CoplandRoad83 3,235 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Just back from game, only looked decent when Kamberi came on, but up against a good side. Regardless of tonight it's clear we need a new spine of our team (with only exception being goalkeeper). We cannot rely on Goldson and Davis as our 'leaders' (nor Tav), and I think Alfie has now checked out. We are crying out for: A commanding CB that can help to develop the young players like Edmondson and Katic and won't be phased domestically, with the character to succeed and leads from the back. Goldson isn't going to cut it for that role and has shown that over course of season. I don't think Helander is the answer either personally from what I've seen this season. A CM that can win the battles, with personality and the character required to drive the team forward, and impose himself on games and lead the team. A striker thats a replacement for Alfie (no doubt in mind now he is away in the summer). We can't repeat last summer with a large number of players to add 'depth' and not be used. We need big quality in key areas, not quantity, and we need big characters and leaders not young, shy talented kids. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition to that midfielder that can impose and lead. We need a midfielder that bring the ball forward quickly and can pick a pass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrard has mercilessly and absolutely dismantled the guy’s confidence. With a better, more experienced leader/CB beside him, I reckon we’d be looking at a young £10m+ regular Croatian international. It’s shameful how he’s been managed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katic looked the best Croatian CB during the U21 Championships. He was preferred to Benkovic who was sold for £12m at one point. Katic could develop in to a very good CB.

But in all likelihood we are out of all competitions now, so we need to analyse where we are at to move forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersonic 4,654 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Clear out about a dozen or so in the summer, replace with actual quality. No more buying back ups and players who can supposedly "do a job". Otherwise there's no point and next season will end no differently than this season or last. Replace the likes of Fod/Alnwick leaving in the summer with someone capable of benching Mcgregor. Replace the likes of Kamberi/Ojo going back to their respective clubs with someone capable of benching whoever. Bring in a couple midfielders capable of benching the likes of davis/arfield permanently. So on, and so on. Would also help if we manage to buy players that aren't scared of playing Aberdeen/Hearts/St Johnstone, etc, or are overwhelmed by the thought of challenging for silverware.

Replacing squad players is not our problem, and there's nothing wrong with Kamberi tbh, the boy has come in and done well so don't get the parallel with Ojo. We need quality in key areas, a few choice signings, big characters to bring out and develop the rest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't need to be a rant and rave type of anger. But a right good dirty tackle for the cause. An Ian Ferguson or Kevin Thomson type tackle. Nobody fears us anymore. Players like Power and Donnelly come to Ibrox acting all hard these days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
