The training tops are smart though.

Decent wee interviews. Big Markus speaks very well 

 

He does indeed. Seems a decent guy. Might have to check out his podcast, might see some Morton content through it this season.

Not sitting in the 'please sit here' spots isn't a great look is it. 😂

It really is brain-dead to not spot that when choosing to film there, or not to distance.

They do it on purpose, Lynn!

[TRVMP 3976]

Anyway, I enjoyed the interviews. Good questions, good mix of the club chat and the player's individual histories. All three of them come across well.

Interesting that Wallace says he feels he's strongest as a number 10, as opposed to out wide, although he says he can play anywhere.

Markus does indeed seem very eloquent but a guy with his accent has no business using the word "gaffer". Get that changed, Markus. He also says we'll be "hard to beat". Going to hold him to that.

He jokingly said he might play on every continent - that's actually been done by a goalkeeper, Lutz Pfannenstiel. He played in (among others) England, Malaysia, New Zealand, South Africa, Canada, and Brazil. Another one of those, same time tomorrow.

Did wonder who was in goal in the video yesterday, thought surely the haven't chucked Fosu-Mensah in goal...

[TheGoon 668]

22 caps for the Congo, certified baller.

[gmfc_craig 3]

Grant Savoury should be a tasty wee player.

 

 

Sorry...I'll get my coat!

[so72 19]

Mafoumbi, 26, played all 9 of Morecambe's League 2 games from when he signed until the season was curtailed. 2 clean sheets in that period. Has 16 caps for the Congo.

 

Grant Savoury, 20, is an ex-celtic youth who played 6 games for Edinburgh City after signing on loan in January. Started 5, 4 of them as a RW, one as a striker.

All for this keeper but why would we need another striker/winger

Hopkin gonna Hopkin.

[TRVMP 3976]

I'm all for looking for upgrades if we can get rid of dead wood for free, but that doesn't seem to be happening.

[dunning1874 1482]

Another forward would be tremendous patter even by Hopkin's standards. Even if we get to some ridiculous place where we're playing 2-3-5 with the midfield three having two wingers in it we won't be able to fit them all on the bench.

 Fucked it.

[TRVMP 3976]

Our keeper will be away on AFCON duty if they qualify, so we'll go 3-3-5 for those games.

Keeper would have played with Jim at Blackpool, wonder if he recommended him?

Edit- looks very decent on paper, 18 appearances at league 1 level in 18-19,  presumably he will be the number 1 if we do sign him. 

Night and day from big Sam's CV.

Far more likely to be another Timmins recommendation tbh, what with him being goalkeeper coach at Blackpool and all.

True, forget he was there
