why do think that? We seem like a good fit for a player looking to play some games at a good level?

No they won't. His stock is probably as high as it's going to get. Let him go and get him back in a few years.

I'm sure the would have. Personally, I'd cash in at c.£300k if anyone comes up with the cash.

Were we? I genuinely didn't know that. I wore mine on entry but didn't have it on while the game was on....the majority of those around me didn't have theirs on either.

You could probably look back over the last 20 years and we'd be saying the same thing every year.

Fuxake..

I know someone who got theirs on Saturday.

We can't get too hung up about it though.....it's effectively what happened to ICT when we pinched 2 of those players about 18 months ago.

I think that's the good things about having most of the squad pretty much signed for next season. I think our transfer window will be a few specific place fillers, a few loans and then replacements for the ones we may/may not sell. Decent place to be in to be honest....lots of teams still looking to fill 8/10 places.

Yes, agreed. Tierney is perfect in that left centre back position. I think you have to get a system to get your best players playing in their natural positions. Exactly like Saints did last season..

I've always found Macron pretty good in terms of quality of product and communication/resolving issues. Local branch too which is good. They seem to be snapping up a lot of clubs recently.

The only offset being those who have kept their ticket but moved seat. That may show as a double count in those "booked" seats. Good number though...really positive stuff!

agreed, and I think you have a long number of years to pay in back...10/20 or something. Stick it in the bank and get some interest off it.

That seems strangely low when you consider the amount of “same household” groups who might go and sit together.

I do agree that we need a bit of cover but we can't have fixed replacements for all positions...there no way we can carry a squad of (say) 25 first teamers so you need to get that flexibility in the squad. At the moment, probably only left back is the only position we'd be truly stuck. Rooney and Booth would be centre back cover...MOH would probably be RWB cover etc etc.

Never really thought of that. On that seat map thing, do both your seats show up as “booked”?

good point.....I would hope that the vast majority of renewals would be on-board again.

I see that Saints have extended the renewal period again. If they're doing that, it may be that there's more than we think.

I think he's retiring. If that's true, he's had a great career and capped it off with a few medals in his last season. Well done Craig, and thankyou.

I'm really 50/50 with these 2. Both fit the system we play and I'd be happy to see them both back next year but part of me thinks we need to keep it fresh and get 2/3 in and out every summer just to get new faces in.

well done lads.

On that point, I think we usually hold out for the maximum amount we can. I can't think of a player or manager that we've undersold in the past 10 years (maybe more). Am I missing someone obvious?

I knew Kilmarnock's run was bad but they’ve only picked up 1 point since this thread started in January. Crikey.

It was the original Scottish cup date I think.

I watched through hesgoal on Wednesday. Never froze and no ads.
