As long as Lafferty stays wouldn't be unhappy, reckon Burns can do a turn as cover at left wing back if we don't get Demi, got a lot of young attacking talent as well out wide and it doesn't look like we'll be using wingers much anyway, still think we lack a holding player but maybe the midfielders we have will improve in this area as they gel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS86 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 4 hours ago, Clerry Jambo said: Could Driver do a job, experienced wide player, really don't know what sort of form he is in.... Barry Anderson @BarryAnderson_ 22m22 minutes ago Into August and Andy Driver (30) is still without a club after leaving De Graafschap. Trained with St Johnstone but no deal. Decent free agent for someone in Scotland or England needing a left midfielder. The fact he was used at left back as well would suggest he has worked on a part of his game that would make him an even better fit for our current shape providing we stick with wingbacks. Maybe at the stage in his career where he wants to be assured playing time though and not sure we'd be able to guarantee that. Garuccio certainly looks a find so far but needs cover and not convinced with Mulraney yet (early days still od course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he is Remember listening to the old Sportsound Through the Window programme years ago, praying we would move for him. Now we have him and bits to work off him, I think he is going to be player of the year material for the entire league. If we add 2 more players, we are going to give this a go and we seem to be sailing pleasantly under the radar for the moment. I agree with you about Naismith. I think this season we will see what type of player he really is. What a player to have at our club. We are in for a treat this season. Out with Celtic, we have the bestlayer in this league. Can't wait to see him in action this season. I'll be surprised if he isn't a hero for us. Credit to the board and levein for pulling this off. A privelage to have a player of that quality to watch.

He has the benefit of having played for us last season and now has done a fair bit on pre-season with us as well so his fitness levels are now back and you can see he still has a good engine on him. Against Inverness he was still running as hard chasing everything at the end of the game as he was at the start. I also love the way he is quick to speak to the other players and offer advice which is great especially for the younger ones. Hopefully he can stay injury free as he will be a big player for us this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a bit black and white...... If we are in a position to replace 7,8,9 or 10 players with better then I’m all for it. This isn’t like the old days where players were at clubs for 5 or 6 years.

All of that seems too good to be true and maybe even a waste. A winger, a LB, and a DM would be sufficient really. I don't think we need yet another RB (even if L.Smith leaves), I'd rather have 2 DMs. But I was overly impressed with Brandon and Godinho last season. Two wingers would be nice, but if we signed two wingers as good as Milinkovic and two wing-backs as good as Mitchell - I'd imagine we'd have two wingers as good as Milinkovic sitting on the bench most of the time. If we sign a good DM and Mitchell I'll be happy clapping enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L.Smith is on his way as he’s not been quoted in the first team as yet. I’d like to see a decent loanee RB in for minimum 6 months. And Morrison apart we have no other proper wingers for either side of the park. We need to build a squad for several styles of play and situations.

Cruyff Turn Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I'd like to see us put in an offer for Chris Cadden. only a year left on his contract, a natural right wing back and a future Scotland International. He'd strengthen us. Still cost a lot but worth it imo. Get Demi Mitchell back. Defensive midfielder is probably needed to allow Haring to move back to defence, or bring in another Centerhalf and keep Haring there. Bring Vanecek in now if Lafferty goes. 3 players that would complete us in playing one certain way but maybe need another winger just in case we change it.
