Honestly, why do folk keep saying what McGinn would add?

Brendan would have signed him already if he thought it worthwhile.

Europe has to be better next season. We surely have to set our sights higher than McGinn.

From what I understand re. McGinn, PL is keen but BR isn't. So that's that.

I would be delighted if we signed Roberts, believe we would pay the fee required but I think he will want to test himself elsewhere next year. Hope I am wrong.

Moussa will also most likely be off this summer, so I imagine it will be striker, winger and right back as our priority signings.
As things stand I'd say there's a good chance we'll lose the following players:

1. Armstrong
2. Roberts
3. Bitton
4. Jozo
5. De Vries
6. Bain
7. Gamboa
8. Lustig
9. Boyata
10. Dembele
11. Edouard
12. Rogic

We will need a major overhaul in the summer even if the expected outgoings are even half this amount.
You'd need 8 good additions then. The squad would be ripped apart if that all happened, which I doubt.

The chat about McGinn is irritating he is no where near the level ntcham is currently and he’s only going to get better.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
Yeah I'm sure City will let him go. It depends on whether we will pay the fee required and whether he wants to play here. I would think he will have a good few offers.
He will have offers but the rumour was he wanted to sign permanently last summer, City wouldn't allow it, so obviously he saw himself here for a couple of more seasons at least. Hasn't been able to get going this season so hopefully that and other factors work in our favour.
Wasn't the rumour the exact opposite? :lol:

We'll have Ntcham for one more season at most. We need to think about getting some players in for the long haul.

Roberts did want to sign last Summer the reason it dragged on so long was City didn't want to let him go permanently and eventually both clubs came to a laon agreement !

I have a feeling he will sign this year as City will be glad to get a fee for him and the player is happy to come here .

He knows he will get a big move down south if he has a good season whereas now what great offers would he get?

Come on Paddy you know it makes sense!!

As ever, it all depends on what happens with the clutch of players with a year left, and clearly an asset like Dembele with two.

To me, Lustig is being shown loyalty, and with a year left he'll get to honour that, but could/should have a more limited role next year. I think we are nursing him through games to keep him in contention for the World Cup, because performances don't really merit him starting anymore.

Boyata, Rogic and Armstrong either sign extensions or they leave. I don't think we can forego the cash they would bring us.

The loanees, other than Musonda, are probably more likely to leave, but it is a toss of a coin.

A twenty eight man squad with a further eight on loan suggests the squad badly needs trimmed, but I don't expect us to let anyone go cheap.

We are suppose to be interest in Ryan manning of QPR

Also make of this what you will but my mate does a bit of work with Bolton up and down and after Musanda from Chelsea on loan signed a player Called Reece Burke has being linked he is a centre half on loan at Bolton from west ham !He is suppose to have the same agents working for him!

Really hope the chat about Rogic being fed up isn't true. The other pair can get tae if they like.

You'd think Tom would have signed up by now... :twitch:

12. Rogic

We will need a major overhaul in the summer even if the expected outgoings are even half this amount.
I think Boyata will stay. He seems to be the managers first pick and i think Rodgers will be happy developing Ajer and Hendry and having Boyata, Lustig and maybe compper in reserve.

I agree that Armstrong will go this summer. His one year deal last summer was an indicator of this. Rogic i hope stays, but he might be looking to see what offers he gets after the world cup.

Roberts and Odsonne . Sign both if we can depending on fees.

Sell Simunovic, Gamboa, Sviatchenko and I think Dembele will want a big move.

I also think we should be loaning out some of our younger players, Kouassi, Johnstone even Ralston again and maybe even Morgan.

So i think we need 4 possibly 5 players in the summer. This is a big overhaul and replacing some of these players (Dembele, Rogic and Armstrong) will be tough. We also need a longer term replacement for Lustig and a replacement for Roberts if doesn't sign.

A big summer ahead.

I would bring Graeme Murty in to help out with the youths. Seems to have a good reputation at that level. Maybe even bring in Kenny Miller for 10 IAR? Judging by the tweet by Celtic this week, there's still affection for the player at the club... :clap: :chuffed:

That'd be a great acquisition. At 28 we'd get a good few years out of him too.

Has there been anymore news on Hernandez?


EDIT: Just seen on Twitter that Villareal are interested in Moussa (£15m :lol: :nono: )

Feels like we will have a lot of work to do in the Summer. We could lose Roberts, Rogic, Dembele, Armstrong, Edouard, & Simunovic with no clear replacements for any of them (though maybe christie in for armstrong). And we're relying a lot on Brown, Lustig and Tierney - a long term injury at any of those positions and we are in serious trouble.

Even if they all left we will have two teams that would walk the league... We would need to replace the ones that left, but rather 2-3 than player for player, no need to bring in 6 new players to add up numbers

---------Gordon------------
Lustig-Hendry-Ajer-Tierney
Brown-Ntcham-McGregor
Forrest-----------Sinclair
--------Griffiths----------

----------de Vries
Ralston-Boyata-Sviatchenko-Hayes
Kouassie-Bitton
Morgan-Christie-Musonda
----------Aitchison


Reserves...

Hazard
Gamboa-X-X-Miller
Henderson-Regan Hendry-Hill
Johnston---------------Benyu-

Different player to Ntcham so I wouldn't compare the two. He's more like Brown. Is McGinn a better player now than Brown was at the same age?
