He hadn’t played for sometime, was training with us and then signed for Hamilton and probably kept them in the premier last season ? Even the ever cautious could drop the "probably" from that statement. If you take the Coulibaly story as gospel (given the source a rather huge "if") it looks like a lot of work to be done to get the lad signed up. Btw wouldn't the fine be in euros? I know there's little difference these days but if so it does highlight a not unexpected inaccuracy in the report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more accurate to say that we kept Hamilton in the Premier at our own expense, thanks to our generous donation of four points to their final total.

Dweazel Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 feel this story is a non starter. cant see it happening. that said miracles do happen. still think we have 3/4 more players to go and time running out. hope we get some people in soon but not just any players to make up the numbers. ones that compliment the team and bring something fresh to us. looks like we have solid foundations to build on this season.

MonehJags Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 If we somehow managed to sign him it would be a massive coup for the club. That said, why are the likes of other teams like hearts, hibs, aberdeen not looking at him as he is certainly good enough to be playing at that level. We'll likely end up signing his brother 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being pedantic, it probably isn’t given that Hamilton won 33 points last season, but even of those 4 won against us, I am pretty sure he scored goals that accounted for at least 3 of those 4 points.

Vinnyjag Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 Archie on Jagzone interview confirming Coulibaly in to train and for Archie et al to establish if he would fit in to the squad. It wasn’t a “we are just giving him training facilities “ statement. From that I can only assume that the fine he was due to pay the Egyptian team or whatever you want to call it has perhaps been sorted.

Legs Like A Spider Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 I'm not getting my hopes up there's something funny about this. I hope it's not the former Kilmarnock players twin sister! Coulibaly was Kilmarnocks best player at the time he moved for £800k. They didn't want to lose him but couldn't turn down the cash. If he was coming back to Scotland surely he would be looking for a Premier League club who could pay him lots more than we can. It would be a tremendous signing if we got him and he played to the standard he did at Killie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watties wallies Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 watched interviews with archie and penrice on jagzone archie; looks more relaxed, hopefully all the pressure and stress from last season is slowly ebbing away james penrice; i've followed the jags for many a year/decade i've got this gut feeling about this lad, he has got the potential to do great things every time i see him play, his skill, his physical attitude and his appetite to push forward and not afraid to have a pop at goal given the right coaching etc , who knows play him left midfield not left fullback and watch this lad blossom and no, i'm not his faither or his mother honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the following is meant to be inflammatory or contentious LJ. But yes, you are being pedantic with that statement in my view. They didn't 'win' 4 against us - we gifted them those points. Hamilton I saw as the team that we needed to get past all along. At the time of either game I saw those two results as potentially being the crux of our season, and so it turned out to be. In a negative way, sadly. Anyway, it's over now. Hopefully we've got rid of the dross and we can push on now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst Archie are is scratching his head trying to figure out if he could 'fit in' he could end up watching him disappear over the horizon. It seems incredible if we were able to offer him a deal but waited to see him, given he has signed azeez, mukendi, pogba etc off a dvd. It would be certainly worth the wait if the club pulled it off.

If the club has to pay the 1.2 million dollars is maybe why he is holding off for clarification. Not been funny but if we could have afforded that then surely we would have signed shankland by now at the lesser price given he is only 23 and scoring regular goals in this division- whereas because of the uncertainty over the compensation Coulliaby has not been able to play competitively for a year and a half?

There is no danger of us affording anything anywhere near what has been quoted. Perhaps we are waiting for clarification as you say. I was going by someone saying we were waiting to establish if he could fit into the squad. At Killie he got the ball and scored from everywhere, thats what we need, totally bypass the square baws and score goals 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 No chance Coulibaly will be signing for us. Evidently Souleymane is most grateful to PTFC for offering him training facilities and doesn't believe his current contractual situation is in the least way insurmountable. However I heard from a reliable source the principal reason he joined Kilmarnock was he was very impressed with the way Lee Clark waved his arms about. He simply feels that his talents would be wasted playing for a club that endorses a managerial arms folded policy. You win some, lose some I suppose. 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
policemans whistle Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 The boy has not played for a long while due to his contractual arrangements with this Egyptian club. So Thistle offer the club a ;shop window deal. He plays well for the Jags, scores a few goals another club comes in and pays the Egyptian club and Thistle gets commission on the fee . Sorted club a fee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Peebles Tackle Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 We’ve been crying out for a striker for 4 seasons now, so if we can offer him a deal, we should.

Dick Dastardly Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 Is there an investment opportunity for someone like the Weirs ? Do a deal with the Egyptian mob .... sign him on a 2 year deal where he scores a bucket load for us .... sell him after 1 year for more than it cost There May be issues with 3rd party ownership, but if I had a spare $2m then I might be interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly I fear not, regardless of how many he scores. Still, would like to see him sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
