Odd player for us to target.

Is Hickey carrying a knock or something? I don’t even think Greg Taylor’s own parents would pick him ahead of Hickey otherwise.

Defence looks all over the place. That’s us played four games in about two weeks and he’s changed the central defensive trio every time and used three different players at right back. It’s like he does not really trust any of them enough to actually stick with them.

So Ramirez is back then, at least for now

I take your point BigAl, I just don't think foreigners generally work for us at all and we need a core of British/Irish players. The last few signings from abroad have been a mysterious right back costing a fortune, a yank who has hardly kicked a ball yet, Ramirez who looked great for six months then disappeared and the dutch winger who the jury is still out on. Even the few foreigners that have been successful over the years never seem to stick around for much longer than a season. So many of these guys either cannot adapt to our style of play in this country or climate, language or whatever. My last post was pretty ranty. I just think after so many years of absolute crap we finally got our club back for six or seven years there and now we are heading back to the days of appointing dodgy managers and signing dud players. I'd far prefer we took a punt on a promising player from a Championship club than gambled on some dude from Albania. Hope that does not come across as racist as that is not the intension.

Don't disagree with a word you typed there Rico, indeed if you check back to page one of this post, I suggested that we should be looking to bring in four or five established SPFL players over the summer but let's not restrict the markets we operate in like the club have been guilty of in the past. There simply aren't options in the striking department currently in the SPFL that look remotely like the answer to our prayers. I guess my comparison was in response to the comment regarding selling the crown jewels and replacing them with unknown Albanians & Macedonians. As you clearly articulated to, there is the necessity for balance. Lets just hope we can strike it

I know that highlight reels can sometimes be deceptive but this boy seems to know the way to goal. Seems to be a few clubs sniffing around him. Interesting to know who those clubs are. If the price was right, then what have we got to lose. Would you rather have a gamble on this guy @ a couple of hundred grand or a JET/Curtis Main type signing on a free ?

Bojan Miovski anyone ? 22 year old North Macedonia striker and full international. Currently at same club as Ramadani was and appears to have the same agent. Two and two sometimes equal four

Assorted media seem to think Liverpool have offered £4m up front (up to £6m with add-ons), but we are wanting £5m front (up to £8.5m with add-ons). Nice to see we aren't just rolling over for once, although that extra million is probably what Liverpool spend on paper clips.
