Agentjambo Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 What positions do we need to add to during the summer window? I think 2 wingers 2 midfielders 1 pacey striker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton Jambo Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) For me: A new Goalkeeper Cover at right back A new Left back (cover or first choice depending on fitness issues of AW/BG) One premier league established winger (rationale being that between Wighton/Mulraney/Morison/McDonald) we have enough already to cover the other wide berth. One box to box midfielder One forward (to replace McLean and assuming Naismith re-signs) Edited April 1, 2019 by Brighton Jambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Assuming everyone in the current first team stays we only need a winger and creative midfielder. Maybe a striker and left back depending on injuries and decisions around garrucio, mclean and vanacek in summer. It’s great we can focus on filling 2 or 3 key positions now instead of another squad overhaul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few younger players coming through, Cochrane, Irving, Smith Forward - McLean has on year left, need a poacher, ?

tartofmidlothian Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 The other question is, who do we think will go? I was convinced Djoum would be off, but there might be a chance he'll hang around. Lee and Maclean are used less and less, and Shaugnessey and Hughes will be away. Sammon too, which is a free wage. GK Happy with what we have, but if Gordon became available I'd take him in a minute and let Doyle go. CB If Halkett is replacing Hughes and Shaugnessey, we have a dream team with him, Souttar, Berra and Dikamona. LB and RB Smith and Garuccio as first choice on either side with Godinho and Brandon as back up is okay. We aren't desperate for new blood but if the right signings come along we should go for it. CM We desperately need one more established quality player, or two if Djoum goes. Lee and Bozanic are squad players. Wingers I like Mulraney a lot, but Morrison seems to have stalled. Wighton shows promise though. One more winger needed, at least. Forwards Uche, Naismith and Clare are all well worth their place, but Keena, Vanecek and Wighton are untried. Will Maclean be here? At least one striker needed. If Naismith, Haring and Djoum sign contracts the minimum we need are a proven striker, midfielder and winger, but we could do with two of each if anyone leaves or any players worth a punt come up, and the same with the full-back positions. We only need a new goalie if it's Gordon or someone of equal quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramrod Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Levein has stated he can only see 3or 4 coming in this summer . Another striker for Sammon a box to box mid and possibly a wing back would be my guess and perhaps a keeper if a decent one becomes available and a deal can be done ( Craig Gordon ) maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will probably also need a new first choice LB if Garrucio is out for 10mths depending on how White shows up in training etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruyff Turn Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Depends on who we lose. Quality Goalkeeper Quality Left Back Quality Winger 2 Quality midfielders Quality Striker thats minimum. Keep Djoum and Naisy. Get Haring signed up. Punt Doyle, Shaughnessy, Lee, Bozanic, Edwards, Martin, Sammon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudi must stay Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Pace and confidence in attack. Basically players that always want the ball. Wouldn't mind Jamie Walker back and yes I would take Cadden.

Debut 4 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Cut out the ‘project’ signings of players who could hardly establish themselves at the club we got them from.

Uncle Buck Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I think we’re only covered at centre back and right back. I’d like to see a goalkeeper, left back, box to box midfielder (or a Djoum replacement), couple of wingers and a goal scoring centre forward.

First time in a while we are looking and keeping the core of a decent squad and building on it. Even have a few players that will start to attract interest down South. Can see Uche, Souttar, Haring, Clare and potentially Mulraney getting monitored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manny1874 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I'm not sure how much room there is going to be in the budget, with only a few players moving on, so I'd rather we just went for a couple of quality players. A winger/wide midfield player would be my top priority, and perhaps a left back also. This is assuming we don't need to replace Djoum and Naismith, but if they go we would need to add replacements for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Souttar had played 63 first team matches with Utd. Was highly rated and sought after , Sunderland had a bid knocked back. Hardly a project. Sow had been blighted with injuries and had barely played any football. He has barely played any football since and we sold him for over £1m. Souttar wasn't getting a game for Dundee Utd and was roundly criticised on here after a few dodgy appearances. He was very much a project as can be seen from the massive improvement from his first appearance for us to now being a Scotland International being touted as an English Championship or even EPL player. Wighton has had a very comparable career at Dundee and could equally be as successful at Hearts. We will always need a variety of 'types' of signing, from the established Berra, Naismith or Lafferty 'marque' type through to the Sow, Souttar, Wighton development or 'punt' type. It would be overly cautious not to take the occasional gamble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming you mean Jamie MacDonald. We've got better than him in Zlamal already, and if we really want to be contenders, we need better than Zlamal! Jamie MacDonald's level is backup for the likes of Killie (which he is just now) or first choice somewhere like St Mirren or Dundee, or perhaps lower than that. He's not good enough for us.

Juho_Makela_Goal_Machine Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Upgrades needed in goals, LB (could be White if he's decent), battling midfielder, box to box player (could be bryson), quality wide player (maybe 2), poacher style striker (could be Keena if given a chance, the boy has bags of potential). Sign up Naisy and if Djoum stays we might be onto something. Not an overhaul needed this summer but we are really lacking of quality in key areas. Add a bit of that in the summer and we'll be fine, I still trust Levein for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
