From what I've read it sounds like if we get the MLS on board with the deal, we're still relying on an appeal on the work permit front. Ramirez need a work permit but it seems Jack Gurr doesn't 2 1 Link to comment

Unless it was conducted by Celtic. Then everything would have been announced into the public before they'd even spoken to the player, only for it to fall through and for them to look silly AGAIN Link to comment

Also, states that although we still want Clark Robertson and Jamie McGrath, the chances of those happening are slim. Have heard whispers that McGrath could be going to Peterborough. Wouldn't trust that source.... Gurr on loan? He was released from Atlanta! Link to comment

OP has also VERY NOTABLY been completely absent from thread for ages to avoid any & all questions on the matter & has already proven it to be complete shite Hes a kick in the jeer off signing , he understands the game makes good runs and angles he will score a wad of goals , get him signed .......early doors yet , give him a chance. 1 Link to comment

Don't think Gurr was released by Atlanta. He just moved up to the Atlanta A team in April. The linkage in wikipedia is referencing Atlanta United, Lisandro López agree to mutually terminate contract. not Gurr Link to comment

Unless there is some sort of MLS loophole / problems with internal transfers they want to get around. I do think the Atlanta connection will do good, but there will be a few eyebrow raises to go with it along the way haha! Hernandez the first of many! Link to comment

And obviously the better ones won’t be allowed to, or will be too expensive. Link to comment

That's the main issue with this relationship, partnership, whatever you want to call it. The teams are too close in terms of their levels to be able to help each other out much on the playing front. But they've invested a fair sum of cash in our club and will want something in return which makes us the junior party. Link to comment

Things like the Hibs/Brighton tie in I get. They maybe get first dibs on trying to sign the likes of Doig, Hibs get a promising youngster on loan etc But us & Atlanta? Nah, don’t see it at all.

DonsManDan Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Lets see what Ramirez brings! I can only presume the idea of tapping into our Scout Network this side of the pond, is the avenue Atlanta want to tap into. But at the very least it is making us look at players we wouldn't have looked at before just down to geographical location. Link to comment
