cambiebud Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 As we are all saying this team needs major investment to compete. Currently they wouldn’t beat Hamilton or Livi. They are one paces and lack a striker. I really do think that with two weeks till kick off we should have more players in by now. In a nutshell.

Fast Striker, sitting midfielder, fast creative mid fielder, fast winger, a fast right back, a back up goalie and big Gary back in the starting 11.

When he recovers from injury? Unfortunately his injury record has had some bearing on his current standing. I'd say we need a couple of forwards - one target man and one quick winger/attacker; another McGinn type midfielder; A centre half and a full back that can play both LB and RB. Oh aye and none of them are allowed to be shite! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get in the boy Johnston then he may well be the guy who can replace Morgan. Magennis is still here and Kpekawa shows real potential to replace Davis - and not be injured half the season. I think we will be okay. Wish we had a 20 goal striker, been a while since we had one of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendy Saintss Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 I think people have rose tinted specs when it comes to Morgan, as soon as he put pen to paper with the beggars he was largely missing for us and only played in fits / starts.You should have opened your eyes then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise he probably would be playing as first choice centre back. I would still keep him though as he is the best we have when fit and he was part of that cracking side that saved us and got us promoted.

I like MacKenzie, but I worry about his injury record, and I have a feeling that premiership forwards would prey on his lack of pace, like our current CH's. We definitely need a premiership quality CH that can slot into our defence immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the speed this guy is going to move at we are going to need someone with the pace of Usian Bolt alongside him to cover his endless mistakes.

Wendy Saintss Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 Forever?Well he missed 22 league games last season and has been injury prone his whole career.Do you think this is suddenly going to change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddies1877 Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 We badly need minimum 2 wingers and 2 strikers as we currently have no wingers at the club. Smith and Mullen are no10s playing behind the striker they have no pace to play out wide. Cooke looks like a downgrade from Ross Stewart and king looks like a downgrade from hippolyte. Hope We manage to get players in this week in time for the Dundee game. I think Stubbs was hoping to get mikey Johnstone in from Celtic last week but for Celtic to decide to wait for now. With other premiership teams struggling in the league cup I don’t think we are alone in being behind in putting together a decent squad aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason to offload him when the recruits are so poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddies1877 Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 Flynn is a winger. But I agree we need a couple more inWas I don’t think he has the pace anymore at nearly 30 years of age looks more comfortable playing more central.
