No one with such a pessemistic outlook could possibly be a real supporter. Plastic wannabee ITK folk like you who're crying out for attention on a forum... look at me, look at me, I need adulation. Absolutely pathetic. I'll carry on ploughing my hard earned into the club and back them vocally both on and off the pitch. Tell you one thing, success is never gauranteed in life, nor in sport. But I'll back the club where I can to give it their best shot. Feckin Sky Sport Transfer wannabee saddo's like you should stay as far away from my club as possible. Want to rack up our monthly outlay to AFC, see who's more use? 1 Link to comment

NorfolkDandy Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I'm inclined to understand the 'lazy recruitment' jibes in terms of Scales Personally, and for the 'rumoured' amount of money to get him, we could and should be looking for better That said, this isn't unique to chasing LS - We require upgrades in several positions from last season if we are to compete The likes of JM & SM as examples will not cut it, even as squad fillers / off the bench Big few weeks ahead given all the 'good news' trumpeting lately Link to comment
GeorgeStreetReds Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I still find it hard to believe we sanctioned three year deals for Connor McLennan and Jack McKenzie. Worrying really when it’s so blatantly obvious they aren’t good enough. Link to comment
jamiesd Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 It’s a forum ladies and gents. Can’t always agree. Some folk carry on as though Scales is Maldini, others think he’s fuckin pish and not worth the cash. He will look even worse without Pollock. Leave him to peel the half time tatties at Porkheid.

I wouldn’t pay money for Scales ideally… there’s some short memories as he was absolutely awful first half of the season. One of the major culprits… Having said that, he was much better with some calm heads around him… However, we’re now 10 days from the start of the season, with a busy period of 2 games per week, for the next couple of months, and we’re staring down the barrel of Devlin, Milne and MacKenzie as a back three. No doubt we’ve been really unlucky with so many players turning us down this summer, but are we in panic signing territory yet? Are we in legitimate pant pishing territory yet? Given the timescales any last min recruits will have to bed in, and work with the squad/management, before start of the season… is Scales a good option now? Knows the club and squad, etc, etc. A better option than a punt loan deal from the English Lower Leagues? Link to comment

fine-n-dandy Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Should tell Celtic that the most we’re will to pay for him is the fee they paid for him (we can agree 50% sell on if that helps) but any more & we’d rather spend the cash elsewhere & they can fk off with any suggestions of a loan (unless with same fee at most) guaranteed buy in jan Link to comment
BrisDon Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Should tell Celtic we’ll pay them a sack of potatoes and a future fee of any pot of gold found at the end of a rainbow, tattie munchin, kiddie fiddling cunts. 1 Link to comment

While I enjoy the sentiment in this reasonable and well thought out post, every day that passes by pushes us further into the clutches of a seller's market. The Tims have no need to offload Scales....he's a tiny bit part of their squad and the whole purpose of keeping him for the moment is to wait for some English lower Championship or 1st division side to come along and offer the over half a million that they're apparently looking for. We, on the other hand, and becoming increasingly desperate to find a left-sided central defender. And every selling club knows that. We're hardly negotiating from a position of strength here. 1 Link to comment

Dave Bus Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 You have to question why this guy isn’t begging Rodgers to go out on loan or get a transfer. Just wasting his career being 5th choice centre half at Celtic, he’ll have been looking at the game today wishing he was playing. Link to comment

You don't do your dirty washing in public. We don't know what is going on with Scales. He may have indicated that he wishes to move on in private. Celtic hold the aces here not the player and it will do him absolutely no good spitting the dummy and being banished to train with the U18's or similar for the next two seasons. Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Why would Celtic make him available to us prior to playing us, in the full knowledge we’re short of a defence? They know we’ll still be there, like a wee dog this morning. 1 Link to comment
