right back is our most important position to fill this summer. Getting a good right back would instantly take the pressure off Tierney as we could use both sides of the pitch equally, instead of funnelling everything up the left. We will be a far better side if we could get a right back with energy and the ability to cross. Ralston and Hendry are not this.
Agree with this - in fact, forcing the opposition to worry about our right wing might improve Sinclair’s game as well as KT’s.

Phil suggesting we will be unveiling 3 or 4 new players

Expects two of them to be Edouard and John McGinn. Says financials agreed with Hibs, who wanted Mikey Johnston on loan - which we said no to. Scott Allan may be part of the deal.

John McGinn ffs
a rumour :clap:

I'd assume this means Armstrong will be leaving along with Allan, Probably Christie too. I'd have let Mikey Johnston go on loan, but if we said no there must be high hopes for him this season :thumbsup:

Still need a right back, centre back and a right winger though. We've already offloaded Paddy, Musonda, De Vries (I think) and Ciftci's wages, I dont think its asking too much for 3 quality additions.

We desperately need a RB.

Gamboa will be off.
Lustig is done.
Ralston isn't good enough.
Hendry isn't even good enough in his natural position.

It should be a priority area.

This, we really need an attacking full back for that side to take some of the work load off KT.

I don't expect Christie to be one of the ones we get rid of. I have it on good authority that BR really rates him, so I'd expect him to be around until at least Christmas.

Morgan will be with us, plus Edouard and McGinn (potentially). I'd want in another RB and an experienced CH that can actually make it into the first team.

Agree with all that except we need a first choice or at least as good as paddy for right wing and not a back up. Someone who can take people on and play incisive passes

No idea why we don't play Gamboa more, even just to give Lustig a rest. The argument that he isn't good enough doesn't really wash when we've got Hendry playing out there.

We really need a new right back.
Gordon struggles to find Lustig's head with his dinks to the wing. You'd need to play Gamboa about 6 rows in.

We're very congested in those 3 positions behind the striker, especially with left sided players - We have Sinclair, Hayes, Morgan, Johnston, Christie, Rogic, McGregor, possibly Armstrong if he stays and Edouard can play from the left too. Thats 9 players :rubeyes: fighting for 2 positions and then only Forrest on the right. We definitely need someone of Paddy's standard competing with Forrest.

Right back, Centre back and cover for KT needed as well, and I doubt we'll see an awful lot of movement until we shift some players, the squad is just so bloated

Gamboa played well against Scotland ( I know!) recently. Don't understand why he's not in the picture considering the alternatives to Lustig.

Don't think BR took too kindly to him playing in the Gold Cup for Costa Rica last summer right in the middle of the CL qualifiers.

From last October:

Quote:
 
“I decided to represent my country at the Gold Cup tournament this summer.

“Unfortunately, I think this has had career consequences for me at Celtic. Not doing pre-season with Celtic has proved to be very expensive for me.​

“There are decisions made by other people who pick the team and it is not in my hands.

“Apparently, playing at the Gold Cup was not taken in a good way at my club and I have had to wait to play again.”

And he will get first chance at it but paddy on form was better and if we want to improve we need that level and hopefully Forrest continues to improve and then we have 2 quality. Problem with signing a back up is you end up with Jonny Hayes or Hendry. You need someone as good to complete or least young enough like a Roberts ( or Musonda who while failing at club had potential to be better) . Our lack of creativity in breaking down tight defense was awful for most of last year and losing Roberts makes situation more worrying and as good a season as Forrest had he isn’t a creative solution

BR has made it clear on many occasions that we wants two players per position. Given that the left looks crowded and the JF looks rather lonely. I think McGregor could play on the right if we had a more attacking FB.
