We are skint and going nowhere for the remainder of the season. Healey's loan finishes in two weeks, bring him back.

He is Celtics problem not ours.

Good point but Slade obviously thinks we can still make the play offs.
I don't think we will but as a manager he's got to go for it if possible.

Where does it say lets just give up ?

Fans always wanting a quick fix transfer or much worse a loan really make me sick. We have a fully funded academy and U21 programme and half our transfers have been "for future" that never arrives because we keep getting quick fixes in to keep fans like you and sky sports news happy !!!!

If we sign him then it shows a serious lack of ambition. On the cheap yet again.

Re: " Cardiff City make loan offer "

Sun Jan 10, 2016 2:52 pm

Much better than Revell.

10 games left !!?? We've played 25 out of 46, my maths makes it 21 games left !!

Your sentiment is right though, plenty to play for !!

Decent player when his mind is in the game but it seems he's happier getting pissed up in Clydebank pubs and saying silly things on twitter.

If he wants to knuckle down and play football then yeah, if he's looking for a new drinking location then no thanks.

Re: " Cardiff City make loan offer "

Sun Jan 10, 2016 3:28 pm

Not who I would go for but he's in his prime and with something to prove could be a gd signing of he's willing to put the work in and shut his ira mouth


Anyone else notice he's three parents in the op,must be a Irish thing

He was aged 18-20 and most of those appearences were sub so bit harsh to judge him on those 2 years

Agreed. Rather Slade was only allowed to bring in loans.

I hope that he proves me wrong if we sign him but I just can't see it. The Scottish league is absolutely dreadful. Before the season starts, you know exactly who is going to win it :roll:
