alandRFC 1 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 We need experience in defence, Ally said he wants cup runs so players need replaced, and Broadfoot needs to fuck off to a club at his level he can't even cut out the mistakes against the bottom clubs.

Don81 2,846 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 That squad , even without Goian and Boca would get us to div 1 no problem. I don't think we need to much more tbh.I think another 3, maybe 4 would be fine if nobody else leaves bar Edu and Bedoya.AlexanderGallacherColeBroadfootPerryGoianBocanegraCribariHegartyWallace*another left back?*MitchellMacLeodBlackHuttonMcKayMcCullochShielsSandazaLittleNaismithKyle- I'm sure I've missed a midfielder, maybe not, so we could do with strengthening that area a wee bit more. Apart from that, as other youngsters are developing behind the scenes, think we should be okay without having to stretch our wage budget too far.

El Carpintero 546 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 what ally wants and gets looks to be two different things.How does it look that way? We have just signed 3 players in one day, are talking to more and have a few contracts on the table too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Carpintero 546 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Probably a bit of bartering. Would imagine he didn't expect to get 12 players but if he asks for 12 then if he gets 8, he's done well. a bit like an auction, you don't start at the highest amount your willing to pay.3 more players? Think we'd be alright, aslong as we also replace any further players who leave. We do still have a whole youth side who can supplement the team.Even if we lose Goian and Boca from last night's side, that leaves you with 13 players + Hegarty, Perry, Cribari + 3 new signings = 19 playersThen add to this younger boys like Witorski, Crawford etc. Think we'd be absolutely fine.Hope a couple of these players will be wide players though 3 more if no more leave would possibly be enough, we have to remember though, we have 2 years until we can refresh or improve the squad, i don't think we are quite strong enough enough yet in all departments to get us through 2 seasons. Next year i expect us to be back in the SPL too so the standard will be higher and our need for depth and quality will be even more. Is the lad Wiktorski still here? I thought i read he had been let go. Wide players with flair, skill, pace and creativity would be amazing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought i read he had been let go. Wide players with flair, skill, pace and creativity would be amazing. I'm sure as well I read Witorski had been let go, could be wrong though.Squad is decent, needs a bit more depth perhaps but if the youngsters can step up to the plate, assuming the soon to be defunct SPL don't bribe the SFL to reform the leagues and we take three years to get back amongst that shite, it gives these guys time to develop and we should have a decent squad growing up together.

simplythebest 11,453 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 The younger players are serious members of the squad now, so I think three sounds ok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulReid 184 Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 How does it look that way? We have just signed 3 players in one day, are talking to more and have a few contracts on the table too.cause ally would sign another 20 players if he could but that wont happen will it.he'll get told how many he can have.it wont be how much he really wants.green says 3. thats looking like ally wont get what he wants.understand?

RangersBud 11 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I think we are all of the opinion that the squad we have NOW will rush through Div 3, no problem.Thing is, we need to be able to react if players start getting tired or injuried. I don't think we need mass numbers of players, 3 or 4 are enough for me because I clearly want to see our young lads getting more involved (players like Witkorski, Cole, Kal Naismith, etc.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam2102 579 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Harsh.

I don't think we need to much more tbh.You're right mate.Looking at it, I'd say if the 3 are all midfielders we will be absolutely fine at that, no more. Depending on nobody leaving of course.Also, you have the versatility of players like Shiels, Little, McCulloch, Wallace, McKay which will ensure we have enough options.

Nemesis 277 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 If it's 3 on top of number we have then fineHowever if we lose another 3 (which looks likely) then it needs to be 5 or 6However I don't want us bringing players in for making up the numbers.If we can't attract anyone else decent at the moment then fill the gaps with the youth.I'm erring on the side of realism here.

MrT 173 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 my mate was talking to green before last nights game.he told them there will be 3 more players coming.was quite clear.i dont think its enough and would that be enough for 2 years.we've seen players injured for 6 months or more.i think another 6 players or so.Mr Black is guaranteed a few red cards this year so we will need cover for him.I would like to say thank fuck he wont crock anymore of our players but Eggman might step out of line yet.

Manno 11 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Big Jig and Broadfoot aswell.With the additions of Sandaza and Kyle, plus Little and Shiels can play up front, Lee could easily play in a holding midfield role or even in a back three. Looked shattered after half an hour on Tuesday (albeit we've not had a proper pre-season).Think we certainly need a couple of wingers and backup for Wallace. Darren Cole should be enough cover in a back three or for Broadfoot. If Broadfoot leaves (please God, please) then maybe we'd need a replacement.Admittedly I don't know much about the youngsters, but we do seem to have a good number of players - Gallacher in goal, Cole, Hegarty, Perry, Clarke in defence, Macleod, Crawford, Mitchell in midfield, Naismith, McKay, Hemmings up front Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 have to remember we are paying these players very good wages considering the Division etc so we must keep a close eye on finances. Unlike the SPL we should be able to run with a slightly smaller squad and we have already seen the impact that the likes of MacLeod & McKay can have at this level Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
