Definitely agree that players will go. Midfielders need moved on to make space for the likes of Irving, Cochrane and Macdonald playing - happily see Lee, Bozanic and Edwards go. If the midfield actually plays football then there is definitely no place for Edwards. Wighton deserves a longer chance, Maclean is good cover and we need to keep a right back as cover.

McLean did not sign to play every game he was only ever meant to be a squad player. Edwards worked his backside off to get back in so not sure why you are binning him. Lee and Bozanic had up and down seasons but both have time on their contracts and I'd think you give them another season instead of ripping up the squad and starting again. Wighton we have paid a decent fee for so I'm not sure we are again ripping up his contract. The squad needs continuity some are starters some are squad players but the thought that we should punt massive portions of our squad each summer is silly.

To be honest, we didn't have much to replace, as long as the new striker can 271 minutes, it will be a great signing. this Mandron guy, despite it not being an exciting signing, would be a good replacement for Vancek and a good option from the bench. With a fully fit team, uche and Naismith would be my first choice strikers. BUt I know what you mean - I want to see signings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent cover, no superstar, but cover was all he was meant to be. JRG, is an awkward type. Definitely ability in there, but seems to be trying to come to terms with how to use his body. Couldn't do right at Leeds, probably trying too hard. Definitely a player that would appeal to Levein, given his success with Fuller and De Vries.

Reading the interview with Colquhoun in the EEN (split over two articles), he seems to suggest Levein is going to be far more reliant on young players this coming season. It’s just annoying that we are having to waste time replacing Vanecek in the first place to be honest. A couple of very good signings in midfield and attack, and if nobody else moves on, then I will be pretty happy. A lot would rest on some young shoulders though, in that scenario.

A lot would rest on some young shoulders though, in that scenario. agreed I genuinely do believe and stand by the thought, that we have the makings of a good squad , a good core (with Naismith signing hopefully!) where we need one or two quality additions - the boy Grot from Leeds looks like the type of winger we need, if Djoum stays we wouldn't need to run about looking for midfielders of the same level - but could still do with one more decent midfielder. We have some of the best young players breaking through, so I wouldn't be against using some, but not all at once. If McDonald comes back I'd like to see him utilised more, Cochrane to get more game time and hickey in a few games as well. Clare should be better as well, and Mulraney will be more confident to carry on as he finished. I'm feeling quietly excited about how the squad is going to develop this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levein clearly isn't shy to throw a youngster in out from the cold, so I don't see why this should be any different. It's why I'm sceptical of this loan winger from Leeds, who from what I have read is already quite raw. Surely we can recruit and develop a better winger of our own if he's going to be third choice for now anyway. Is our scouting really that peripherally focused that we can't scout another player in all of Europe that fits this bill, rather than taking all the risk with another winger with less reward than if we found a similar quality player on an 18 month deal?

Balance isn't it, between supressing the talent in the ranks, whilst surrounding it with the quality that will allow it to flourish. Personally I like players who have played international football, even if it is for Northern Ireland, they seem to be able to handle pressure situations far better. Our cup final team had nearly all played international football at some level or cup finals, hence why the occasion did not phase them. Edwards, Haring and Clare I think the only 3 who had neither represented their country or previously played a final. 3 or 4 more players who have that experience would be very useful.

Rangers are hovering anything that moves that is worthwhile at home They were all in the club come January. I'm pretty sure Hamilton was sent back, Petkov wasn't anyway and Baur was on loan the season before. I'm not saying he had an easy job of it considering how this half of the season turned out, but it feels like these players missed out on some valuable minutes and probably done the same job. Peter Haring definitely feels like an exception rather than the rule. Aside from him and Vanecek, (Amankwaa too?) most of recruitment has been in the UK. I'm obviously not saying it's an easy task, and we're definitely harder on signings than most other clubs are, but it doesn't feel like we're learning our lessons. We hired 4 to 5 scouts to help with recruitment for last season and our recruiting style doesn't still feel like it's changed much at all in the last 3 seasons.

For someone being quite raw, he still managed 6 goals and a good assist playing for one of the lower dutch teams in the top flight If we can get him and hammer into him to do the basics of a winger, i.e. run down the wing, get crosses in etc, we could have a gem on our hands If Milinkovic was to come back though, I'd be taking him over JRG, just as he knows the Scottish game, and was a decent player for us.
