Allegedly we are playing Rangers in a Friendly up at Ibrox again, no idea if it's true, but if it is the "experts" will be able to give a more first hand reasoned perspective.

Also it's the Scottish Cup final tomorrow Rangers v the other lot, presumably no one will be watching the fixed final?

A pre season friendly against a championship side won’t prove anything on how well Rangers would do in the Premier League.

Rangers and celtic wouldn't push anything in the Premier league as the league is full of multi billion pound owners .. their 100 mill tv money a year wouldn't really touch these teams .

Mile's away from the Premier leagues top teams in terms of financial power

A good season once in a while but they'd need substantial investment

Can't really work out this signing tbh - we've given him a 4 year deal and he must've been told we've got plans for him to move over from Australia but it would be a massive step up for him to contribute regularly in the Championship, and his numbers aren't even that impressive.

The Australian boy wonder

Ah well thats that then.

Sakamoto's stats weren't impressive either and then proved to be one of our best players.
Let's be optimistic and hopeful rather than glass half empty with everything we do.

Sakamoto was playing at a much higher level and wasn’t moving to the other side of the world.

Just seems a bit odd.

Ahem

I am re-releasing my recent hit to celebrate this occasion.

Doug the Jolly Swagman

Doug the jolly swagman was camping by the CBS
Under the shade of Coventry Cidee
And he sang the sky blue song as he dreamed of New signings
"You can't go a Waltzing with just EMC"

Down came a young Rapha to drink at the anecdote
Up jumped Doug and grabbed him with glee
And he sang as he dragged Rapha into the CBS
"You'll come a Waltzing to the prem with me"

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me
And he sang as he dragged Rapha into th4 CBS
"You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me"

Down came Mark Robins mounted on his thorough-bred
Up came Adi, Godden and Kelly,
"Whose that young midfielder you've just dragged into the CBS
Will he come a Waltzing Matilda with EMC?"

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me
"Whose that young midfielder you've just dragged into the CBS
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me"

Up leapt Doug and lunged at Adi,
No more signings I will fund, only loans said he.
Adi with the uppercut, 1, 2, 3
And Dougs ghost may be heard if you pass by CBS
"Who'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me?"

You do realise Celtic get 50k+ crowds?

But the biggest WTF is saying we would be playing Champions League knockout stages, they are the ones after the groups mate.

Do you mean the play off games that start in July?

I believe there's 2 conversations to be had here...
Our city side in the Scottish prem yeh ( that's assuming our side is beamed into the Scottish prem ? ) we'd walk it !!
But beaming rangers or celtic into our league ...that's an entirely different conversation hahaha ... it would be like beaming a nation state into the championship and with different budgets and sponsorships....im afraid we'd dissappear quickly in the rear view mirror alongside any other team in the champ ....
Don't forget it's a country with a chip on its shoulder... invasions every week .
But hey ...CTID haha

Odd that we have signed someone we think can really improve and was looked at by other clubs as well?

Okay

He's not tearing up the Australian league, which is a poor standard of football.

His underlying stats aren't very good

He's 20, not 18.

He was let go by Melbourne (CFG).

Just can't see it personally. I'll be happy to be proved wrong.

Stranger things have happened. Tatsu's stats were average and his side in Belgium had just been relegated.
