Andyy53 26 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 With Bougherra probably leaving, Weir hopefully calling it a day, Foster going back to Aberdeen and Papac said to be leaving too, we really need to strengthen our defense next season. I've heard were after that Brazillian guy, Douglao I think hes called, but IMO we would need another 4 or 5 defenders to be safe for the season, assuming they all leave. I for one would love Bartley to stay, whether it be on loan or permanent, as I think he looks a leader in the making, something which we really need, a leader. But I have no idea on other defensive players who we could afford. If they can find players like Izzaguire on the cheap, whats to stop us? Theres only a few I'd take from the SPL to be honest, and even thats pushing it. What do yous reckon? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirWalterSmithLegend 206 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I really hope they all leave. As for names, i have no idea. Thats what Murray and Bomber are paid for.WhittakerBroadfootis a start Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyy53 26 Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 Yes I can't come up with names either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goianegra 4,710 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Full back wise I think Lee Wallace and Keith Watson have massive potential. Paul Dixon arguably has the best cross in the SPL at the moment, his cross for DU's second goal was outstanding against us.Would love to see Ross Perry given a chance next season as he could become another Wilson if not better.

As for Dixon, I agree. Not seen any of Watson to comment on him. Think we might go back for that championship guy we were supposed to be interested in in Jan. I wonder.

BananaMan 63 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 We need to strengthen our defense first and foremost, no idea who we could sign though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyy53 26 Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 Was just thinking there, that could potentially be 7 defenders we could lose in 2 seasons. Those 4, and even thats not including Bartley, Webster and Wilson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieWonder88 10 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Wee Cole and Hegerty might get the chance to step up or that big Polish boy in our youth team, im sure at least one of these boys will feature next season.So we now have at least 3 guarentee'd defenders for next season and maybe 4 wae that Brazilian boy...Maybe Bamba is worth a look or that other big boy Dikoh at hibs? Cheap and seem to do a decent job time to time. Am sure Ally has this as a top priority with naming a defender hes intrested in already, so am sure Rangers scouts are busy as we speak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirWalterSmithLegend 206 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Really don't see why the lad is disliked on here. Been excellent for Hearts the last few seasons. Wallace is solid, has a sweet left foot. Of-course he has areas that would need to be addressed, but at a better team I think he could thrive. IIRC his contract expires in 2012, so could get him on the cheap. Dixon is another with potential. I know many on this board don't like to sign 'SPL players' but some of these lads have potential to become very good IMO.Watson was the best player on the park that day, had Wylde in his back pocket and made about 4 last ditch tackles to save them. Looks to have raw talent and is only 21.I agree with you, ive wanted Wallace for years. I liek Dixon and Watson is showing some potential.But could we really sign Conway, Goodwillie and another 1 or 2 from Dundee Utd? Just to piss off Thompson i think we should. They are no worse than what we have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGM_72 4,065 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Would love it if we could capture Mathias Jørgensen. Paul Dixon was the best left back in the SPL a couple of seasons ago I felt, but he's struggled with niggling injuries and inconsistancy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1st_Jan_1994 4,868 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 We need a whole new defence by the sounds of it. Whittaker for right back ... but no idea the rest. I wouldn't sign Foster and I'd tell Papac to finish up.Weir will retire and Bougherra we will need to cash in on if it's true he rejected a new contract.

Irwin Sparkes 97 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Remember last summer Jose Goncalves claimed on his official website that he had agreed to join Rangers, then everything went quiet and he spent 6 months out of the game before returning to SwitzerlandJust wtf was that all aboutI'd have signed him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sturtyboy81 0 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Kaspars Gorkss from QPR and Ashley Williams Swansea City would be two good solid defenders for next season.
