I just want us fans to have the best squad we can afford and as far as I can see we can't afford much. Free Agents, players well into their thirties and loans may be good enough, but forgive me for wanting to see us rip the tarriers and the sheep shaggers apart. As for my comment on King's money, he promised us the moon and the stars, at my age I'm a bit impatient. I don't see the not spending transfer fees as that much of an issue when you see the quality we're actually getting. 2 years ago could you have seen the likes of Barton and kranjcar here? Yeh they're both getting on a bit but they've been played in the big league down south and Barton was a top player last year in a league much better than ours, and not forgetting the youngsters like rossiter who is highly thought of by many. Fair enough we've been promised money but why go throw it about when there's no need Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondie7 24 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 As someone else mentioned we've also lost Ball, Gideon and Billy King. Gasparrato wasn't really involved with the squad and obviously we have the likes of Murduch, Crawford and Walsh who've returned. I don't see those three being involved much tbh. I Still reckon another striker, winger and CH in. If any loans come up later then great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

K.A.I 36,183 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 IMO a "lean" squad was another reason we didn't win the cup final. I do quite like the idea in principle, but I think it's a pretty exact science. You've got to have the right number and the right type of players. There's absolutely no need to have a first team squad of about 30 players that can all do a job - like the tarriers. That's mental for the Scottish game.

Players Out: 1)Law - 2)Clark - 3)Bell - 4)Sheils - 5)Templeton - 6)Gasparroto Players In: 1)Barton - 2)Gilks - 3)Windass - 4)Crooks - 5)Kranjcar - 6)Hill - 7)Rossiter Bell - Gilks = arguable improvement (experienced number two) No significant impact on first team. Sheils - Kranjcar = Potentially significant improvement provided Kranjcar adjusts to Scottish game??. Law - Barton = Huge improvement (although out of all departing players Law was my favourite) Templeton - Windass = Regardless how successful Josh is he's an extra man given lack of appearances from Templeton. Gasparatto - Crooks = Improvement despite not seeing much of Gasparatto, Crooks offers promise. Clark - Rossiter = Massive improvement, Clark was such a poor substitute and Rossiter could be a huge success at Rangers. Hill = Experience, leader and role model for younger players. So to date we've certainly improved the squad, we've only increased the playing squad by 1 but should expect another 2 or 3 in. Given Templeton and Gasparroto didn't feature that really gives us an additional 3 as it stands, 5-6 additional players in first team squad over last year would be great. Possibly a couple of younger loans on top of that given I've not included the loans from last year (who only had bit part roles). Really believe the squad is much improved, we had the makings of a good team which now could be great. A striker of top quality should be our main target, we've not spent anything on transfer fees to make these signings, I feel this could be where we are needing to push the boat out and sign a penalty box poacher. If we can do that we're in proper good shape going into next season. Your thoughts??... Lolwut Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the concept of a lean squad, but there's lean and then there's pared down to the bone, and last season we were pretty close to the bone. Remember the under strength substitutes benches. Warburton has done well getting young players in last season and hopefully those he's brought in already and may bring in before the season starts will be as big an impact as Waghorn and Tavernier.

Players switch off when they know regardless of form they will be picked with more competition for places there's more competition. What we need is decent quality signings though not players who can just fill in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
