oaksoft Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) So, if my arithmetic holds up, we've now got 13 genuine 1st team players with the likes of Erhahon and Baird adding to that (if they come back) plus Breadner who is a kid. So, I reckon we need to be aiming at 21 players including 3 kids which means we need between 5 and 8 more providing covid doesn't bugger the budget too much. We are very light at the back and up front. Midfield and goalkeeping positions look pretty reasonable. 2 strikers and 3 defenders presumably are the priority with any extra players perhaps going to bolster defence or midfield.

Left back , centre half , striker and attacking midfielder the priorities . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Foley and Tait can play makeshift CH, so if our budget is stretched we might only go for one. I hope we get an experienced CH to help out to help out McCarthy. As experienced as he is, he's still a youngster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s rejected terms with motherwell. Supposedly has decided to go to Motherwell according to P&B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sad reality is that given the market we operate in, none of the targets are in the category of me being absolutely gutted if they don’t come off.

If the rumoured £50k transfer fee is true I'm fine with the player rejoining Motherwell. Not the right time for paying transfer fees. Tough to compete with the appeal of Motherwell's one European tie as well. Better paying a decent wage and attracting a good out of contract player - pretty sure we will have choices.

FTOF Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 JG in the PDE stating that we are hoping to get a least one deal done by the end of the week and that we are working hard on two or three others. Wonder if the one this week was O'Hara.🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 JG on Sky Sports saying 4 or 5 more in, primarily defenders. Also looking for another centre forward to compete with Jon Obika and Morias. Personally, I think 2 centre halves, a left back and two forward options are a must.

Especially if it freed Flynn back up to rejoin the midfield (as much I think he was great at right back). No idea as to Naismith’s availability or if we could afford him now.
