CL spent more time ‘managing’ Laff off the park during the week than he did with the rest of the squad. Laff is very high maintenance.

Only player that they had that gave me cause for concern was Bartley, his physicality was a big asset that I don't believe they've replaced. Our issue seems to be putting the ball in the net. It seems like we're getting a lot of the ball, getting shots off, creating chances but just failing to actually put the ball in the net. Hopefully Walker can recapture his form because he's good for 8-10 goals a season, Naismith in a full season could easily hit 15+, Washington should do well at this level too. Obviously our CBs are capable of chipping in with goals too. A Milinkovic type would be a welcome addition tbh,. alongside better cover for Haring. Adao would be an easy solve IMO accept though we might want to look elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naismith and Walker are so far ahead of Mallan and Allan as attacking midfielders it’s not even worth discussing. Haring is better than their DM options and Clare, Irving and Cochrane are better than their youngsters if they even have any young midfielders coming through.

DS98 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Only thing Mallan has is long range shooting. He seems to hit the target every time. Envious of that.

Really don't feel Mallan offers a lot tbh. Good set pieces, decent shot... not much else. I do agree though that the fact there is an argument he is an improvement should highlight how lacklustre our midfield actually is. Haring - Good Lee - Slow, one paced doesn't offer enough Boz - Like his attitude but not of the required standard Edwards - Good engine, keen to see more, although cautious he might not be good enough. Those are our senior midfielders. Guys I'd be looking at would be Darren Fletcher (I know he's meant to be retiring, but I wonder if one last season might be tempting, Scottish football might be at a level where he could really shine - Bringing a guy like him in would be so good for Cochrane, Irvine and Smith in particular). Adam, Mulumbu, Dorrans, Glenn Whelan? I actually think there is a strong argument about bringing ex-stoke guys in, Whelan, Adam, Fletcher are all solid trainers and hard workers. Being able to pass on those sort of habits to the youngsters could be massive. I know we're talking 35,35,33, but I think it would help add another layer of professionalism. (I do accept there is a need to bring guys in who can do the business on the park, so perhaps Adam, Mulumbu, Dorrans, age wise are more in line with what we need) Lee Cattermole is only 31, so if he fancied it even for a season he could offer a lot. Physical player that would probably thrive up here. Could help put himself in the shop window for a move back down south. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
