There's hope for us all yet to become professional fitba players.

Möller away for 700k 😱

Whilst that's great business and he was a bit shite when he played, it leaves us with balsa wood Watters and the not ready Stirton as centre forwards.

Wtf…£700k? For Moller? That’s like winning the lottery.

I honestly couldn’t give a fuck if it leaves us a body short up front, you could honestly stick Dave Richards up front and he’d have the same effect.

That was my thought too. £700k for Möller. Christ.

No easy games but I still think there's plenty quality in that squad (given a chance)provided Jim hasnae lost the dressing room

new African joker?
Emmanuel Agyei, Ghanain

So you do know his name.

Faruggia & the new African joker…

I see you

Moller gone for an undisclosed fee.
Well what a surprise.
If United were getting £700k invested into the club from a player we got for nothing less than a year ago and has hardly impressed, should they not be shouting from the rooftops about it?
Mark Ogren sticking it right in his pocket
whatever.

I’d be surprised if it was as much as £700k, but to get any sort of transfer fee for him is great business for us. I was worried we were gonna have to pay him off in the summer just to get him to leave. And now Goodwin doesn’t even have the option of bringing him on for the last 25 minutes of games.

We the fans are the big winners today,

Whoever negotiated that deal at the club should get a statue

He might just be our saviour, surely we can come out with one diamond.
Any Ghana flags?

Will we still be able to sign out of contract players?

Johnny Russell is without a club after leaving Real Salt Lake City last month.

I'd bring him in immediately.

No brainer. 4 month holiday. Jonny gets his hands on the Tennents Scottish Cup

Conway11 · 12/2/2026 2:13 pm

An absolutely outstanding bit of business from the club

This just sums in the chuckle brothers though - A new keeper and new striker gone before the middle of February.

Dolcek - started great then form fell off a cliff due to the manager - MAYBE
Esselink - very quickly exposed - FAIL
Keretezes - agent is throwing him around europe in the hope someone takes him - FAIL
Eskenen - I don't even know what to say about that - FAIL
Iovu - can't tackle - FAIL
Watters - Mince - FAIL
Nammo - signed on loan then immediately on a permanent? don't get it - MAYBE
Sapsford - breath of fresh air but now being hung out to dry same as Dolcek - PASS
Fatah - will be brilliant in an attacking side - PASS

The chuckle brothers recruitment and set up is a disgrace. get rid of both

Aye that's a fair point 👍

SlatefordArab · 12/2/2026 2:23 pm

Unreal that somebody has given us that fee, any fee for Moeller.

Give a chunk of that cash to Johnny if he is indeed a free agent now, and let him lead the line for the rest of the season.

Ogren will be delighted £700k made from a dud. Only way Ross Goodwin leaves if an offer from down South comes up.

He’ll be 36 before the end of the season, and he’s a player who’s game was very much based on pace. I personally wouldn’t bother.

I dont usually buy into getting old players back in however, more than his striking skills, he was an absolute leader at kansas. Imo we need more direction. Love big ross but not sure hes a natural commander.

He knows the league abd isn't afraid to battle.ni'd rake him in a heartbeat until the end of the season. Whether he would want it is completely different

Yeah, and Brian Graham’s game isn’t based mostly on pace and running in behind, he was as slow for us at 25 as he is now.

Rumour that Eskesen may also be away in next week…dunno if we’ve managed to get a fee for him or not

His game awareness, physicality and hold up play (and probably finishing) still far better than Watters and Stirton though I would wager. He might not be the 22 year old Johnny Russell anymore, but might still be a worthwhile asset for the ton of big games coming up.

Can't think of too many other Strikers who are without a club, fit available and know the club, the City and Scottish football better than him.

Seems a no brainer to me.
