TheBigO Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 3 minutes ago, Dandyman79 said: It's been a terrific window, i think with the addition of the new keeper on loan and whelan (when he signs) to strengthen the gap between defence and attack we will improve massively Absolutely. Well, if we use Whelan properly. Play 433 or similar, with him in there to give us shape and protection, Damour to give us energy and another with maybe some creativity, so Walker, Clare, Cochrane or Irving and we look very good. Any from Naismith, Washington, Uche, Keena, Mulraney ahead of them all absolute nuisances in their own ways. I just can't see past that being a great set up. If we play 3 at the back or 442, it won't work. That's been proven already. Whelan doesn't allow us to now play those systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigO Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 2 minutes ago, Fort Vallance said: Have to admit I was a bit disappointed when Levein suggested he would only bring in 3 or possibly 4. I thought we lacked quality in quite a few places so looking more positive now. I expect he'll get pelters for saying one thing and doing another but it's more down to availability. I wasn't too worried with 3 or 4 signings as I honestly didn't think our squad was so bad (with everyone fit!). But what we've actually done in the market is superb, so all the better. We'' hopefully all forget about Haring and Souttar and when they both come back, it'll be like even more signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMFC86 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Very good transfer window. Pretty much every problem position resolved with a player of decent pedigree.

Captain Sausage Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 If the city boy joins too, I genuinely think we have the players for 3rd place. It’s squarely down to Levein to make it happen. No more excuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's home to Montherwell mid Sept and he'll have had the int break to work with squad. Excuses run out there I'd suggest. I can handle that long for a final judgement one way or the other. The players need to get their fighting heads on, with a bit of fire in their bellies I suggest. We all know some players need a rocket up their a**, and some require an arm around the shoulder. We need to find a solution quickly though, before it gets to the point of no return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We definitely do, but Levein is nowhere near the man to lead us forward, even with a budget the size of Celtic's, he'd somehow finish mid table!

bairdy Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 18 hours ago, Jodami said: Team crying out for creativity, pace and goals - we are signing a 35 year old defensive holding midfielder. Not suggesting he has not been a very fine player, played at the highest level and is a model professional, just wonder if it's what we really need. Couldn't agree more. Not saying Whelan wouldn't be a good signing, but we really do need a creative midfielder.Have done for a good while now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
