Gribz 743 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Just running through each position for the team and IF (big if) the Beasley and Faubert transfers went through we would only be maybe a right back and keeper away from having good all round numbers. GK - McGregor / Robinson and possibly Graeme Smith to come in as back up? The fans are split on whether this is good enough or not, but whatever happens we have the numbers there again. Its just my opinion but id prefer a keeper with higher quality to come in. RB - Hutton is a hands down starter but Lowing hasnt nearly had enough games. He may make the step up next season but someone with a bit more experience may be the better option and allow Lowing out on loan for a season. This the the one position we need another body. LB - Smith / Papac / Murray - plenty cover, we could even release Murray. CH - Weir / Ehiogu / Broadfoot / Svensson - Plus Papac and Hemdani can fit in and Webster may sign on along with either Cuellar or Todd - enough cover there but a long term partnership needs to be resolved. Centre midfield - Ferguson / Hemdani / Thomson / Buffel? - 1 or 2 injuries would see us in a bit of bother here and Buffel is still not confirmed to be staying nor is a centre midfielder unless he is infront of diamond which is unlikely to be played. Would Quashie be a good signing here? Wingers - Burke / Sionko / Adam / Gow - They are the 4 currently on the books but Beasley and Faubert would be great additions and allow Sionko to leave making Burke and Adam good back ups. Novo can also play there. Strikers - Darcheville / Boyd / Sebo / Novo / Lennon - Every team needs 4 and we have that at the moment although Sebo and Novos futures still not confirmed. It may be we add here but time will tell. Young Lennon could make the step up this season. Gow can also play there Conclusion - So I would like a keeper as a priority. Weare linked with Danny Mills at RB, this could be a good loan signing if it could work that way to allow the development of Lowing. We are ok for numbers at centre half but age is against a few of them and there isnt a long term partnership, although I dont think its a top priority this season as Weir easy has this season in him. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete 2,494 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Are we likely to sign a �£10mil player though? No! I don't think he will cost that in the end but i still think he will be too expensive for us. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
juffery 0 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Just to pick on one position, we're nowhere near covered for centre half. Weir is what, 37/38. I can't see him standing up to a full season of league, Scottish and League Cup games, Champ League and internationals. Svensson is suspect to ssay the least, Ehiogu, barring his goal against Celtic was rotten and Broadfoot is an unknown, untested quantity. We need to strengthen every single position, there are virtually no players at the club that are good enough to wear the badge. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webster will be back, on loan if the issues between Hearts/Wigan aren't sorted out. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have enough cover for this season but id be more confortable with 2 younger centre halfs being first choice. EDIT: I forgot to add Gow in the opening post for Winger / Striker. I also see nobody picked up on it though 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
