First choice right-back

Experienced central defender

2nd choice left-back

A central midfielder if Armstrong is sold

Edouard

And another striker if Moussa is sold

:thumbsup:
That's where I am .

Be an interesting window with the English one closing on or around the 9th August.Hopefully help us get some business done earlier if there`s any value actually left in that league.

We struggled when Roberts and Rogic were injured against packed defences. I think we definitely need replacement for Roberts creativity. I am a bit worried that BR thinks it can be Lewis Morgan as he says he wants two and only two players for each position.

I think its decision time for Miller and Ralston. Either they can be relied upon, get season long loans or are shipped out.

I am not that unhappy about CB's as everyone else. I would like to know story with Compper. Looked OK when he played but has not had chance.

If we get Eddie signed up alongside the Rogic contract it would be a brilliant start to this window.

The next priority should be a right back and a CB, unless Compper is still an option. Mbemba looks like he could be a good signing, but it will all depend on Boyata staying or going i'd imagine.

Getting another Roberts type would be very handy too, but it's no easy feat to do that. Lovro Majer looks like he could be just the ticket, but it looks as though Man City are in for him. We could still get him on loan.

What's everyone's thoughts on Armstrong? I'd like him to extend his contract, but I think he's for the off.

In summary -

RB
CB
Playmaker / Roberts replacement

GK Gordon, Bain, DDV, Hazard

RB Lustig, Gamboa, Ralston

LB Tierney, Miller

CB Ajer, Hendry, Compper, Boyata, Jozo, Sviatchenko

CM Brown, Rogic, Ntcham, McGregor, Kouassi, Armstrong, , Bitton, Christie, Allan, Benyu

RM Forrest, Johnstone

LM Sinclair, Hayes, Morgan

ST Dembele, Griffiths, Ciftci (Potentially Edouard)


The first team squad as it stands is pretty bloated. The players I've highlighted in red are who I think will leave this window, with green meaning they'll be out on loan. That means we should be looking at losing 8 players from the first team squad which would leave us with a CB and right winger as absolutely essential purchases.

Lustig can still serve as backup and I'd like to keep him around for the ten, but we should be looking at getting him on a lower wage if that's the case as keeping him as one of the current high earners in the squad as a backup makes no sense. Brendan has shown he's not got any room for sentiment, which is a great thing, and if Lustig can't agree to that we should move him on with all of our best wishes for being a fantastic servant and keep Ralston, who serves a purpose being home grown anyway for CL purposes. I'd like to see Morgan in the first team squad next season, but I imagine that largely depends on Jack Ross and if he stays at the Saints or not. If he stays there I reckon Morgan will be back there next season for top flight experience as with Ajer.

Right back is a must. And two wingers.

And I'd be happy to see Gordon replaced cos I don't think he's very good.

One of our youths, Sam Wardrop, has agreed to go to Dundee Utd for the next season, unclear from the report if it's a loan or permanent:

I think BR will look to steady the ship for the ten.

I expect to see guys staying rather than a plethora of new faces. Stability and all that.
We need to do more transfer wise than 'steady the ship'.

Rodgers deserves serious financial backing, after leading us to consecutive Champions League qualifications plus the double treble.

Sell Hayes and buy McLean. we need better back up than Hayes and Morgan.

I've only seen highlights of Morgan, could turn out well but wouldn't fancy an injury and him being our LW for big games, give him a season to settle in.
