Rabinho

Mair had a decent spell in the conference for Kings Lynn. Hopefully his next loan will be a level or 2 up from that.

I read recently that another English Championship club(can’t recall who)were planning to make a move for him in the summer. Highly unlikely anyone up here outwith the Old Firm could afford his wages. As much as I was a fan of Strachan, I felt one major mistake he made was to ignore Rhodes, finally gave him a chance against Gibraltar and then criticised his one miss during that game. Don’t think he’s been in a squad since.

A while ago I’d have been dead against it but with Griffiths all but written off and Dykes looking short of fitness I wouldn’t be against Rhodes making a comeback if he keeps us his scoring form till the end of the season.

Any idea when the squad is being announced?

Pretty sure got 3 whilst at Newcastle.

That one aye, I didn’t realise he still played fitba.

Watched a bit of the QPR game up until he was subbed. Dykes looks short on confidence although other than a couple of crosses from Lee Wallace he had very little service.

Dominic Hyam at Coventry could be worth a look. Inauspicious start to his career but he’s been one of their better performers this season.

Reports saying Lampard likely to be sacked today. Will probably put paid to any chance if Gilmour going out on loan as I expect any new manager will want a look at the entire squad before letting anyone go out.

I think as far as midfield pecking order is concerned McLean is ahead of Fleck so I’d expect that if Gilmour makes it then it would be at the expense of Fleck which I’d be ok with. If Turnbull continues his form McLean should be concerned about his slot.

England wanted Oli Burke before we capped him.

Lampard binned him pretty early on after he took over and when he was (rarely)fit seemed to play for the U23’s. He was on a decent wedge and I’m sure there was an appearance trigger in his contract as well which probably didn’t help his cause.

He’s had both of them so I’ll go for declaring himself Portuguese.

Can’t disagree with much of that although I’d have McLaughlin in for Gordon.

By we you mean you don’t you?
