Maybe if Bitton has a good season we'll be able to cash in on him? I'm sure he'd fit in well at Southampton. |

anyone at all upfront who could lead the line and hold the ball to allow us to keep posession would have made a huge difference in malmo. even outwith his goal rosenborg was fantastic up front for them and he is an average player the manager and players were to blame for getting pumped out rather than a lack of investment though Edited by Zurawski 7, 2 Sep 2015, 03:20 PM.

What is it with this anti Mulgrew nonsense. Every time we muck it up on the field or in the transfer market he is made the scapegoat. He certainly isn't the worst player in our squad by any means yet gets slagged off at every opportunity. As for our board, yes they have missed several opportunities to sign a half decent striker and/or left back and failed but I would rather we had a board who ensured that the club were financially secure than being like that mob across the river

A decent striker would've made a difference away from home. |

The point I am making is not that we don't lack a striker; we do. I'm saying that we have better players than Malmo in almost every position. I'm saying we operate on many times their budget. Malmo would love to have Leigh Griffiths in their squad - they couldn't afford his wages though. The failure to get past Malmo was not a result of not buying a striker - we had more than enough to negotiate our way through that tie. Again, that's not to say we shouldn't have invested some decent money on a forward but the one should never be used as an excuse for the other. |

Also quite odd given our 'policy' of not letting players run their deals down. Another load of shampooe. |

I think a malaise has infected the club, squad and support where everyone knows that any half decent playet will be sold and those remaining aren't quite up to the job of going down south. This can affect the mentality of everybody so we actually shampooe ourselves at the thought of playing average clubs because we know its make or break and the guys on the pitch aren't good enough to ensure definite qualification. Deila talks a good game both about mentality & fitness but in his first major test(I'm not counting last seasons qualifiers) he's been found wanting. The whole system is flawed because the years of qualifying under Lennon was actually done of the back of a squad put together in Lennon's first summer in charge where we invested the money from McGeady's sale in player acquisitions. |

He'll hit a run of 5 or 6 games good games... the press and the messageboards will start bleating "surely he's done enough for a new deal?!" Rumours of Bolton's interest will circulate around December. "It would be a tragedy to lose him on a free" etc etc. Then BAM. Four year extension. Then BAM. Loss of form. I've seen the future. |

I agree we've made some poor choices on strikers in particular....and hopefully something is being done to strengthen our scouting and medicals so we get fewer duds and crocks, and also strengthen our coaching and general support of these players so that more "potential" is turned in to "useful" The strategy we're working on will probably always generate more rubbish and mediocrity than genuine quality ....but our success rate needs to get a lot better than it is right now, especially when you add in the poor rate of players from our youths making the step up. |

We try not to let the ones we can sell on for a decent fee run their contract down....Mulgrew isn't as bad as some make out, but I doubt if anyone outside Scotland would really have an interest in him, so chances of even getting a couple of hundred grand are slim. |

We could have probably got reasonable coin for Samaras. Instead we let him go for nothing when the manager wanted to sign him up (rightly or wrongly). |

Rosenberg is better than Griffiths tbh. We played awfully against them away but Malmo do have some good talent. Yotun is better than Mulgrew. Lewicki is very good. Rodic and Berget played very well also. |

I thought he had a year left. How come Matthews gets punted but Mulgrew remains? Really doesn't make sense at all. No consistency. |

Matthews wouldn't sign a new deal and we got a decent fee for him. It's probably a combination of Mulgrew intimating that he wants to stay and there being no interest in him (or at least nobody willing to pay decent money for him). |
