kris1984 1,271 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 If you were our new manager and are handed a increased wage budget (12m a year?) with some money to burn on fees - let's say £5m - how would you spend itPersonally I would try get Wilson, Allan & Stevie May for right up the spine of the team then build from thatOthers I would look at: Jason Naismith, Rory McKenzie, new GK, 2 wingers, CM and a few squad playersNo one over 24Prob pushing limits of funds with that Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingKirk 25,691 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 The fees will be closer to 10-14 million that's 2million a player 7 players of quality.. Don't know how I would spend it cause wouldn't know were to start haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainB 599 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 if we are going to spend on players I think the manager is going to need a budget of closer to 10 million for players. Allen and Stevie May would be good starts don't see Wilson coming to us however. We are not going to attract good foreign players so we need to focus on the best young Scottish players we can get supplementing the best young players we have at present.

Wearethepeople72 1,847 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I have no idea in terms of specific targets. However, one thing we need to do is buy players who we will get the benefit out of when we get back to the top flight. We can't afford to do what we've done the past three years and rely on mediocre free transfers. If it means spending a good bit more money this season, then so be it.

He's blue he's white 717 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 No idea on specific targets as I suspect there are hidden gems around lower leagues of England and across the world at a reduced fee than say Wilson. In regard to the overall budget I suspect wages should be capped and the manager needs to work with that regardless of fees etc. I think he will need to spend around 3/4 of our budgets this season and as King mentioned this should be in players that have potential to play a few seasons and good enough to compete in the premier league; and of course, have sell on value.

Ryan_1 1,136 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 A defence first and foremost.A quality CB and RB are a must. If we could add two CB's then perfect. Cover at left back may be needed aswell. A new GK would be my next port of call. Certainly cover is needed if the new manager decided to stick with Bell. Once the foundations are set my priority would be a creative midfielder (Scott Allan), couple pacy wingers, an experienced holding midfield player and a couple quality strikers. We really could be looking at 10+ players coming in over the summer in an ideal world, especially if we want to compete on four fronts.Massive ask for those players aswell as a new management team to come and be bang at it right from the start.

thebluedoo 2,652 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 3 pints of lager and a packet of crisps Good right back, strong central midfielder, one target man striker and some positional cover, then personally I would like to see the likes of Walsh, Casparato, Halket, Galagher and possibly Barrie McKay getting more game time. Great mix of experience, new signings and youth = Promotion imo Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's certainly something other Scottish clubs have done to their advantage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
