Hm. Yesterday's Record had a bit tacked onto the end of the Forfar match report saying we'd do a deal in the next few days. Curious... |

Tully says a striker's agreed terms. Name doing the rounds (and unconfirmed) is Mario Bilate, who's 23 and Russian/Dutch and 6ft 3 and previously at Sparta Rotterdam. There's a clip of him doing a Duncan Ferguson-ish overhead kick that you can go find yourself, frankly, since I'm not your bloody slave. |

Oh, bloody hell. Here he is then. But there's also a suggestion he's now Shota Ameobe, or possibly Shola Ama. Either seems equally plausible. Now excuse me, I've got this weird craving to buy loads of Nike trainers. |

Does it rhyme with latte? Or dilate? |

He'll have a few of the locals Dilate-ing. And not for the first time in my home town for some of them. |

Nephew in Rotterdam tells me it's pronounced "bill at", but I prefer Super Mario. |

God, were close seasons always this dull? I'm bored. Just to pass the time, does anyone care to have a punt at the optimum starting 11? I'm guessing GMS is off very soon, in spite of protests otherwise, and that Robertson stays for another six months. So, XI: .................. Cz Watson Fojut Souttar Robertson ........ Rankin Paton .... Dow Armstrong Ciftci ...... ....... Bicurious Understudies: . ............... McC Wilson Dillon Morris Spittal .......... Petrie Fraser .... Connolly Telfer Smith .............. Graham Unless I'm mistaken, that leaves Kudos, Butcher, Erskine, Gardyne and all the yout's. As things stand, we shouldn't be overly worried about an injury crisis. |

Not sure where he's played pre-season, but I was hoping Spittal would be a good attacking midfield option to liven up the attack. If Ciftci plays up front, that gives us Bilate, Graham as alternate options, with Spittal also a goal threat hopefully. We've plenty midfielders, so I think it makes sense to keep Ciftci up front. Also unsure on the best approach for Souttar. It might be easier to settle the defence with Dillon alongside Fojut and let Souttar force his way into the team. |

Can't really see a natural replacement for A-Rob in the squad. Do we have any secretly talented left backs I don't know about, or would it be a case of Dillon or Wilson filling in there? Why not find out what Stuart Duff is doing these days and give him a go? |

The crowd are missing someone to boo, unless Erskine gets another 45 mins at some point. Maybe put Erskine at left back? He's got pace and height and looks a little bit like Duff. |
