't appreciated more, you will never build a strong squad getting rid of players like that who are very decent and have played over 100 games, we need to learn from the Levein/Houston era, it's not rocket science, sign better than him by all means, then you add strength in depth, get rid of lesser players like Hoti if you must

Fuchs is class though agree but Butcher compliments him well, there are defo games where all three won't be needed and that's where we need some creativity signed

His goals got us out the championship, and i'll always be grateful to him for that.

Absolutely bang on.

But I'm a bit disappointed to see recent criticism of Shanks because we never, ever at any time put the players around him that could link and penetrate to create chances that he thrives on.

Big thanks and good luck Lawrence.

Wee boys getting carried away with one great performance and result here.....

Where was Butcher Harkes and Pawlett at Pittodrie. Never saw anyone raving about THAT performance.

Or the pathetic display at Forfar or the abject non performance at Hampden. But one good game v Sevco and suddenly weve got Baresi and Pirlo.

£1,000,2270 I think at today's rate.

But what isn't yet clear is if that's the proposed fee or what it would be worth with add ons. If it's a £1m fee it's double what their first offer was rumoured to be.

The article says 'just over €1M'. Later in the article it says €1.18M.

Burns claiming its a six figure fee with add ons to take it over £1M.
