Jan - Centre Half plus maybe one more. Presuming we'll have ca 」5m of van Dijk money banked on top of champions league revenue.

Summer - Expect Armstrong, Dembele and Erik to be off. Wouldn't replace Armstrong, we have enough midfielders. So new striker, goalie, rb. In that order for me. Think we'll sign Paddy on a permo. Would punt Hayes as I don't think he offers us anything, but doubt that will happen.

yes we are.
He sounds ideal. Never seen him play though. Is he any good?
We've not had near enough Germans in the team. Best footballing nation on the planet and we've only had Andy Thom & Hinkel. :nono:

I can't imagine the manager is happy with what he has from the team we had last season we have only added 1 player that con compete for a place.Some of the players look out on there feet I'm sure the manager can see this you can tell by his recent interviews he isn't entirely happy with the squad just now.

If that's true, then we won't go much further in Europa League & are jeopardising CL participation next season.

I'd be very, very worried if he wasn't looking for much.

Goalkeeper needed. Gordon just not good enough.

Two centre backs needed. Jozo and Boyata looking worse with each passing game.

Right back needed. Lustig has looked done in recently. I don't think he's done but needs a competent understudy for periods like this when there's loads of games in a short space of time. Not sure if Ralstons ready ir not.

Left back needed. No back up for KT who is also looking tired.

Creative mid needed. When Rogic is out of the team/ off form we have no spark. Our strikers suffer as a result.

We need our strikers to regain form too. And to clear out those who aren't good enough.

This won't happen over one transfer window. I think the goalkeeper/central defence positions need to be prioritised before anything else.

we need a keeper, a right back, two centre halves, cover at left-back, a defensive midfielder, a creative central midfielder and two wingers (one for each side)

if we sell dembele, we'll need a striker too

i look forward to us signing a wee guy from st mirren
Ridiculous comment :cuckoo:

We need at least 2 straight in to the first 11 players

One of them must be a CB - two class CB痴 is fine for me too

But one at least - live a new lightening quick and good at defending RB

A number 10 too but that might be a January pie in the sky one

Can I suggest no more projects. Ajer, Kouassi and Edouard is enough.

Having failed miserably to add any quality in the last 2 windows means we have actually regressed & still have everything to do. Incredibly not one penny has been spent on our defence in this time & it shows. Doubt we値l be able sort this out with a measly 」1m,although we tried to do so by spending even less than that for a cb in the last window.KT is the only defender we have who is good enough. European performances have also shown that our midfield is not as strong as we previously believed despite having a lot of players for this department.
When BR came in he spoke of building great things & how last season was only the start. I genuinely believed that but two wasted windows have seen us go backwards. Let痴 hope the next two windows see a lot more ambition shown.

Well we need to try and offload those players and free up space in the squad. Boyata has not re-signed and we could do better, Erik looks for the off, so we will already be down two centre halves come the summer. We are overloaded with No 10's McGregor, Armstrong, Rogic and also Christie when he comes back. The squad is still lopsided.

Brendan's style of play has given us huge success so far.
He got us playing possession football and moving the ball quickly.

In his first season we faced very little competition as teams were reluctant to be drawn into pressing us too tightly, we got more time to move the ball and the whole team benefited.
Now they have sussed that if we are closed down quickly and in packs, some of our players dont have a good first touch or we cant make the angle for a pass.
I noticed we pressed much better against Thistle, something that has been lacking recently.

We have either got to get much better at dealing with this, start buying players who can or alter our strategy.
