Accurate passes in them conditions? You having a laugh assessing him on that park? Only stat that mattered last night was Scotland 2 Georgia 0.

Georgian striker Mikautadze - 71% pass accuracy last night.
McGregor - 88% pass accuracy last night
Gilmour - 88% pass accuracy last night
McGinn - 79% pass accuracy last night
FFS even the keeper, Gunn was more accurate.
I could go on Sweep but it looks like playing in the rain isn't for everybody?
Though he might do OK playing for Rangers in the scorching heat of Glasgow compared to the rain sodden Hampden with Scotland situated in, eh Glasgow. ?.

We could also put on Dessers stats and that wouldn’t have read well in lot of his games the past 2 seasons
But some seemed to think he would have been good?

I’m a Dykes fan and think he’s been up here before and knows the league and would be in a better team/ club this time around so why not
and if MB wanted him and got him then surely you have to support it ?

anyway hooefully we’re doing our homework and we get top quality in.

Good stats as always MPH I see some people making excuses now for players that ain’t even at our club.

Need to get realistic on who we can afford and more importantly who actually fancies playing in SPL, as shown already with Tillman,

How many times does Gilmour and McGregor pass the ball 2 yards sideways compared to Dykes. In a match like that Dykes job is to be a pest and upset the defence something he is clearly doing very well at because Scotland have 12 points. Comparing him to the Georgia forward is a joke aswell as Georgia play a complete different style to Scotland in regards to the forwards playing a lot of 2 yard passes to each other. Dykes runs around up front himself to bring others into play.

They have brought back Rodgers, they will spend big yet folk want us to go for Dykes as the answer, make it make sense.

If we signed dykes I honestly think he would be an upgrade on last season, at least the effort would be there. Is he good enough ?probably not. Can we sign the next jelavic, prso, arveladze? Probably not.

Hi Ethelbert, I am confused with your comment @probably because they are used with mediocrity in their CF', what do you mean by 'they'.

Can understand this them spend big, if they lose kyogo and Hatate they ain't buying better than them because players like that will not come to play in Scotland.

Beale, hopefully they sell those two, with others, and waste the money on new players.

Sweep plenty other had very good passing accuracy on the park.

Rodgers has a habit of buying poor players that doesn't cut it mark, once again if they lose a few they ain't bringing it better doesn't matter what they have as a transfer budget.

Judging a player on one game, at the end of a long season in terrible conditions.

How about 2 goals and 1 assist in 4 Euros qualifiers? He is vital to the way this Scotland team play and Beale liked him at QPR.

21 Jun 2023 19:25:37
Beale if those players don't leave
Where does that leave us as we need to bring in better than what they have! Does that mean we can't bring in better players because they won't want to come to Scotland?

MPH your doing the exact same now towards dykes that coldo did towards alfie in that it's constant now mate ? Ok you don't rate him a good few on here do and like we've all said on here stats ain't the be all and end all mate ? He most definitely for me would bring something to our SQUAD, we currently don't have mate ?.

Gms look at Cantwell mate, yes top players can be signed but certainly not with them still cutting it in top leagues, this is very simple really, if you were a top player would you come into our poor league?

22.) 21 Jun 2023
21 Jun 2023 20:31:00
Nobody knows how a player is going to perform until they're on the pitch. So just like we did celtic could sign top players like cantwell that have fallen away or sign players like kyogo or hatate who most of us had never heard of.

So yeah you're right that was simple.

SWS so it's ok for you to constantly rant about how good you think a player is but tottie can't constantly rant the opposite? Behave. This is supposed to be a forum where we can all express our opinion. Have a day aff man.

Pipe down, SWS.
Sweep said no one could pass it in those conditions.
I've proved him wrong with stats. Every single player in the Scotland starting 11 including the keeper had better passing accuracy.
I'll make my point that I think Dykes is rank rotten with facts and you can make your point that you think Dykes is a talent by stating an opinion only.
And you saying over and over and over that you like Dykes isn't going to change my mind.
If someone starts a new thread about Dykes then I'll contribute.

Yes gmw said players like that, or talented players that doesn't play in top leagues, but not that many will cut in our league, the Japanese players signed for a different manager and his style of football can they adapt to another man charging his system.

26.) 22 Jun 2023
22 Jun 2023 04:50:58

Yes or no simple question my friend ?.
