Agree on centre mid. We’ve got Mulraney as the speedy winger and I’d like to see Hickey cover left back until Garuccio is back. Hickey looks a great prospect, we can only keep these lads if they play. If not they can get much more money being on the bench or the reserves down south.

Mulumbu would probably be the best choice. Gauld could net us a tidy fee if we could get his confidence back. Dorrans, like Naisy has played at a high level for a long time. Recognise if we could get any of them budget wise it would be one at a push. Any of them would please me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bistokid Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Centre Midfielder or two. I think along with Djoum and Lee we will see Bozanic or Edwards move on also.

He has said that but I hope to **** he is kidding especially if Lee and Djoum leave. We would seriously short in the midfield area. Would like to see a wide man and another striker come in as well. A different type of striker as well, maybe more in the poacher type of goalscorer mould. Easier said than done but who knows what is going behind the scenes.

Cruyff Turn Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I don’t think we need to replace both Lee and Djoum. Edwards worked his way into the squad, Smith, Irving and Cochrane are coming through from the youth team, we still have Bozanic and big Pete, so imo we only need 1 midfielder who should be of absolutely top notch quality, the best we can get. That would mean we had 7 players in that position and the most we will play at any one time is 3 central mids, we don’t need 8. It’s important that the Academy lads get a chance. 1 winger - If we could bring back Skinny that would be quality but we could maybe do even better. If Souttar goes, he will need replaced and we should again, re-invest some of the cash in that position and sign a great replacement if it comes to that. Then i’d say we’ve got a very good squad.

HillmanHearts Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 If Naisy signs and if Whyte gets back to full fitness then I'd say we only need another one new player : A quality central midfielder.

His time is coming - no doubt about that. I don't rate Doyle, and Bobby makes too many basic errors of judgement for me. If Craig Gordon was available we should go for him. Stone would benefit greatly from him as a mentor. From what I have heard Stone has great ability and may well go onto be a huge star for us.

Brighton Jambo Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Some comments on here baffle me, its like people of the football manager generation think that’s how the game really works. People saying we need another striker, we have just signed Washington, will sign Naismith, have McLean, Uche, Keena and Wighton. How much money do people think we have it’s insane to think we need a seventh striker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5jambo1 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I agree about a top quality centre mid but I think the problem is we already have far too many options in there which is why Levein is saying only if lee and djoum both leave. Assuming djoum and Lee both leave In centre mid we still have Haring, Bozanic, Edwards, cochrane, Smith, Irving, Clare (by what he said last night) and Naismith could play there also. That’s potentially 7/8 players without lee and djoum! Some good options and potential in there but if we are being serious about finishing third we need another ‘first name on the teamsheet’ player. I think that could also depend on 1 or 2 young guys going out on loan or bozanic leaving as well? You could argue about wingers/strikers as well. First choice I think we are fine but lose a couple theough injuries etc then are your wightons/Morrison’s etc capable stand ins? Based on last season you would say no but we can’t have 30 signed players with wages to go. We do need some Dikamona types who are happy to fight for their place and accept a place on the bench and also hungry youngsters trying to break into the team and establish themselves in the team. Got to have the right balance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmfc_liam06 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Required for what? To compete with Aberdeen - a CM To compete with Rangers - a GK, a LB, a CM, a WR, a ST To compete with Celtic - an entire line up bar Naismith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Moysey Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Being realistic the youngsters are not going to be playing regularly. CL's comments in the Djoum/Lee leaving piece hints at the end -the young guys are real prospects over the next 2-3 years, that tends to suggest they will get brought through gradually. Don't think that's a bad thing. A quality CM is needed, someone who can take the ball from the defence and create play, ideally a player with experience who could help develop the young talent. This type of player may stop the constant slow passing, going nowhere, along the back we see currently. We need to be patient with the youngsters to reap the rewards in the medium to long term. Kickback....patience.......mmmmmm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Tolbooth Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I'd be more than happy with a Mulumbu or Dorrans type signing, it's what we're crying out for, get one of them in and I think we're ready to go, as long as Walker starts to repay the fans back for his tantrums before he left, him on one side and Jake on the other could torture a few defences if they get their acts together quickly, Clare in the centre with Haring pulling the strings, Washington and Naisy running at defences, and big Uche bullying them senseless, will we even need a goalkeeper next season??

Haring to win the ball back and pass to Adam(s). We only need a maximum of 2. Passer and poacher. I am now of the opinion, we are not that worried about Djoum returning, happy to shed Lee, once this is cleared up, we will use the wedge on a technician in the middle of the pitch. Someone to put the ball in the net regularly. Washington might be that man, but he also might be used for width. Naismith could also play as the main striker but less likely.

Cruyff Turn Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Mulumbu can pass forward, I know he’s a ball winner type but he’s a good footballer.
