We already have Hughes, Berra, Cowie, Naismith and Lafferty. Ok I know two of those could be on their way however I think we need a few more mid twenties players.

Absence of teenagers Ok teenagers however Milinkovic is a few weeks away from 24 years old, hardly a youngster. Souttar has played nearly 130 first team games, Godinho is a full international. Randall has played for Liverpool. Can’t really compare them to Cochrane, McDonald, Currie et al. In football experience terms they are very much youngsters, as well as teenagers. Think you got my point though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we could a couple of these into the midfield area I reckon we are ready to improve away from home and therefore become competiive Agree. Our squad is very short of good solid pro’s in the 24-28 age category. Need to find current versions of Cameron and Hartley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is also a coincidence that neither Mitchell nor Adao was playing either. In fact these two were also not playing when we beat Celtic 4-0. I don't know what all of this tells us, if anything.

Which is what I said in my original post when I brought it up that he is out of contract. But tbf there’s every chance he’ll get an extension either way relegation or not, or sign for one of the promoted clubs eg. Wolves I think would suit him very well with the football they play, they’ll want to get a few EPL experienced players The model Wolves are using at the moment, they will be aiming a lot higher that McArthur should they be promoted.

The fee from Burton was rumoured to be 330k but who knows what Levein thought he could get him for or how much of that was in addons? Who knows what player swap they might have taken?

Jamboscanbevicius Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Not sure about Scott Fraser... not played a lot, and mostly in a team that was relegated and then in championship before missing most of the season with a broken foot! I hope he develops into the player many seem to believe he can be. Certainly we need some fresh thinking in the middle of the park and I doubt he will be on huge money.
