Tumshie 205 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Im thinkin Murray will spend roughly the same as last season with about 10 - 12 million available to Walter. Whos going out and more importantly who is coming in?? Think the exodus will include Buffel, Gow, Boyd, Cousin, Hemdani, Webster, Dailly and big Davie Weir. We should rake in a few quid for these guys but I think we definitley need a right back, two centre halfs, 3 quality midfielders and at least two strikers. Any ideas???

Left mid has been the biggest weakness this year in my opinion .We need Left mid Right mid a CB to partner CC and a quality striker .Aside from that we really need to play players in their proper positions and if they get injured use their understudies not use square pegs to fill round holes.We also need to blood the youngsters or loan them out.

Cloud 3 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 First and foremost we need a right back. Playing a weak centre-back in that position is not going to cut it. Left back is okay because I think Papac has done very well, but we might need backup for that position as I think Stevie Smith is out of contract, and Walter hasn't really seen him play due to the injury problems. We'll need a replacement for Davie Weir as he's sadly not going to last forever. I think we need left and right sided midfielders, probably more so on the left. And I think we need a good striker, someone who knows how to play the lone striker role very well (assuming Walter's keeping that system next season). We really need more players that can hold posession well in general. That's been the most frustrating part of this season for me, we can't keep hold of the ball.

davyh27 0 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 We need a right back, a midfileder who can take a man on and run at defences , at least 1 striker, and a centre back. We also need someone that takes a great free kick but also contributes outwith set pieces. That is the absolute minimum we need in my opinion, we probably need more. My main gripe is that our midfield has not been performing, it is completely static meaning that we always end up thumping it up the park from the park. The movement in the middle is shocking.

I hope Boyd stays... the rest can GTF!! We need at least one CB as Weir wont last another 40+games a season, an attacking midfeilder and maybe a winger. Striker is a must as is signing Davis!! RB is the biggest concern we need at least a player to provide decent competition for Whittaker if he is going to be our first choice! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSuedeSambas 54,251 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 If you look at how much we need then we will need a lot more than 12 million to bring in the quality required.

BlueSuedeSambas 54,251 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I gaurantee you we will end up with somebody shite like Dominic Matteo in our defence. He's on a free having been released by Stoke, he can play in two or three positions, he's well into his 30's, he's Scottish and he's shite. Expect him to be signed by this time next week............

FlippinEck 3,719 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Srna would be a beast of a signing, hes a brilliant crosser of the ball and he can play right wing aswell. Any thoughts about hutton leaving would disappear if we signed Srna but I have no idea how much they would want for him, while we are at it we could go for rakitic but I could never see us being able to get him either . maybe we will go for nugent aswell?

Bazza 21 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 More than anything, I think Smith will be looking at our right of midfield and looking for a quality man for that position. The other main problem points are Right Back and Center Back. We have Beasley comming back on the left and Adam and McCulloch as cover there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far away from shite its unreal. If he can stay clear of injuries, and get a clean time of it, I'd take Dominic in a flash. Similiar to Christian in that he can play in several positions, but much much better. Infact much better than our several defenders that we have at the moment like Whitttaker, Broadfoot and Dailly and could do a job in midfield too. Great pedigree too, a semi finalist with Leeds in the glory days and much under-rated signing during that Leeds era before they nearly died and someone who came up the Liverpool with the likes of McManaman, Fowler and Jamie Carragher. - great goal And an even better assist: Skill and solidity.

Clark 0 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I know the strike force get a lot of stick, but some people also ahve to realise the Rangers have scored more goals than any other SPL team this year. Also with people saying our defence is our strong point, Celtic have conceded less. People say 4-5-1 is very defensive but the outcome has been very different. Letting in more goals and scoring more, I think some people have to remember this as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
