Swally 6,289 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I'm being greedy here but with Morelos going, I would say we need a 3rd striker, a CB and a Bastard of a midfielder to really be confident. I don't trust Edmonson to be of the required level to come into the team, Helander's injury prone and Katic is fucked. I'd rather we got another CB just to be sure. We have Roofe and the swiss lad, i'd rather we had a backup striker with Defoe fucked I'm not too confident starting the season with 2 forwards not used to the SPFL The biggest problem for me is we don't have a no-nonsense game controlling midfielder who has a bit of dig , we have skill and imagination in there, but I feel we're lacking for some matches.

graeme_4 34,527 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Centre mid that goes box to box is a priority. If we’re being greedy, maybe another attacking right sided player. Essentially got the 5 of Hagi, Kent, Roofe, Itten and Morelos into 3 positions. Would be great to have 2 alternatives for each. Even if it’s a Liverpool loan again or (god forbid) Windass on a free. Central midfield is still where we’re weak. Aribo is a stick on. Jack and Kamara OK, but not great. Not sure Davis and Arfield offer much now.

KingKirk 25,647 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Another top quality midfielder and Andreas Skov Olsen for right wing and I'll be delighted. Do it Rangers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many of those CBs are reliably fit and can actually produce the level required to win the league? Who's to say we'll be playing 1 up front all the time? With new strikers might come flexibility, especially when trying to break down the parked buses in Scotland. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersonic 4,654 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 A top quality midfielder is the make or break of our season ahead in my opinion. Maybe if someone bid a decent sum for Kamara and we got reasonable fees for the likes of Docherty and Jones we could manage two quality midfielders. Would really be the difference.

esquire8 42,752 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Got a feeling we will going for a Scottish national midfielder. Especially if the fringe players who made up our quota in last seasons Europa League leave. Possibly another reason Zungu was not completed. Can't leave ourselves short.

The Godfather 71,893 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 There's no way we'd be bringing in two forwards for the mone mentioned plus keeping Morelos.

Who knows who else is out there that could improve us and is Scottish John fleck or Armstrong at a push but probably beyond us cash wise and one is a ex mutant player. Tough times to fill the quota.

Number5 2,121 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I think we'll definitely see a new CM and I imagine a loan or 2 (maybe with options to buy?) Just hopefully we don't get hold of a Liverpool loanee who is shoehorned into the squad/team when they are obviously shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WizardWalters 476 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 A dynamic midfielder with presence and a new 4th choice striker better than Stewart. Sell Jones, Stewart and Docherty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would say Kent, Hagi & Aribo at a push, who else you thinking of? We need to get rid of signings like Stewart, Barker, Hastie, Jones, Murphy...just 5 players that aye are probably on shit wages but added together could easily mean a high profile loan player from the premier league who could give us some added quality I would rather see youth players in if push came to shove and we had injury problems over somebody like Murphy, they've had countless chances now and shown nothing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
