KK'sTooth Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Slightly worrying that there has been no mention of any new players since Paulo arrived. I know he has been evaluating the current squad but he must see our central midfield chasm as everyone else does. Has Vlad simply told him to work with what he has got and wait until January before being allowed to bring in some new faces? I hear Maniche is on a free, as is Luis Boa Morte!

hawaii Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 We could do with a new spine to our team with a ball playing CB, continental No. 10 and striker being the ideal signings for me. I'd also welcome anyone in the squad who doesn't buy into the new training methods to be punted before the window closes. Let's face fact's here, we have a large squad but hand on heart can you really say that many of them can't be replaced by youngsters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.T.K Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Dont think anything will happen until the 31st, or maybe a few days after if players get releases ala Andy Webster. Sergy did say we were still looking a while ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Luffnan Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Paulo Sergio has a squad which should be good enough to finish third and challenge for cups. some of the tripe we have are poor excuses for footballers , a centre half and a couple of midfielders would be a start.

Only a Game Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Paulo Sergio has a squad which should be good enough to finish third and challenge for cups. Quite true of course, but the owner wants to challenge the Old firm/ win the league and we havent got anywhere close to a squad that can do that. Time for him to put up or shut up and let the manager do the best job he can without the added pressure of impossible targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert Le Clos Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 We need; back-up left back, dominant centre half, creative deep midfielder and a striker. A fit Rudi should be playing in behind the striker if we go one up top. We don't need a ball playing centre half if we can sign a deep lying midfielder who can take the ball off our central defenders and pick a pass. I'd much rather see a hard as nails ball winner brought in. A pacey striker who can run with the ball would give us a full complement of forward options if we ever get Kyle fit.

Gregory House M.D. Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 If all 3 are signed, I hope it's: Kello McGowan NS Zaliukas Grainger Driver NS NS Novikovas Sutton Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussAsia Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 If he does have 3 signings in mind i hope it is either 2 midfielders and a forward so we can play an attacking 4-5-1 or 2 forwards and a midfielder so we can play 4-4-2.. I think we have enough wingers that are good enough for the SPL in Driver, Templeton, Suso, Taouil and Novikovas.. I also think our back 4 is good enough for the SPL with Hammil, Zaliukas, Webster and Grainger.. there are also enough back ups for these players.. What we are really struggling with is scoring goals and creating chances from the middle of the park.. if we can bring in 3 players for those positions we will have a much better season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
