jambogjh Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 So far we've signed Alexander, Gomis, Ozturk, El Hassnaoui & Keatings, how many more can we expect within the budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav M Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I'd hazard at 3-5 not including youths. I get the feeling we have a separate budget for the youth side of things. Would be in keeping with what was being said just after the takeover about having budgets set out for all areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greedy_Jambo Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 We're still lacking experience in my opinion. would expect atleast another 3 in if we're looking to get promoted. God knows if we have the money to do that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice of reason Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 So far we've signed Alexander, Gomis, Ozturk, El Hassnaoui & Keatings, how many more can we expect within the budget. We had a super small squad last year and have since released Jamie Hamill, Ryan Stevenson, Jamie MacDonald, Dylan McGowan, Mark Ridgers and Callum Tapping. So we have released 6 and brought in 5 - still one player down on last year's numbers. I think we need at least another 3 or 4 as a minimum just to have adequate cover for injuries and suspensions. I also, just going by the sound bites about the new players, don't think we have a 30 goal a season striker on board and we will probably need one if we are to win the league.

jbee647 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 We haven't had a 30 goal a season since Robbo and I doubt we will get one on 1500 a week. To win the championship or gain promotion a 25 goal a season is an absoloutle must , whether we already have one or still need to sign one we must wait and see, but without one I can guarantee we won't come back up straight away. Look back at football record books for any league in any country and any successful club will have a prolific goal scorer in there starting XI If we fail this season, I can guarentee the major gripe will be that we didn't score enough goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at that year, Hartley, Rudi, Bednar, Jankauskas all pitched in with help from others. No reason we can't do that again. Obviously it would be great if we get one, but I don't think the absence 25 goals a season striker will necessarily stop us going up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAlim Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 We will have goals spread throughout the team imo, Paterson, Wilson and hopefully big Slim should cause danger from set pieces and the wingers will chip in with a few, We have three strikers as well so there is no pressure on one particular player to get the goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debut 4 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 It's a catch 22. There's teams the world over with a decent scorer but they get into the mind set that they can only rely on him. I prefer danger from various areas but if we did acquire or have already acquired that 20 goal man then it's vital the team is still built to be a threat from other areas. The problem is it becomes natural to rely on a prolific scorer and when he's injured or suspended , teams sub consciously think they will struggle and lose belief they can now win. In the past we had Robbo but you still had Sandy Clark and John Colquhoun who had goals in them and latterly Scott Crabbe came on the scene into that forward set up and brought his own goalscoring ability. It's about having general threat but if you have an outstanding finisher it's important not to become too reliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pans Jambo Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 A 30 goal a season striker is a nice to have but what if he gets injured? I would prefer 6 or 7 of the lads getting close to double figures and 1 or maybe 2 getting 14 or 15 a season. Much better to spread the love!!!
