You can take Wilson if you must, but I'd rather you just took McManus and Caldwell. With regards to setting a fee for these transfers, I refer you back to comments made by yourself just 15 months ago: "But, if I wanted to make sure I got somebody who is far better than McManus and Gary, I would have to pay Ł15m to Ł20m and that’s not going to happen." In light of these comments, I feel it is neccessary to set a minimum transfer fee of Ł12million for both of these players. I feel I have been fair here in removing Ł3million from the final balance due to the status of Gary Caldwells contract, and the fact both players are utter pish. Cheers for nothing, Jamiemc60 KDS I'd far rather he took our 2 top centre halfs he kept talking about than the players mentioned. Anyone else agree? apart from you Jamie???

His only legacy is the goalkeepers mate. What about the trophies?

Where are they getting games?

Anyway, that's baws. We've had a litany of centre-halves playing there that were a joke and a slew of under-21s 'come through' for fifteen minutes before getting appropriately binned. And there's also Camara and the supposed teacher's pet he kept out of the team when fit in Paaul Telfer. He's poor going forward but the boy can defend. And in terms of being far wrt his legacy there's no doubt who scouted, bought and played Nakamura. His goals against the Hun and Man U will live in the memory as long as some of the Henrik highlights. (That's just an example there were plenty of other highlights.)

He has been left dross at the Riverside with maybe one or two exceptions and has to get players in he knows and trusts.

FFS, limited though he is, he wasn't even close to being the worst full back during Strachan's reign! Have Paul Telfer, Mo Camara, Ross Wallace, Gary Caldwell, Barry Robson, Darren O' Dea and Lee naylor playing there been wiped from your memory?

Four of these names were only used at full back as stop gaps and Telfer doesn't deserve to be in your wee group of names either. He never let us down that i can recall.

Southgate had them at the top of the league, they've not lost a hell of a lot of players. If Southgate can do it then surely the greatest Celtic manager since Jock Stein can?

I'm aware they were only there as stop gaps but their performances when playing there were enough to show how decent Wilson is by contrast, and while I agree that Telfu was villified to an unfair extent at times he was still not as good as Wilson, imo.

Wilson , Robson , Flood 3 of his dundee utd signings , Caldwell , Killen 2 of his hibees and Mcmanus. pile all them down onto him for a start get a few mill and then we can work on others for better fees.

Fair enough but I still can't agree with you on the Telfer/Wilson merits.

new season, fresh hope Posts: 6,572 Group: Snr. Member Member #27 Joined: 31 August 2004 Favourite all-time player Bobby Murdoch	If he has money to spend, and plenty of it, he can have any of the duds he left us with, but Wilson and Robson won't be expensive. It would be Robsons last chance for a few quid and I wouldn't grudge him that, and for Wilson, a bit of experience and a move onto the championship merry-go-round that creates a few bob. However Mr Strachan, don't you dare leave Caldwell and McManus here.

A novel idea Madtim. Drive them down to Strachan's front door in the middle of the night with a note round their necks. "This is for you, pay us when you can!"

Something must have been wrong for Southgate to be sacked then as Gibson is one of the most supportive and fair chairmen around. Anyway I think what holds good for Tony holds good for Strachan.

It wasn't results for Southgate, it was attendances. If Gibson was a bit less patient they'd still be in the Premier League. His patience may well be honourable, but they're in the Championship now and he's never had a decent manager there, and his current appointment does nothing to buck the trend. If they think the football was bad under Southgate they don't know what's coming.
