Transfer rumour thread 20/21

[Arabdownsouth]

When are these ****s getting kicked out of the league anyway ffs? Absolutely sick to **** of the *******s. Robbie Nielson has no ****ing class whatsoever, proved it with that ****ing suit tbh. **** Hearts!!!

[Arabdownsouth]

Sorry for the outburst lads, not been a good day all round. Called back into work today after 17 weeks on furlough, by dinnertime the *******s had sent out redundancy notices to every **** 😕

Have to disagree, In the current circumstances, he is, with the turmoil and lack of prep we have had, no new signings, would be a huge huge blow, he is underrated too

We need to keep what we have and add to improve the strength and depth

I'd go as far to say it would be the difference between relegation battle and just staying clear of it

Of course it would be a blow, and I agree we need to strengthen, but to say he's irreplaceable? Nah, not for me. He was good last season but look at the sh*te we were playing. His game is based around being a battering ram. 8 yellow cards in 22 appearances is proof of this. I suspect he'll not be quite so effective next season against better, faster players. He was one of our worst players against Hibs and average at best in his last spell with us in the big league. I'd be delighted to be proved wrong but I don't see him getting any better at his age tbh. I think he'll be a very average CM next season.

Underrated based on what?

Agree. I think Butcher would be good cover for CM & CB and that's it.

[tHeArAb]

We should never deal with Hearts ever again, under any circumstances even if a player wants to go there, and there should be a sign in the training room bogs at St Andrews saying exactly that.

Agreed.

FFS - that's awful news for you mate.

Reckon there's gonna be a lot of this going on over next few months. Heartbreaking situation for everyone that faces redundancy.

Based on 2014/15 when he was excellent in midfield in a very good Utd side and another reason we went down hill, him and fojut leaving on top of the obvious sales

Butcher was average in midfield back then and only played if Paton or Rankin was injured. Fojut was excellent to start with then slowly faded away.

That and long term injuries for Paton and Morris. Plus letting Rado leave. Selling Nads. Oh, and also thinking Spittal and Telfer were good enough to carry the midfield. And signing Donnie Darko and a smacked up ‘Dave’ Snjeider on last minute panic buy YouTube signings. Also, bringing in Zwick, Smornick, Donaldson and Durnan and thinking they’d provide a watertight, reliable defence from the get go. Going with the same 4-2-3-1 when we no longer had anywhere near the quality we’d had in order to justify that set up. And I’ve even got this far without mentioning the pisshead from Killie who naebody else would touch and who barely kicked a ball for us.

Bloody hell, no wonder we went down.
