He’s in some good company in that squad. McTomminay and Ferguson doing well in Italy. McGinn and Christie key players for two good sides in this years EPL

Sadly he’ll probably play second fiddle to Patterson (playing that poor that he’s been told to get his act together by Moye’s)and Ralston (most Celtic fans even think he’s a liability) as Clarke’s an idiot.

Patterson isn’t in the squad, but I agree that Ralston will probably be picked ahead of of Max because Steve Clarke…

No doubt. I'm under no illusion that Miller or Johnston will get any game time, but from a selfish perspective just being in the squad should add a few more quid to Miller's value.

Probably should have checked the squad before my rant but the sentiment remains

Edit: should also check I’m quoting the right post as well, was meant to be a reply to Wellfans reply to me.

I would be hoping our new manager will handle our best young talent in years well. With a lot of European contacts and experiance of advising young talent he could provide good advice and a market further afield. Also taking the captaincy off such a young player was a good move so he could concentrate on his game with no distractions.

Mark Reynolds for £100,000 is the one that stands out for me.

So one out of how many? and we probably got market value for reynolds, he didn't exactly excel

 Ben Hall and Henri Anier made up for that shortfall.

Delighted for Lennon Miller 👏 👏 👏 

As a Scotland fan I have always thought instead of taking a chance with young talent we almost seem to hold them back . If you are good enough you are old enough

Think only criticism was we turned down £750k from rangers the previous season.   But yes overall we have a good record.  Ben Heneghan another great of business

We dodged a bullet as no doubt Rangers would have insisted on jnstallsments and then stiffed us when they were liquidated.

Just a question to everyone is it time to end the Nick Daws era at the club change things on that front?

He was really only brought in as he had worked for Alexander before so surely as that's Hammell and Kettlewell gone it's time for a change in that dept aswell.

 

[weeyin]

If he can find us another Mika Biereth, I'm OK with that.

I doubt it's too difficult for a scout to identify individuals that suit different managers' preferences, so while I'm not against a change, I'm not sure it would make a whole lot of difference. Especially with the data driven approach clubs like to take these days.
