Unbelievable the number of people who want to punt Gordon, easily the best keeper in Scotland (which is where we play btw). He has the best goals against of any keeper in Britain, and saves at least one certain goal in most games, including last Sunday. Where on earth are we going to find anyone better? Everyone is entitled to their opinions but thank God BR and his team do not seem to share these bizarre views.
It’s madness that folk want rid of Gordon.
Hope we can eek out another three years from the big man. Asking a lot maybe but perhaps the time out of the game will benefit him in a way and he can maintain his level. There's not too many in the Premiership I'd look to before Gordon, you can understand why Chelsea wanted him.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
You'd need to be built like the Great Khali to chest some of his 'dinks' to the wing down to start the CA off half the time but.
Again, the forward players are to blame then. Need to bulk up.

Squad needs trimmed again and tbh quite a few are Rodgers signings that haven't worked out.

We have a ridiculous amount of midfielders. Of them I'd be punting Biton, Allan, Hayes and Christie(I like him but can't see it with Morgan signing and the emergence of Mikey Johnstone on top of Rogics inevitable replacement)

The defence, Tierney, apart, if we can get money I'd get rid of the lot and start a fresh. It aint going to happen but hey ho. I'd keep Lustig as back up to a better right back, Ralston may need another year to see if he can make the grade. I'm not including Hendry in the above, he looks no bad back up.

Strikers, it all depends on the possible sale of Dembele. Has his value increased, stagnated or gone down since last season? Turned it on against the huns recently but for a few months he's being doing ok, nothing special imo. Since coming back from his hamstring injury, he seems to have rested on his laurels. If Marseille/West Ham want him, I'd accept anything over 20m or 15m with a big sell on, knowing we will have funds to play with and make the squad better.

Goalkeeper, should be upgraded to someone who can fit the style Rodgers expects, Bain is decent enough back up if Gordon doesn't fancy playing 2nd fiddle.

Massive summer in between vital qualifiers, that will now be against tougher opposition. Letting the contract situation across the squad get to this stage is an error, that could and should have been avoided.

Edit - forgot to say, I'd sign Eddie in a heartbeat. BR says its less than the 7m, if so that's an easy decision.

I'd keep Ajer alongside Tierney in terms of defense. Then get two more experienced players for RB and CB.

Forgot about Ajer :ffs:

Aye obv keep him.

Reading it back I've used get rid the lot a bit easy. What I should have said was diddys like Boyata, Siminovic , Svietchenko and the invisible man can gtf. Lustig, might be a mad basturt, that I love but he is declining rapidly so he can possibly be added to the list, if we can get a 1st team starter in there.

All of this is highly unlikely, as it would mean about 12 bodies leaving and needing replaced with about 6 or 7 firs teamers.

If Boyata plays like he did sunday I'd be keeping him for sure!

I can see Marseille sniffing about Dembele this summer.

They are putting together a good squad, have money & are light of a top striker.

That or there will definitely be EPL interest. I’m pretty sure he’ll go & we’ll definitely get a bit more than Ł10m ha ha ha

If Armstrong & Tam won’t sign new deals, we have to sell.

Coming in, Eddie has to be made permanent ASAP. At the back (again) needs a lot of works.

We should sign a sweeper whose sole purpose is to play 10 yards behind Boyata at all times.
We should sign a CH whose sole purpose is to keep Boyata out of the side at all times.
Boyata is for the off, his contract is running down and he doesn't want to stay. I expect we'll bring back Erik and give him until the January transfer window to prove his worth or get a move away.

That leaves us with Hendry, Erik, Jozo, mystery Marvin and Ajer.

In my opinion we need

1. a quality Centre half to go straight into the side next to Ajer/Hendry.
2. a quality right back to share the berth this season and eventually replace Lustig.
3. French Eddy signed irrespective of whether we get the right offer for Dembele in the summer.
4. Scott Bain signed to understudy for Gordon

Icing on the cake

5. Paddy Roberts signed on a 3 year deal on deadline day

I'd sell

1. Sinclair
2. Bitton
3. Boyata
4. Gamboa
5. Armstrong (Purely because we can't get him to sign a longer deal)
6. Cifti (I'd take anything we can get)
7. Simunovic
8. Scott Allan
