RossS1873 2,686 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Can't wait to see our new young hungry team have the fire ripped out of it by the end of the preseason fixtures and we're all dreading the inevitable first game at Tannadice like last season Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
plymouthranger 4,267 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 8 hours ago, graeme_4 said: Brought in… - Cortes - Nsiala - Jefte - Barron and likely to be Igamane announced tomorrow, and Kelly once Scotland go out. Slightly disappointed to not have shifted any diddies yet and looking really light on quality in forward areas at the moment, but still excited to see what these new guys offer and where they fit in the squad. GK Butland, McCrorie, Kelly RB Tav Devine LB Ridvan Jefte CB Goldson Balogun Nsiala Souttar Davies King CM Diomande Sterling Barron Raskin Cifuentes AM Cantwell Lawrence Hagi Dowell Lammers RW Cortes Wright McCausland LW Matondo CF Dessers Igamane Danilo When you lay it all out, there’s some serious work to be done actually. So much shite to try and shift on. Could move the 5 attacking midfielders on and wouldn’t miss a single one of their contributions. When you look at that squad, there’s about 11 players we need rid of which wouldn’t be a big miss and allow us to bring in circa 5-6 players who’d be first team starters.  Goldson, Davies, Cifuentes, Lawrence, Hagi, Lammers and Dessers all need to be shifted. That’s likely £180k p/w or £9.35million approx per year of dead wages which give us little/no return. graeme_4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s absolutely fine as a 2nd choice striker. Unfair to lump him in with some of the others. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamMunny 3,500 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Dessers misses far too many chances, especially in tight games. Has to go. Can't rely on him. MonTheGers, kelvd1873 and BlueAvenger 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackg93 465 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 I know we have issues all over the pitch apart from GK currently, but in particular, I cannot believe how bad that midfield is on paper.  Would happily bin at least half of them and not give it a second thought. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossS1873 2,686 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 I was wondering where the 'Welcome back' tweets were from Rangers, but knowing it would be a picture of Tav with a smile and a thumbs up that will send the support apoplectic, maybe best to just leave it for now.

hammer93 15,484 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 On 23/06/2024 at 10:50, The Specky Forum Organiser said: Expecting Nsiala and Cortes to be starters. Igamame and Jefte to be punts we hope we can turn into something. Barron somewhere in between. Content enough with that and the fact we're looking to add physicality and youth but expecting the level of player we bring in to start increasing by a fair bit. Also need to start shifting on as many of Tav, Goldson, Davies, Yilmaz, Dowell, Lawrence, Raskin, Matondo, Cantwell, Wright, Dessers and Lammers as possible. I spoke with big mate yesterday he was at Aberdeen last season on the coaching staff,I was asking him about Barron, he thinks as long as we change our style of play....ie a lot less long balls then he will do well for us, claims he is a very good player on the ball and should get a lot of decent game time, asked him about us trying to sign him in January, apparently we never made an enquiry but the other mob had a £250k bid knocked back Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
