Was talking to a guy at work who has connections at Aberdeen and he is under the impression that we have an interest in the lad Duk that plays up front for them. Not a rumour I've heard from anywhere else and none of my regular contacts have this info but the lad did tell me about wtight a few weeks before it went public. Duk for me is OK but would be a back up at best. Anyone heard anything about this.
1.) 17 Apr 2024 07:26:02
Could do a lot worse Bellshill decent player knows our league.
2.) 17 Apr 2024 08:40:21
He isn’t even a guaranteed starter for Aberdeen that would 100% be a step down and our options just now aren’t good enough. Let’s hope this rumour isn’t true.
3.) 17 Apr 2024 09:03:08
Agree. I like the lad.
4.) 17 Apr 2024 09:13:00
not sure he's an improvement but seems to have a bit of fight about him which would be nice to see in the side again.
5.) 17 Apr 2024 09:14:55
Remember reading a few folks on here talking about him last season, seems to have regressed this term, unsure as don't see much of him.
6.) 17 Apr 2024 11:07:33
The sheep dnt play them near bottom last season was their main man and finished 3rd.
7.) 17 Apr 2024 11:20:56
Would be ideal, can’t get a game with Aberdeen, let’s move backwards.
8.) 17 Apr 2024 12:43:21
Well we signed wright.
9.) 17 Apr 2024 13:14:29
Big NO for me on Duk, no doubt we will spend money on some donkey tho, far too many mistakes in transfers which has cost us big time on and off the pitch on top of that our injury record have had us p*****g against the wind for years.
10.) 17 apr 2024 14:36:26
not even close to good enough imo.
11.) 17 Apr 2024 15:39:47
Deadpan Storm???.
12.) 17 Apr 2024 15:44:23
Correct tt and allegedly Aberdeen want in excess off 3.5 million.
13.) 17 Apr 2024 18:20:27
Far too much John was going to say would be an upgrade on wright but would only pay 1 to 1.5million tops think at 3plus million we can do better.
14.) 17 Apr 2024 23:05:35
Would be par for the course for this Board, sign a player that doesn't get a game for Aberdeen. You don't need to be that good to be an upgrade on Wright! No way should we be signing players of this quality.
While we need to be bringing in players that are home bred they need to be significantly better than what we have. We have been spending money on 3rd rate players since we won 55 and as a result we are going backwards.
19 Mar 2024 20:09:56
Heard today from a lad at work that we are currently looking at 3 players playing domestically. He says he is waiting to get names confirmed so will update if he gets names. He doesn't think it will be purchases for all 3.
1.) 19 Mar 2024 22:29:22
Chat from Killie side is that we are interested in Watson.
2.) 20 Mar 2024 05:28:05
Good info bellshilllad83 ?Never heard from CoplandFront5 for a while now who also has cracking info ?Hope you're doing well mate ?.
3.) 20 Mar 2024 06:22:11
No starting a Shankland chat again but he should be a no brainer as we will need 2 strikers. Plus the need for home grown.
4.) 20 Mar 2024 07:30:27
Aye right Dado? going to be about 3 pages of it noo ?, but aye your correct bud, think one would be enough though, to replace roofe, who most think will go. ?.
5.) 20 Mar 2024 07:55:11
Could be a few from Shankland, Barron, Armstrong, Watson, Miller and the like.
6.) 20 Mar 2024 08:13:09
One scottish player we should take a look at but he never gets mentioned is that lad at hearts, a striker i think.
7.) 20 Mar 2024 09:43:38
Fork ? probably. Roofe will need replaced and can't see dessers lasting beyond the summer. Be gutted if we don't keep Sima as well.
8.) 20 Mar 2024 11:06:15
Rangers r extensively scouting Scottish academy trained.
As I said b4 a goalie, miller, I doubt we can afford him
Cameron, Mackenzie, Barron, Watson.
9.) 20 Mar 2024 11:17:25
I would imagine Miovski, Shankland and Conner Barron are on shortlist. A lot depends on if we win league and get Champions league money as Sima and/ or Silva would probably be signed permanently if deal could be done if we do qualify.
Still fully expect Shankland brought in once Roofes out of contract and Shanks enters final 12 months of Hearts contract at same time.
10.) 20 Mar 2024 12:08:58
Good to hear that John227, would be nice to get the best from local academy trained prospects, help with Euro squads too??.
11.) 20 Mar 2024 12:45:55
John when you say we can't afford Miller do you mean we won't be willing to pay 2m for him? can't see it being anything over that. If we are serious about signing the best young local talent then do it. After all we waste millions on foreign duds every year.
12.) 20 Mar 2024 13:17:32
I can’t see rangers paying two million for a reserve player.
13.) 20 Mar 2024 17:50:26
John 2m for Miller would be a very good investment i think.
14.) 20 Mar 2024 17:50:50
Would really like Watson.
15.) 20 Mar 2024 18:27:17
Who is Cameron and Mackenzie? Excuse my ignorance. I’m assuming young emerging talent?
16.) 20 Mar 2024 21:22:01
Clans at culloden ah think ?.
17.) 21 Mar 2024 01:22:03
Think Watson from Killie is the one lads, shoe in for YPOTY for me.
18.) 21 Mar 2024 11:27:55
Ac reading he scored for Scotland u19 against Italy yesterday.
19.) 21 Mar 2024 18:45:42
Seen that MyStar, he looks a real talent.
20.) 22 Mar 2024 15:18:41
Miller is the better of the 2 at the minute and 1st team ready.
02 Feb 2024 15:16:42
I'm hearing we are in communications with representatives of 4 players currently. I believe 2 have been mentioned and will be fees involved 1 being the Brazilian left back the other is the striker from Belgian league. 2 others will be freedom of contracts.
1.) 02 Feb 2024 16:24:42
Batshuyi/ Jefte? 2 foc interesting.
2.) 02 Feb 2024 16:56:51
Kevin denkey of Brugge.
Valued at €8m euros atm on transfer market.
Apparently we had a bid knocked back matching that valuation, I think was John who said that.
Think someone also said we bid €6m for him aswell.
If he’s the one we’re after and we get him then I have very high hopes for next season not just domestically but in Europe aswell.
When u take Silvas pedigree, I do think he’s over rated, diomande potential and the clubs who wanted him, throw in vortex full Colombian international and if we got denkey it shows the calibre of player we are after now.
Pity it’s towards the end of tav and bb time here as they’d have got some assists with denkey on the end of their crosses.
3.) 02 Feb 2024 17:13:44
I'd imagine kevin denkey and jefte
forktongue ?.
4.) 02 Feb 2024 17:27:06
Fork he plays in Turkey mate.
5.) 02 Feb 2024 17:40:56
One foc could be Conor Barron from Aberdeen?
6.) 02 Feb 2024 17:41:03
Denkey, forktongues.
7.) 02 Feb 2024 17:43:32
Jefte and Denkey.
8.) 02 Feb 2024 17:56:39
Batshuyi is in Turkey it would have been denkey fork.
9.) 02 Feb 2024 18:47:05
Absolute brain fart, heids frazzled from all the names yesterday☺️☺️ away to soak my nut.
10.) 02 Feb 2024 22:20:39
Denkey.
11.) 03 Feb 2024 10:56:58
Think its safe to say nobody has any clue at this point. All 3 names came from nowhere the day or 2 before.
04 Jan 2024 18:14:23
Just saw our assistant posted a photo on twitter today of a departure board. Anyone any info about it? Is it just a tease or is he going to look at or speak to someone of interest.
1.) 04 Jan 2024 18:17:56
Maybe they are heading to Spain today.
2.) 04 Jan 2024 18:23:29
Just a player from the youth department.
18 Dec 2023 17:36:56
Was talking to a lad at work with good connections within the hearts set up. He seems to think that should we try to sign Shankland that hearts would be looking for Lowry plus a decent fee, his opinion is at least 2m, would be what they would be demanding.
For me that's a great deal for hearts and only hearts. Think that if Lowry comes back end of the season after a strong campaign this year he will be pushing for a starting 11 spot next year. I personally think that we could get younger and better for less money if we look abroad. I have no doubt that Shankland is a good player and would do well for us but for me we need a higher quality of player to push on in Europe.
1.) 18 Dec 2023 18:36:48
Shankland is a signing that comes essentially with 0 risk we all know he’ll get us goals. Lowry hasn’t done much at Hearts and I can’t see him being a starter for us next season.
2.) 18 dec 2023 18:41:09
the thing with shankland mate is he's very very good in the air, and has a brain, but lacks pace, so pc will already know if that's who he wants, or not, so i expect rangers to sign someone else, or they will get shankland, , i don't think on this occasion there will be endless backing and fro, ing, they have lowry there and may accept him along with around 1.5m because there's a real possibility that lowry will be worth a lot more in 3 yrs than shankland is now, at this moment, its not beyond the realms that hearts will try to include lowry, i would definetly, , i believe he was headed down the paterson route but he stalled for whatever reason.
3.) 18 Dec 2023 19:25:56
I think a fair fee is £2-3m and Lowry on loan for the year.
Defo not sell Lowry not a chance. Say £2m do wan with!1m in add ons.
U think that’s fair.
4.) 18 Dec 2023 19:48:55
I’d happily sanction that deal with a buy back option for an agreed fee for Lowry. Shankland is the 1 player we need in January, he could be the difference in winning league or not.
5.) 18 Dec 2023 19:55:22
I’m not sure Lowry will make it, if we had a reasonable buy back (say £1m) or a sell on (50%) then it might not be a bad deal to be honest.
6.) 18 Dec 2023 23:34:18
I've seen some say about lack of sell on, but if the experience bangs in the goals that wins the league it pays for itself over and over with glory and champions league money ?.
7.) 19 Dec 2023 03:23:30
Funny how we have people saying Lowry to hearts with shankland and others saying hearts don't want him due to attitude. And others saying they want wright, think there are some mischievous posts happening.
People posting feelings as opposed to real rumours maybe.
8.) 19 Dec 2023 04:03:14
One of Scotland's hottest prospects Lowry plus cash for shankland is a terrible deal for us if we were trying to buy Lowry from hearts think about it they would want 2/ 3million easy.
9.) 19 Dec 2023 08:38:12
RFC hottest prospects? On what basis? Even when fit he was struggling to get in hearts team.
10.) 19 Dec 2023 11:00:47
Lowry isn’t developing. Not right now that’s for sure. More likely he’ll balls it up. His attitude is awful. Witnessed myself, if I played with him he would be bollocked big time. I know he’s had it pretty bad on a personal level but thousands have. He’s spoiled and the loan was meant for him to see how good he has it. It’s unlikely he’ll ever understand this as he’s very immature.
11.) 19 Dec 2023 12:19:11
Problem with Lowry is he thinks he's Billy Big Baws and his attitude is poor. According to my jambo mate, Lowry's attitude has also been bad at Hearts and he thinks he's the star man, irritating a lot of his team mates. He's a good wee player, but he won't make it far in the game, unless he puts the work in and learns a bit of humility.
12.) 19 Dec 2023 14:10:37
I stand by statement last year, Lowry will not make it at rangers or top end of game.
13.) 19 dec 2023 16:08:29
im tending to think the same now, John.

21 Jan 2024 16:04:08
I was speaking to a guy at work and he was telling me that Clement and our new head of recruitment have identified 5 main targets they want to add at the end of the season. His info is a CB striker possibly 2 wide player and LB. Other incoming would depend on players going out.
1.) 21 Jan 2024 16:17:32
Bellshill, I heard on Friday that we had been trying to shift Davies, (one club mentioned was his old Preston NE side, but there is a significant financial variance in what we want versus what is being offered) . Also heard two top quality Bosmans of interest with discussions ongoing with them / their representatives. One is a centre back that we would try to bring in now if Davies can be moved on - but I suspect that this will not happen.
2.) 21 Jan 2024 16:17:34
Hopefully we can find a buyer for Soutter, Davies, Cifuentes, Cantwell, Dowell, Matondo and let a freedom of contracts leave apart from Balogun and Lundstram. There's far too much average on wages they don't deserve.
3.) 21 Jan 2024 16:42:08
Nice positive post Herbert ? 3 max will leave from that list.
4.) 21 Jan 2024 17:19:55
Herbert I doubt it. We pay wages few can match, so it is almost impossible to get rid of our transfer mistakes.
5.) 21 Jan 2024 17:38:13
Herbert agree most of them should move on but Souttar is more than adequate for back up centre back.
6.) 21 Jan 2024 17:45:42
As much as a like balogun a would let him go as well.
7.) 21 Jan 2024 17:56:04
Herbert1 - you would expect a couple of players to move on possibly.
06 Jan 2024 18:25:31
Just been talking to a friend and he thinks we will move for the lad from Vitesse and offer both Matondo and Lammers on loan until the end of the season with option to buy in summer plus 1m. Guy never talks about football but has family in Holland. Anyone heard anything as I think it could be a bit far fetched to be true.
1.) 06 Jan 2024 19:46:50
I read not long ago gers looking at somebody from them, can't mind his name or position tho.
2.) 06 jan 2024 19:55:41
cant do that, spyder sold lammers to sunderland and ran away with the cash.
3.) 06 Jan 2024 20:22:23
Spyder spinning a Web of deceit.

My spydy sense was tingling when i thought lammers was away too. ?.

Just saw young Colombian striker Alegria has had his loan at falkirk cut short. 6 goals in 16 games isn't the worst stats. I've heard that Beale is caught between keeping him so he can learn from our first team strikers and sending him to a better standard of league to develop.
1.) 12 Jan 2023 12:34:37
Exactly mate loans shouldn’t rule youngsters out players like Kane had terrible loans before he made it at spurs not that I am saying this kid will be as good as Kane before anyone has a go.
2.) 12 Jan 2023 12:50:24
According to falkirk fans his mum has died and he is back in colombia.
3.) 12 Jan 2023 13:23:37
That is sad news for the kid if correct, allegedly she has been I’ll for a while. Rangers and Alf paid flights for him to go home during international breaks.
4.) 12 Jan 2023 13:32:37
Could be true Paul, I play in the Falkirk pool league now games played on Tuesday's and many Falkirk fans play as well but not a mention of this on Tuesday night.
5.) 12 Jan 2023 14:27:13
People just talk about buff's moods and scowling all the time on park but off the park he has a heart of gold ?Alfie takes presents at Christmas time back over to the poor orphans and underprivileged children in his home place of cerete in colombia and pays for this himself ? So it doesn't surprise me alfie has helped pay for alegria's flights back home to colombia, to attend to his ill mum ??.
6.) 12 Jan 2023 14:47:01
Sws it only the faces he pulls that have people thinking like that not me personally, some cf to replace him tho, seems are very charitable man class what he does.
7.) 12 Jan 2023 17:31:07
He’s an absolute class guy whatever happened this window I Genuinely wish the best for Alf! Football/ Competitive sport brings out a different side to people! I used to love seeing him playing on the edge of blowing a gasket ? he’s dragged us from the a low place in our history to near Euro Glory (if he’s been playing we win that game IMO) some people would be best served remembering this!
8.) 12 Jan 2023 20:36:23
Aye by all accounts he is a decent guy. Hope he does well for whoever he moves to next. Overall he's been awesome and was flying before the injury. Said to my cousin the other day that I felt we would have won the EL had he been playing.
19 Dec 2022 10:56:07
Was talking to a friend earlier about Beales comments on Scottish players and he told me that we are looking at a few just now. The names he told me have been in the media with Stewart, McBurnie, Gilmour but he did say we are looking at young lad Barron CM from Aberdeen, a young CB from Dundee United seemingly showed up well against us earlier this season but I can't remember.
1.) 19 Dec 2022 11:47:27
We've been monitoring Graham at Dundee United for a while - he's not one I've ever been overly impressed with mind you.
We've also been keeping a close eye on Meekison at United, he's one that's highly rated with the Scottish set up.
2.) 19 Dec 2022 11:51:17
Smith (17)it must be from dun utd I was told last season we are interested in him, I would love Stewart signed he would do some damage for our club great player and some finisher, would like Barron from Aberdeen also but the thing with him he won't be a first team starter for about a season great young player tho, would like Gilmour but only on a permanent deal, Mcburnie great replacement if Morelos goes just hope he doesn't, best Scottish player's out there we could afford. if I had a choice of 1 player out of any them it would be Ross Stewart hands down, out of contact get him signed Wilson.
3.) 19 Dec 2022 12:38:33
Kerr smith signed for villa last season Beale.
4.) 19 Dec 2022 12:29:50
Mcburnie doesn’t even qualify as homegrown so you can’t write that one off.
5.) 19 Dec 2022 13:05:04
So he did I forgot about that monty, surely not Graham we must have better than him in the b team, but meekison looks like he could cut it, same as Neilson at hearts he will go far in the game.
6.) 19 Dec 2022 12:29:50
Mcburnie doesn’t even qualify as homegrown so you can’t write that one off.
7.) 19 Dec 2022 13:26:16
Mcburnie Gilmour and probably Stewart not homegrown.
8.) 19 Dec 2022 14:42:09
i thought gilmour and stewart were born in irvine so how are they not homegrown.
9.) 19 Dec 2022 15:55:05
True blue it’s nothing to do with where a player is born, they need to play for a Scottish academy for three years.
10.) 19 Dec 2022 16:01:12
Trueblue nothing to do with where they were born I think it’s to do with how long they been trained here when youngsters tho John will know for sure.
11.) 19 Dec 2022 16:30:27
John does Stewart's time spent at a rovers and St mirren not count? was also at Ross County 3 years.
12.) 19 Dec 2022 17:17:57
I thought it did Beale mate but because Stewart is 26, he needs to have done 3 years at a Scottish club before being 21 and he played at kilwinning part of that so don't think that would count towards the 3 years.
13.) 19 Dec 2022 17:27:47
Cheers snell ?.
14.) 19 Dec 2022 17:57:54
Beale the question is was it all done before he was 21.
15.) 19 Dec 2022 18:35:50
Yes John don't think he could have.
17 Jul 2021 23:17:12
Just read that the young CM from Bournemouth won't be available any time soon as there has been an issue flagged up during his ECG. Will be sent to see specialist for a more in depth look. Hopefully it is nothing serious and he gets in about it soon. Was looking excellent in training before the issue was discovered.
1.) 18 Jul 2021 09:39:31
I went to the docs when I was younger and he sent me for a ecg because I had irregular heartbeat and turned out to be nothing so hopefully it’s the same with this kid.
2.) 18 Jul 2021 09:51:46
So said our manager after the arsenal game word for word.
3.) 18 Jul 2021 10:14:02
Lots of people have irregular heart beats or kick in extra ones now and again and can function normally. Let's hope the lad gets the all clear very soon.

Biggar I think adams could be a great replacement for Roofe. Similar type player with decent eye for goal.
13 Apr 2024 18:37:24
Saw that rumour but was out of Belgium.
08 Feb 2024 12:14:21
Hopefully he can find a better balance. Feel bad for the guy as things just didn't seem to go his way. Injuries, poor form and personal problems must have Bern hard for thr guy. Think he showed glimpses of bring a very good player. Hopefully has a good season in South America and either comes back stronger or gets us a decent fee.
01 Feb 2024 07:39:46
Think the LB makes great sense as I've been told both Barisic and Yilmaz will be away possibly this window definitely summer window. This would allow a new LB to settle in before season starts.
31 Jan 2024 17:45:12
I'm hearing cortes will be announced tomorrow lunch and possibly 2 more if all goes to plan before end of window. Both probably annonced on the 2nd as paperwork will be tight to complete on time.

15 Mar 2020 15:04:17
Exact type of player we are missing.
02 Nov 2019 21:24:48
The main cause in my opinion is poor recruitment something like 30 million spent in past few years with most getting their contracts terminated by mutual consent. That has to stop. Paying millions in fees then same in paying them off. Secondly it will be the excessive legal fees caused by the sports direct twat taking us to court every time his dinner is cold.
I think with wilson in our recruitment will improve buying low improving and selling for profit with sell on clauses in the likes of morelos, kamara, aribo etc. Pretty much copy what Celtic have done with there players for years now.
07 Jul 2019 18:56:04
Youngster that's came through the ranks. Very good prospect according to my mate who is an ex player.
17 Jun 2019 15:01:04
Makes a change from that eejit Sutton.
12 May 2019 16:55:55
I think it was just needing time to gel. Keep the majority of that team and the league will be ours. Think new first choice keeper, left back and if morales is sold a good quality striker. Go out and spend a bit on each position get some quality and team will be outstanding.
