UEFA rate the SPL below the Austrian Bundesliga and I have seen a hell of a lot of Austrian Football. The price tag and age of McGregor is not where we should be shopping. I'm not saying that the SPFL isn't shit, it is but I can make that statement based on the fact that I watch it regularly. My point was that far too many folk jump on the bandwagon of an opinion despite the fact that they know absolutely fuch all about it. And yes, £40m for Mcgrehor is laughable. He's worth half that at best. Edited 31 August 2020 by Foxy_Bear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the original poster was just just making the point that playing against the likes of Hamilton and Dundee every week is perhaps, a yardstick that makes the assessment of whether or not a player can step up to the EPL is questionable. And please do not throw VWD in my face as is the usual response on here (not from you). He is clearly the exception to the norm. I would hope our coaching Team have a better idea on this players ability.

( not, you just in general). The strong opinion on scottish football isn't exclusive to FT, all English footie fans seem to base their opinion on it based on very little. As for players making the transition down south, CM's and defenders seem to adjust better than attacking minded players for some reason. VVD, Van Bronchurst, Petrov, Wanyama, Arteta, Ferguson, Adam, McGregor, Weir, Tugay, Reyna, Hendry, Hutton, Robertson all off the top of my head. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dames Posted 31 August 2020 Share Posted 31 August 2020 If Rodgers insists that we pay anywhere near 40m for McGregor it can come out of his severance. Worth 15-20m in todays market at the absolute most. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hope our coaching Team have a better idea on this players ability. As for your comment about FT members making comments about things they know absolutely fuch all about, I think we are all sometimes guilty of that crime There are more apart from Van Dijk in recent years, in fact I'd wager all of them bar hooper would have done a more than decent job for Leicester had they signed at the time each prospective player moved.Tierney is the latest example, he'd have been a great replacement for Chilwell and signed a year in advance you'd be sitting pretty just now with £25m banked and arguably a better player than Chilwell as his replacement. He'd had definitely followed Rodgers as well. Then there are others who have moved from clubs other than Celtic, McGinn and Roberston for example that'd definitely enhance the Leicester squad. Then there's Dembele who went to France who would have been a snip at £20m for you guys and is now way off the radar and completely unattainable. The SPFL is a poor league overall, anyone who says it isn't is lying but that doesn't mean there aren't any diamonds in the rough. Like I've said before, you can turn your nose up at it and go and shop in Portugal again and have your pants removed to the tune of £50m. That same £50m would have got you VVD, Tierney and John McGinn so go figure. 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you guys are going to play 3-5-2 I'd imagine in next to Ndidi but then you have the issue of where does Tielemans play. McGregor is the sort of player who would probably end up playing 25-35 games a season filling in across various positions mind you such is his versatility. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well £19m wasn't enough last summer and he's since signed a new contract since then so I'd be very surprised to see him go anywhere for less than £20m, especially given Nthacn and Ajer seem to be heading to the exit door to plug the CL revenue gap.

Tielemans is an enigma and I still have my doubts, but rotating him and McGregor seems like a logical fix but in practice it won't happen. He offers something that the other central midfielders do not, leadership,and we are well short of that at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
