He’s a talented player and dynamic, and will get forward. Hope it’s us but we don’t have Europe to lure him with. And?

I think we need to improve the CD x1, Midfield x2 As a minimum Realistically, For me 3 players that instantly improve our first 11, 2 that improve our first 18 and 2 that are younger/ gambles If it was a choice of your options, then 2/3 wow signings, the problem is that if they get injured and soapy /Haring break down then we'd replacing them with not even average players.

Personally I think this blanket scattergun signing strategy has to stop. It’s not been hugely successful and it’s wasted money probably in the millions. I’d like to see us push the boat out on 3 players. A very solid CD, a CM we can play through and a penalty box Striker. At some stage we have to start introducing young players. In at the deep end and let’s see what you’ve got. Like we did with Hickey. Just one at a time when we’ve got a decent laddie to cover an injury. We shouldn’t be covering our first team with old pros in their last couple of years, ravaged by injuries and just not hungry enough. We need a hungry team.

You get that with a mixture of kids and decent players who want to move up the rungs. Not sure we had a scatter gun approach, bad luck or bad scouting Tbh. There is no harm in taking in a few gambles from the lower league, low risk high reward. Most clubs will take in these sorts relative to your position. The signings like DV, Osh, Stockton aren't great but in general I don't think it's been scatter gun. Guys like Whelan and Damour should have been good at our level, especially Damour he'd just played over 30 games in the championship the season before. IMO we've not had a great balance, I think we have that now. Also, when we had Djoum, Haring, Naismith, Berra, Washington amongst others Injured it ****ed us at that time, we can't allow how we reacted to that to happen again. I hope throwing young players in at the deep end in any large quantity is not a strategy, we will need some strength in depth as well as improving the first 11 imo.

I fully stand by it. watch both their goals here: fully to blame for letting Edoaurd get close to Bobby, and the second an embarrassing attempt to swipe the ball away. In the final 2020, he jumps with his hands up in the air for their penalty. Stupidity from a player of his experience. If he kept his hands down we'd have won that game 2-1 in 90 minutes and no need for pens. I’m sorry but that last paragraph is nonsense. It’s a different game at only 1-0 & Berra doesn’t give a stupid penalty away. Nobody knows how the game would’ve played out. On Berra, I partly feel sorry for him as he was never the same after the injury & his performances (especially the 1st half of 2 seasons ago-before Stendel came in) & last season under Neilson were horrendous. Levein & Neilson are at fault too for picking him when he clearly wasn’t at it, & in particular Neilson should never have brought him back into the squad. But, Berra’s attitude has been a disgrace. He was making mistakes/scoring OG’s every other week but before Stendel rightly dropped him. To go greeting to the press about it, then go on to claim he’s one of the fittest at the club at that time was delusional. His comments at the end of last season too were pretty poor.

At 1-0 to them we would definitely have won the game. Going in at half time 1-0 and having knocked on the door a few times we would have been right up for it. I’m telling you.

Think teams in Europe will be re-calculating budgets depending on progress, weighing up whether to spend now to help them qualify or spend less now hoping to qualify with majority of what they have and then use increased budgets from qualification to bolster the side for actual competition. Teams not in Europe already know what their remit is though, so less activity from those sides - including us - seems a little strange.

LarrysRightFoot Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Do we have an interest in Polwarh or is it just another name KB has pulled from nowhere? IMO he’s a decent passer of the ball but he is very slow and ponderous at times. Put it this way he’s a similar player to a Irving but Irving has far more potential.
