The long summer is moving along quite rapidly all of a sudden. Walter Smith & his assistants have signed new deals and we've lost some of the playing staff who's contracts were finished - DMB, Stevie Smith & Nacho Novo have all left and the club are stating in no uncertain terms today that Kris Boyd has also now left. So who will be next? Will captain kirk sign a new deal or will he refuse what's on offer and be shown the door as well? Davie Weir??

 

What about other players whose contracts are finished this summer? The club this week ran a story about Shinnie being a prospect for next season after an impressive tournament out in Hong Kong despite the fact that his contract is up and we've not heard anything about him penning a new deal... There are actually quite a few of the younger players whose contracts are expired, so we can expect to see quite a number of them shown the door apparently. With a new owner supposedly very near to being announced, these are interesting, yet worrying times.

I think we'll start the season with a squad of:

 

McGregor - GK

Alexander - GK

Whittaker - Right back/Left back

Papac - Left back/Centre back

Little - Right back/Striker

Weir - Centre back

Webster - Centre back

McCulloch - Centre back/Centre midfield

Thomson - Centre midfield

Edu - Centre midfield

Davis - Right midfield/Centre midfield

Naismith - Right midfield/Striker

Fleck - Left midfield

Lafferty - Left midfield/Striker

Miller - Striker

Velicka - Striker

 

 

Bougie will go, Wilson will go, Broadfoot will probably go but there's a chance he could stay, Weir will stay

 

And the prospect of that squad being strong enough, or good enough, to win the title is laughable

So we won't sign anybody to replace the players who are going in your opinion?

That looks about right but I think we'll sign about 5 players and couple will be promoted from the youths.

PS We've been promised about 5M to spend plus the proceeds of sales - so if you believe that and we get 5M for Boogie and 3M for Wilson, that's 13M to spend.

 

TBH I can't see us spending that much in one season but could mean we spend about half and keep half in reserve for next year with spending depending on income for that year. That could get us a couple of Bosmans and three two-million-pound players...

 

Could be worse.

could be a lot worse....

 

if we can keep those players hippo said and add say 4-5 others then we'll have a squad of about 20 then add another few youngsters then it's not looking too bad, well it still will be for the pessimists but nothing new there :)
