European games start to early for smaller teams where they have yet to start their league games. Alot of these teams are rebuilding as their players are cherry picked on the back of a good season. Seldom will these teams enter with a settled team.

Just away to Swansea for record fee according to the record. Thats our creative spine gone, ie Watt Slattery and Just. AJ is on a hiding to nothing. I feel sorry for him, as he will get the flack. Whilst expected the clubs approach to this pre season has been niave and shocking. Nowhere near enough incomming players. Perhaps we have written europe off as there is no way our squad is big enough to deal with europe and league. Money in bank is great, but we are back to stage 1 again, in having to rebuild and have at present a very weakened team that, looks at this point, will struggle at the bottom end of the league.

Shocker, but hardly suprising as our club seems to be an easy target in the eyes of the SFA. How can our club be fined for stating the world reaction and that we should move on? The players union or whatever they are called need to get involved in this nonsense and defend their player. Football in this country is finished if spoken truths are more severly punished than reckless and dangerous tackles. All clubs officials and players should refuse all interactions with media. Will John McGinn get fined for his comnents?

Seldom easy to replace any player when they leave. Look at our attempts to sign a goalkeeper prior to Ward. Rather we had our strongest team on the pitch to watch, especially against our next very important game. Some incomming signings would be nice.

You would think. Has anyone from our game had a success of going to Turkey? Either in a playing capacity or actually getting their wages. Whether he goes or stays their is no denying we need players with experience in defence and midfield.

Good insight that video. Alot of youngsters on show. No sign of our more established players, ie Fadinger, Longelo, AP, Eythor, Said etc. Maybe Max was training them.

What you say is very true, but valuations are increasing at a stupid rate, stupidly quickly across europe. Scottish football should not be excluded from these rises just because what happened in the past. Our guys are under contract and extremely important part of the team cog.

Take it Wed have sorted their financial problems.

Needs to look his best for the introduction video!

Apparently a bid of £1.7m was made to Utd for Will Ferry!! Fadinger is worth way more to us than £500k. Laughable fee. Academy players go for more. I trust our club to deal with any offers accordingly and that scottish football clubs started to get the fees that are the normal across europe.

Would be nice for a signing. Times moving on.

Full investigation of the SFA otherwise known as Celtic Football Association by a third party is required. Will the Celtic players who were pictured mocking our Sam with hands on their head be cited. Will ONeil be cited for having private conversations with Collum and complaining about referee decisions. Its time our club, Hearts and others called out the influence that Celtic have on our game. Its beyond a joke. We need to fight our right for freedom of speach and consistancey of these punishments. There has been many instances throughtout season of players, management questioning decisions. Nothing was done then, so why now? Time our lawyers got involved. The club that has caused the biggest problems getting off practically scot free whilst other clubs are hammered. Time clubs grew a backbone! Watt will get a hefty suspension for this to deflect and made an example of. Its what the CFA do...

He just missed out! He is down at number 666

When was the last time we had a fully fit squad? McGinn out for months at his age cant be good. Could be the end of his career. Hendry injured again for months. Robinson mk2. Total waste of money. Guess we are stuck with him. So we now need a new center of defence. Guys with pace, can pass a ball and do the defensive side of game would be nice. Need them into pronto with europe game in comming soon. New recruits urgently needed.

It was always going to get the reaction of, who? Need to trust the boards methods in reaching their decision. So, Welcome Alfie! Best of luck and all that...
