GersInCanada 7,775 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 If these players have not broken into the 1st team by the age of 20 then it's likely they are not good enough for the EPL. It then becomes a question of whether they are better than youth we already have. That's a decision for the scouting team and Gerrard to make. I don't see us selling or buying this summer. Everything will be too uncertain. Small incremental improvements is the best that will happen. The current squad on their day can beat anybody in Scotland and could easily go deep in another European campaign. I am a glass half full type of person.

If this connection was that good we’d have been looking at maybe taking Harry Wilson at the time etc. Brewster is probably the one where u think that’s decent. Still no 100% sure of loan signings anymore though, we always get burnt with them Exactly Wilson is the one we should’ve been going for instead of accepting their shite Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current squad on it's day can beat anybody in scotland true. But it's also showing it can't do it over the full course of a season. 2 years in a row we've been in good position pre winter break and falling apart post break. We need first team ready players that can improve on what we already have. Transfer Market will be very different this summer for sure, but I still expect we'll do some business.

giffnockger 4,840 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Quite happy with the spine of our squad just now. For me certain starters would be: Shagger Tav (- no way he is not starting etc) Helander Barasic Jack Hagi Kent + Morelos. Build squad round that. Defo need another centre back + right wing + at least 2 strikers. Could also do with another attacking mid I think. Do we have Jamie Murphy back? would defo bring him + McCrorie back into the fold. Hopefully no more Liverpool rejects this season! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenoz 30,944 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 There is no way we cough up anywhere near 2m for Dykes when we can get Brewster on loan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GersInCanada 7,775 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Personally I am done with loan deals unless there is a agreed price to buy the player if we like him (Hagi). I have no problem with cross border deals where we get a youngster with promise for a small fee. Taking a punt in Eastern Europe does not bother me either. For every Grezda we may well uncover a Katic or a Barisic. I am very much against going into the English market and trying to buy an established first team player as they are way overpriced. Out of contract players - bosmans - are fine but we should be looking to bring a youngster in from the academy first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think assuming no one is sold we need 3 more quailty players. I'd be looking for 2 x CM. 1 who can dominate and go up against hammer throwers. 1 with a good range of passing and creativity. Ideally also wanting someone that can shoot consistently long range to offer a different threat going forward. We also need a RW. Last season we have hagi, aribo and arfield out there and it didn't work. We need a player that can play their naturally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a squad of 29 players currently and 13 could leave permanently or on loan and none would be missed. A great summer would be 3 quality signings, 5 improved back ups and getting rid of 8+ not good enough. Never going to happen, would settle for two more quality players, 3 back ups and getting rid of at least 6 at the club currently. Yep another 2/3 starters and would do me and some squad options, a right winger, centre mid and centre back, I’ll like to sell Tav and get a replacement in though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd slot into a team of shitebags with us, he won't be carrying us through any games I'd fear. I think that's the difference. You need to have the right players around these young players - or it's pointless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broxi 11,513 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 For me, as long as we sign a quality RW and have appropriate cover around the pitch I'm happy. I only need one more quality signing. Anything else is a bonus for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have 46k season ticket holders and match day costs will be significantly reduced, I don’t think we’ll be too much worse off tbh, assuming season tickets sell out that is, think the big loss will be in home Europa league games so yes we’ll feel it there but hopefully the merchandise will compensate this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
