JamboAl Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 1 hour ago, Absolute Scenes said: 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 This Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Elwood P Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 2 hours ago, jambo-rocker said: If we're looking at it from a cover perspective, then why are we signing a player on loan for cover when Baur, Petkov or Hamilton could easily, between the three of them, cover as 4th choice CB? 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? Dikamona is our 4th choice centre back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose it also depends on the Djoum situation No-one knows about White or whether he’ll be a good addition to the squad. How long’s he been out for now? Two years? The reviews from Leeds fans is not a glowing endorsement for Grot. I’m on the fence for that one. Either way, we absolutely need better width in the team. Morrison and Mulraney aren’t enough to get us to where we wanna be. And if the management team once again fail to address the need for a creative midfielder, then serious questions need to be asked to their competence in their roles.

Gav M Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 So, Grot, Aneke and Ariyibi. If that's all true then we are definitely looking at big, strong, athletic types with a bit of football ability as well! Add in guys like walker and Milinkovic then that's a good mix to be bringing in, especially when you have guys like haring, naismith, Uch and even McLean already here.
