Marley injured again. Has anybody else heard this? If it is true this guy seems to have developed a problem since transfer window opened (and closed)

Quote "Individual commitment to a group effort is what makes a team work" Vince Lombardi That better?

Sometimes the suits one week are next to you on the terracing the following week !!! or are you the only one that knows about football.

Agree entirely but how do you know they were not looking and it is just there is no one available on the wages being offered. The world and their wife are after strikers with a track record we need time to source players and bring them on , Mackay and Rooney were not prolific scorers in their first season with the club . It takes money to get an instance replacement and whilst there is probably money now it possibly only arrived in the clubs bank account on Saturday

iHE your comments infer that the club and management knew that Billy would leave in this window whereas the club were given 4 days we understand to make the best decision for the club and also get a prolific goal scorer in to replace Billy . that is a big ask and to give JH time to find the replacement we knew would be required at the end of the season would take more than 4 days . whilst hard to take losing someone who MAY have given us our best season ever that was by no means a given and we need to leave the management team to make these decisions and back them, although I agree the chances of getting new players in within the window probably not achievable . Still looking forward to rest of season and next

Not so sure the criticism of management is fair as they appear to have recognised the need for a striker when they signed Ibra. However with success comes expectation both with incoming players and fans. If an affordable striker is brought in and doesn't immediately come up to Billy's scoring prowess they will get stick. If they sign a striker of note the wage expectation due to the clubs recent success is way beyond affordability Damned if they do damned if they don't

Compensation all depends on when we sign a player and how old he is when he leaves

The press release was October last year I can assure you he is no longer at Grimsby nor at Bolton but doesn't really matter as it appears JH has access to a better regime so time will tell.

I will keep off the capitals so as to have a more balanced opinion ! Marsella went to Bolton then left there and has been unemployed for months and working free-lance whilst considering a position with Motherwell No guesswork just fact

WELL IT ISNT WORKING IF THE QUALITY THEY HAVE SOURCED ARE HORNER AND IBRA AND DONT SAY WE DIDNT NEED PLAYERS BECAUSE OF OUR CURRENT SQUAD IT IS NOT SO LONG AGO FANS WERE SUGGESTING BILLY HAD SHOT HIS BOLT AND WE NEEDED A NEW FORWARD -THIS SCOUTING REGIME COMES UP WITH IBRA!!!PERSONALLY PREFERRED THE GUYS MARSELLA TOOK TO THE CLUB

I do not think so !

(Niculae went for 500,000 euros.) LESS 450,000 EUROS IN COSTS ,EXPENSES AND LEGAL FEES!!!

WE HAVE 9 UNSIGNED PLAYERS WITH NO REPLACEMENTS DO YOU BELIEVE WE CAN GET SOME GEMS LIKE MARSELA HAS SOURCED IN THE PAST BETWEEN NOW AND THE END OF THE SEASON -IT TAKES TIME AND HOURS ON THE ROAD TO GET THESE GUYS . HORNER AND IBRA WERE HARDLY THE TYPE OF PLAYER WE WERE AFTER -IN FACT 10 OF THE CURRENT 1ST TEAM ARE MARSELA'S

Agreed but we get compensation if he signs for another club so no real rush albeit I would love to see him resigned Asap for at least 2 years

Talking about Marsela we need him over the next 12months to replenish our depleted squad. Understand he is unemployed but if any team knows his worth it is ICT. He would be worth signing at probably a wage well below the footballers as current management team have found no one over 12 months

Maybe so but unless we double their salaries we will not keep them .The money is the motivator -particularly where we have been over the last 3 years as we are a successful top 6 clubTo pay them what they are being offered we need an extra 2/3000 coming through the gate at home games Much as we enjoy where we are at present keeping our top players isn't going to happen in the near future and at least we keep them for 2 or 3 seasons now instead of the 1 year contracts we used to have

That crowd on one of coldest spells of the year at the end of most expensive periods in terms of extra available cash and a Tuesday night was a great result . However as long as it did not cost the club money in overall projected takings for this match then the extra fans watching makes it a success

the biggest issue I have with refs is their inconsistency not just from game to game but during games . Often the player first in the book is that players first bad tackle but it has come after a number prior to his . However Collum does seem to be a law unto himself . I see the Championship refs are getting a substantial pay increase

Agree particularly when he appears to want to sign and is the best right back we have had for sometime

Don't agree. Most decent agents will have the interests of their clients foremost. Very few players will move for less money. Doubt Tansey and Adam Rooney would agree that going for more money helped their careers. Do agents really know what improves football players because more money often results in less games and less exposure and potentially a slide into lesser leagues . These players should be careful what they wish for!

Assuming MacKay and Shinnie areaway next year who do we need to resign to get a competitive team on the park Brill( signed) Raven ? Meekings? Warren( signed). Tremarco( signed) Tansey ( signed) Draper ( signed). Vincent ( signed ) Christie ( signed) Watkins? Doran( signed) Foran ( signed) Ross? 4 resigns with 2 ie RAven and ROss probably a given doesn't seem too bad and can only getter better as month continues.

We no longer have Steve Marsella doing 100,000 miles a year hunting them down as I suspect we have no money to pay more wages and no position in the squad at present but let s see what end of season brings

A derby game during festive holiday will always attract a bigger crowd . Possibly the only game certain people attend in the year or possibly can attend due to them being abroad for the rest of the season ! I respect those attending on that basis far more than those that live in inverness and should support ICT but elect to travel to Glasgow every 2 nd week As time goes by and the team consistently remain in top six our fan base will grow we are after all a very young football club with lots going for us and we should remember and enjoy what we have

Have the possibility of 6 on the bounce if we can deal with scum dee Utd where might that put us !!

Suspect if he goes to Birmingham it will be in January as they are trying to climb into top 10 and will have money If it is Aberdeen it will be end of season on a PCA as the Dons like their chairman are miserable b******s and would not pay for him
