The Internet Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I don't really watch enough Scottish football to form a real opinion but no one apart from Boyce really stands out to me. What's Greg Kiltie's situation like just now? He been injured this season? Could be a Nicholson replacement. From the lower leagues Sibbald feels a bit 'meh' to me still. Mallan and Lewis Morgan seem quite good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huguenot Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Cerny also has alot of poor games in a season. I was surprised how well he played yesterday, but he doesn't usually have games like that He should have done better with our penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudi must stay Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 He should have done better with our penalty. He even went the right way for the penalty. Some incredible saves, but I've heard his shot stopping is at times a weakness and earlier on in the season he should have stopped Tony Watt's goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazzas right boot Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Boyce, Shalke. GMS, Christie Mallan, Sibald Jackand McGnn would improve us O Hallaron would give us pace. Need to spend some money here, but all of a good age, most proven at SPL level and give us width, drive pace and goals from midfield upward. Basically what we are missing. Bin Sammon, Reilly, Sowah, Tziolos, Avelontis, , Chouley, King, Sam and Paterson, Rherras will all leave. I'd punt Novak and sell Djoum if possible ( only if being replaced with guys from above) Hopefully Osh can be punted as well. Give walker a new contract sign the above plus another centre half and full back, jobs a good one. If a keeper came up I'd go for that as well.

JamboAl Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 He should have done better with our penalty. Not convinced about Cesny but hey ho. Maybe with Cathro's connections we can get a loan keeper from Newcastle who have 5 decent custodians.

JamboAl Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Wasn't at the game yesterday as overseas on holiday. Friend used my ST so unfortunately I didn't release my ticket and therefore deprived club of much needed revenue I've always thought Lawless was a clever little player. Reminds me of Ksanevicous. Doolan is a clever striker and goalscorer at this level. Neither probably long term solutions but both probably are better shorter term solutions than we've managed to assemble. I'm sure a long list of Dutch send division players is being examined via YouTube by powers that be So you want a player with possible gambling issues and one who would cost us money as short term solutions.

Even 4/ 5 of that list would along with Souttar, Hughes, Kitchen and Goncalves would give us a very healthy spine and balance. nb, if we got Jack he'd probably replace Kitchen I left out Hamilton as still not sure he's a no1 for a club with aspirations of third or even 2nd.

jamboinglasgow Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 One thing I think it is important, is that the management team know what style and way they expect to play next season and then sign the players to fit that, rather than sign players first then try to somehow fit the players into place. Too often we sign a player just because he is doing well in Scottish football only football only to find he does not fit the way we play. Classic example of this is Sutton.

Cathro has been very clear in the style he is attempting to implement but for whatever reason, it's just not quite clicked yet. I think most of what you read on here is made up, the character assasssination of Levein, Cathro and Budge is just ridiculous and comes about because nobody has a clue what is going on behind the scenes.

SaughtonJambo Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Would people welcome kyle lafferty? Personally think he'd score for fun up here, maybe Austin could get him in. I'd keep Hamilton as number one and bring in Scott Bain have good completion between the two For me Whittaker at RB with smith as cover Berra I was told in January had signed a deal with us not sure if thats happening now Soutter Hughes and nowak at CB if not berra josh meekings Lb Russell from Morton or leahy from Falkirk Watkins/Christie rm Sibbald mallan djoum and I'd try bring in Barton from Patrick Lm gms or ryan Gauld on loan hopefully Cathro could persuade them Up front lafferty Boyce isma and I'd keep johnsen a lot of people forgetting the promise he was shown before Cathro took over Walker as an attacking mid would keep Buaben cowie as well. Would like to keep sam but doesn't look likely Offload sammon, osh, both Greek boys go, McGhee, Paterson, king. Sell kitchen back to DC. Can't see rherras staying. Get rid of sowah and not fussed for Struna.

eduardo.j Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Wouldn't be surprised if we are linked with a Spanish striker called Pedro Conde, he's 4th top scorer in Greece with 13 goals, his current club are 9th in the table. Obviously his fee/length of contract would be the hurdle. The big question is are we going to gamble or go with players proven at our level?

A_A wehatethehibs Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Maybe already mentioned. Vukic worked with Cathro and is out of contract. Thought about this one but it's a concern that Stuart McCall signed him for Bradford for the first half of this season, he only played 10 games and didn't seemingly? do enough to merit an extension... Maybe Newcastle just mistakenly thought he might get them a transfer fee so they opted not to send him on loan for the last 6 months of his contract.

He does bring a lot of aggression and if that can be managed he could be quite a good player. I don't really see him as the out and out striker we need though.

E3OBE Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 We need to up the overall pace of the team, we seriously lack pace all over the pitch. We definitely need a minimum of 2 wingers... Not only to improve the way we play but to give us an out-ball and start putting opposition on the back foot. Also a new defence and a decent striker wouldn't go a miss! I would suggest the development fee's we receive for Paterson & Nicholson would be well spent (with a bit left over) getting Sibbald at Falkirk & Mallan at St Mirren. Two players well worth a shot at the SPL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
