Yeah but he was signed for the u20's so if he was counting him you would need to count the other u20's signings such as Dylan King and George Newall, which would make it 11.

Why does Robbo continually say 9 signings when I count 8?

Carl McHugh for me.

The official team sheet has a Christopher Madden listed on our bench. Anyone any idea who he is?

To the best of my knowledge Rose has experience of playing Right Back and remember, it is a friendly. We all know Tait is the No.1 RB who will start there when the games get competitive.

As BWF says, I'd expext 442 Rose Heneghan Dembele Dunne Cadden Bigi McHugh Frear Tanner Fish

Good strike from Tuton for the 1st, but didn't do much else. Dembele looked far better than McManus.

Usual from Thomas, a lot of twinkling with no end product.

Probably not the right place to put this, but some goal by the new lad Fisher in training.

Donaldo beat me to it. Mods can you delete?

Cedric Kipre also at training on the pictures from SNS.

George Elokobi would be another guess.

Danny Shittu? He's 36 so about our age.

When you said 'neither' to stature or reputation, I took stature to means height, therefore when you said XXL, I took it mean he was small but chunky. That is obviously not the case, but trust it explains how I suggested Commons. Nevertheless, I obviously got the wrong end of the stick. Oh what it is to be informed eh.

Only a guess......and to me a fairly logical one (to me anyway) given he is available and a bit on the chunky side these days i.e. XXL.

Kris Commons? He's certainly small and fat. He is also 33-34, but get him fit and would on paper be a good option for an Attacking Midfielder.

What we will end up with is a Centre Half that can also double up at right back or vice versa i.e. someone like Paul Quinn. Not that I would want to see Paul back, but it is an example of what I'd expect the Gaffer to do.

I expect Watt and possibly McMillian to go out on loan rather than fester on the sidelines. In an ideal world you need 2 for every position. We won't quite be able to do that, but that should be the aim. Competition is good. Last season we really suffered as the competition wasn't good enough to replace the injured 1st team regulars. You can't deny that.

I have a feeling that neither Watt or McMillan are in the managers plans, especially Watt, as he hasn't been near 1st team football for a couple of years. McMillian didn't look very comfortable in the team last year and quickly dropped out the team despite Tait's injury. Also can't see Cadden playing there unless absolutely necessary. I therefore think another RB is a priority as you need someone to challenge Tait.

And you think we won't sign any.........c'mon, gees peace.

It is also worth remembering that we will be signing 2 first team goalies this summer.

Also recently started following Gael Bigirimana too.

Skippy clearly not too happy with the hierarchy: McDonald: Why I want A-League move Ben Somerford May 26 2017 1:15AM The 33-year-old striker, who failed to net in 26 caps for the Socceroos, opted against triggering a contract extension with Scottish Premier League club Motherwell earlier this week. McDonald is currently holidaying in Spain with his English wife and three children and will weigh up his options over the next few weeks, but hasnt ruled out remaining in the United Kingdom or even trying his luck in Asia. However, the Melbourne-born striker appears most keen on the A-League, saying an Australian switch will get the juices flowing. Ive been away for so long, a lot of people havent seen the best in me, McDonald told FourFourTwo. Everyone will always go over my international career. Its always great to represent your country, albeit not going as well as I wouldve liked, but Ive developed a hell of a lot. In terms of coming home, thatd certainly be something thatd get the juices flowing. Showing people exactly what I can do. I dont need to necessarily prove myself, but Id like to show people what Im about. McDonald (right) alongside Lucas Neill, Mark Schwarzer & Tim Cahill McDonald, who hasn't played for Australia since 2012, insisted he still has plenty to offer at club level, having netted 25 goals in the past two seasons for Motherwell. He said after two-and-a-half years with Motherwell, in his second spell with the Steelmen, he wanted a fresh challenge and the opportunity to achieve things. When you get older you dont want to become stale and settle, McDonald said. Im still wanting to achieve things personally and possibly pursuing going to the A-League would give me that as well. Ive plenty to offer. Ive got plenty of years to go. Im 33 now but I think as you get older you develop and you understand your body. You look after it. I definitely think if youre coming back home, the amount of games that are played, the way the staff look after you over there, the full-time professionalism, theres plenty of years left in my legs. McDonald at Motherwell last season McDonald came close to returning to the A-League in January with both Western Sydney Wanderers and Newcastle Jets making a play for him. The former Celtic man held advanced talks with Wanderers coach Tony Popovic and the deal was all but agreed, until Motherwell scuppered it by demanding a transfer fee. McDonald admitted the Scottish clubs position had left a sour taste in his mouth for the past four months, leading to his exit. Theres been opportunities to come and Motherwell disappointingly turned down the last one, he said. It was a bit of a sore one, everything was set and agreed and Motherwell pretty much put the blockers on it. Ive got to be honest, probably for the last four or five months of the season it had a little effect on me, in terms of where I was at. It made my decision clearer on what I wanted to do. Whether its in Australia or not, my time at Motherwell is up now and Im keen to try something different. McDonald hasnt played domestically in Australia since his time with Gippsland Falcons before leaving for Southampton as a 16-year-old. Hes visited and holidayed in Australia on numerous occasions but admitted settling down with his family in his homeland was attractive. Ive lived all my adult life in the UK, he said. I left as a 16-year-old. Ive got a young family myself now, so I would like to give back to them in terms of that lifestyle. But its just going to have to be whats right for me on a footballing level and also for the family as well. McDonald memorably scored for Celtic against AC Milan in the 2007-08 UEFA Champions League
