Portents poor for Ideguchi

358

The portents are not good for Yosuke Ideguchi, injured again and set to be a spectator for the start of the season.

Signings don’t all work, but Ange Postecoglou saw something in him and he did enough to impress Leeds United scouts four years ago. Work permit issues meant he was loaned out on arrival at Leeds, a move which didn’t work out.

The positivity towards our manager and Japanese players is such, I think we are all prepared to give ‘Guchi as much time as her needs to get fit and show his value. Still, football moves on, others are likely to press their case ahead of him.  It is likely to be a long and uneventful season ahead for our January signing.

    I’m pretty sure one of the blogs, may even have been here, suggested a transfer ceiling of £20m??

    No worries mate, but a Saturday doesnt usually suit me.

     

     

    You may want to check with BRRB as I am sure he has said that he will NOT be drinking during August, and that he may even be in Ireland during August ?

    The Emerald Isle is Amazing, Downpatrick is incredible.

     

     

    Ta for the heads up.

    Not sure that I would want to bring my egg chasing mates — not good.

     

    They would be dancing on “your” table plus snorting vodka just for kicks.

     

     

    Plus the karaoke could take an unsavoury turn — Salome never goes down well in polite company as I found out as a sang it at a Bank social which my — soon to be ex — burd had dragged me to.

     

     

    They wanted a song — and it was the only one I knew the second verse.

     

     

    No I will come alone — and say hello to your good self.

     

    Sounds like it will be a swell day,

    Is it not possible that some of last season`s players are now `bigger and stronger` ?

     

     

     

     

    Absolutely. I think freshness is also measured by an influx of new talent that can improve the team. I’m hoping there’s additional funds to help Ange take that up a level. I worry about a defence that still looks uncomfortable playing out from the back, I think Jamesey isn’t the answer at left wing and 2 injuries to Kyogo/GG has us drop down to December 2021 levels.

     

     

    I’m hopeing we can add to the obvious benefits of the team from 2021. POTY will be Reo Hatate.

  5. BiJi @ regular intervals this morning

     

     

    All this bitch chat …

     

    Does that mean I have to bring a dog?

  6. BW @ squad improvement

     

     

    Not sure I am getting the need for a LW — we already have JNPF / DM and MJ at a pinch.

     

     

    RW looks a bit more bare.

     

    Currently only LA looks in the zone.

     

    JF has started slowly and probably needs another month.

    Just had a look in on my tea break … 6th August also a no-go .. just been told this week that my nephews wife having a family doo that night for his 40th, has said for months they weren’t having a “party” so no day trip in the toon for me

     

     

    September Swally could be a goer once the CQN pub conveyor has toured Ireland …

     

     

    And on the are we “bigger faster better” a full Ange preseason should be a major improvement even before a baw is kicked, never mind last mid season signings being a lot more settled

     

     

    Roll on Sunday

    WHAT part of ” YOU are NOT Welcome” dont you understand ?

     

    WHAT Karaoke ?

     

     

    MAD BITCH…THICK CUNT.

  9. Gene,

     

     

    Had a look. 5 subs in 3 breaks has been agreed for 22/23.

     

     

    Good news.

  10. Loan chat

     

     

    Surprised if JK goes out on loan.

     

    We need a credible fourth striker in the squad — DM being the third choice CF.

     

    I would have thought that JK would have been the guy.

     

    6 months with the B Team to get him up and running.

     

    Emergency cover for the first team.

     

     

    Another loan for SR — after 3 successful ones over the past 2 years?

     

    Hopefully this is the CMcG route — slow burner who gets his chance eventually.

    Ignore HOUSEPUPPY. Its a homer.

     

     

    Moderators know about this yet do zero.

     

     

    It will goad and talk shoit.

     

     

    Paul 67 knows this guy.

     

     

    Invented egg chasing friends to come to an invented football match the wee allowed HOUSEPUPPY.

    Come on — play nice.

     

    You don’t really mean that do you?

     

    You are just showing off.

  13. What is the story with CQN today — sound more like Crufts.

     

    Even the small stature Trots are getting in on the act.

     

     

    Not good.

  14. Seems to be a rising swell of opinion that Hatate is going to be some player this season. If he measures up to Callum McGregor,I`ll be happy.

  15. Drug death figures — a drop of / less than 1%.

     

    I wonder how much effort went into manufacturing that little number.

     

     

    Total disgrace — the Nats gave up and eventually reality kicked in.

     

    The past decade shames our nation — silence until the body count was too big to hide.

    ……………………………………………….

     

     

    Oui.

  17. Hot Smoked,

     

     

    Much, much better player than Callum. And I like Callum.

     

     

    The bhoy has it all.

    I take it you are bit like Paddington.

     

    You love marmalade and you were trying to type — “Thick Cut”.

     

    Easy mistake to make.

     

     

    Forgiven.

  19. “ST TAMS on 28TH JULY 2022 11:09 AM

     

    No interest in the huns . Only Celtic”

     

     

    Really? I have seen a few posters say similar. I find it hard to believe.

     

    I would say that the bias in Scotland in their favour ( Old Club and New Club) makes it hard ( impossible in my case) to ignore them.

  20. BIG WAVY on 28TH JULY 2022 11:37 AM

     

     

     

    I`ll be more than happy if you are right.

     

     

     

    Cheerio for now.

    Timbhoy163……Totally agree with your sentiment re the board , with Bankier being the main culprit, they are spineless and complicit with TFOD2, and I wonder whether his company still has an investment at the Evil Empire ?..a commercial conflict of interest if ever there was one .My view is these people have to be made accountable/elected on a fixed tenure re their “cushy number “ or the status quo will prevail.
