MCLACHLAN1 49 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I know our priorities thus far seem to be defence and that is understandable.However.With Weiss going back to Man City I am wondering where our Pace, width and creativity will come from?A lot of times mid season it took a wee spark from Weiss to change things and im hopeful we actually will be looking to address this.Is the Kid from Paraguay the thinking on here?

GrangemouthRSC 832 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I think Naismith will be key player this season and wait and see what position Ortiz going 2 play,looked OK against Linfield but was only a friendly.Hopefully Ally will try and bring Vlad back on loan or even buy him if price is right Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Hopefully from Juan Manuel Ortiz, Steven Davis, Steven Naismith, Gregg Wylde, Jamie Ness, John Fleck, Kyle Lafferty, Nikica Jelavic...I'd like to think that we will bring in a wide man/winger and a central midfielder, one with a bit of bite, but who can also get on the ball and create, along with another striker.It's what we require.

MCLACHLAN1 49 Posted July 17, 2011 Author Share Posted July 17, 2011 We've plenty of creative players. Ness can pick a pass, while of course there's Davis, Jelavic and Ortiz who are all capable of a bit of magic.I mean more in the sense of attacking full backs with pace and trickery.Ortiz doesn't look pacy, Naisy and Jela will in the higher parts of the park.I would just like to see a bit of creative flair in the side and not someone like Big Lee doing star jumps and getting skinned all the time.

CottonRunt 978 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 We are buying Messi with our warchest.Seriously though, i can see us maybe bringing in an attacking midfielder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
graeme_4 34,959 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I think Wylde will a bit part player, but certainly has the pace to make an impact (could be a bit like Novo over the last 3 or so years coming off the bench).If we bring in Cuellar then it will definately free up Whittaker to push forward and give Ortiz a bit of back up.I'm still hopefully we will bring Weiss back, back I'm sure if we don't we will be in the market for a winger of some sort. With Jela, Naismith, Davis, Ortiz, a new winger and even Ness I think we will be fine in terms of creativity. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef 436 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I think too many underestimate wylde and possibly what he can offer for us, i hope he is a regular as i think he merits it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlippinEck 3,719 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Id honestly be delighted if we brought in that Estigarribia guy but ive doubted our interest in him from the start and if we were in for him now we'd have a fight on our hands!

Muff 245 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 People have got to remember that Gregg Wylde is still only 20 and has made less than 25 first team appearances.He certainly has the pace, directness and ability to deliver a ball, he was fantastic in the 1st half at Rugby Park on the last day. The more experience, the better he will get. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more experience, the better he will get.I laugh when I see people writing him off "All he can do is run"... thats still a great attribute to have when we have a team littered with players with poor ability on the ball, where there second touch is normally a lump up the park or a pass to another team mate, your broadfoots, weirs, mccullochs. As you say, the more Wylde plays the better he will get and I think he will get a fair bit of game time. I think the same goes for Hemmings, I honestly dont think we need to go out and spend £2M on Goodwillie when we have Hemmings who has a bit more height and strength and imo the potential to do well for the club, save us £2M and go on and hopefully do the job that Goodwillie would do without all the hassle that comes attached with him...

Amac9 2,060 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 As long as we can keep Davis, Jelavic, Naismith fit then they are capable of creating chances.But I would like us to get one or two more attacking players in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boab 73 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 He impressed me a lot last year- he has the raw materials to be a cracking player, it just seems to be a question of refining his technique a bit more.I agree, wasn't having a go at you by the way, it was a general point.
