Jambo92 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Seem's he's been living in the West of Scotland whilst all the mess has been going on. Still seems to be a bit of a mess - probably best to avoid. Type of signing Aberdeen would go for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigO Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 He's a good player, and we possibly still miss that bit of unpredictability he'd bring. He's the type to get you out your seat. Wouldn't be against it at all. That said, if we sign Naismith, we have quite a number of forwards now, including Currie and Keena. Not sure there's space for him. I'd rather we had him than anyone else in Scotland, but not too fussed if he goes elsewhere, if that makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMFC THE TEAM FOR ME Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 In my opinion would be a perfect replacement for Milinkovic imagine we lined up like this for next season.. Zlamal Haring Souttar Berra M.Smith Lee Djoum Mitchell Coulibaly Naismith Lafferty Would obviously require signing Naismith, Mitchell however that is a very strong experienced SPL team with options from the bench would be happy if that was the lineup first game of the season probably rotate Djoum Bozanic/Cochrane as Djoum May not be ready.

To be honest from what I’ve seen of Ryan Edwards, he looks a good signing could quite easily start quite a few options from midfield now as well which is promising.

Disagree, I think he needs to play up top. His game isn't about linking play in that way, and you could see that last season. He can do it, but it doesn't get the best out of him. I'd have him right up top next to Lafferty and they can both take turns dropping and pulling wide - basically making the oppo's backline's jobs a nightmare. He showed he can play midfield too and gets stuck in, keeps it simple and can try to drive us forward, and arrive late in the box for headers. Playing him as a playmaker, you lose everything he is good at imo. And now I reread your post and realise I've totally misread it first time! Loathe to delete the above, having put so much work in to it though, so it shall remain as my opinion on Naismith!!! I guess, given my above thoughts, I don't see them as direct replacements in our team. Nice to have both, however unlikely, and your point stands from a financial point of view - if we don't get Naismith it'd free a space for Coulibaly.

I'd agree with that. Our best performances last year came in a pretty orthodox 442. We do have good wing-backs (if we get Mitchell) and no wingers of note though, so it does make sense on paper to play the above formation. We now also have midfield options so 3 CMs also makes sense. The signings CL has made, I think add up to us playing 343 or, possibly moreso 352. Edit: ps, forgot to mention. Three at the back isn't the reason I currently have a hardon.

Never explicitly said “3” at the back is a must. We clearly have options now due to the volume of players signed. However “3” at the back if player correctly under Levein now with the options and players we have could be a good thing so many in the SPL in the modern day use this formation a number of Good performances last season were from that formation. The reason i’d lean towards a 3 also is because we don’t have quality wingers to play a 4-4-2 or 4-5-1 but time will tell Edited June 22, 2018 by HMFC THE TEAM FOR ME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're both players who will hurt other teams at our level but we probably couldn't afford both of them. They'll both probably get 10-15 goals a season.

Definitely prefer him as the 2nd striker or no.10. He's not as quick as he was but his footballing intelligence is excellent. He makes things happen and when he's on his game, we make chances.
