    Just watched the ronny interview and when asked about signings he didnt really come accross as a manager waiting on payers arriving.

    Hope he was just hiding it well.

    Get the * defence sorted. Its plain for everybody to see that we need to strengthen there.

    Does anyone have a list of left backs that are available or we realistically have a chance of getting in? Or CBs for that matter?

    We're all crying out for one but since my days of playing champ ended many years ago I'm a bit rubbish with other teams' players.

    I don't think for a second we're even in for one.

    Aye it does seem a bit too quiet.

    I think even at this time last year we were still being linked with folk.

    We have always had a wee bit of excitement on deadline day, with surprise signings that nobody knew was happening.

    I'll be * raging if we don't sign a few.

    We needed a left back 4 seasons ago. My prediction is that young Christie will come in and VVD will go. Wouldnt rule out the possibility of a cheap player or loan also wouldnt be surprised if VVD leaves and noone else comes in

    If Virgil goes, we're 3, maybe 4, players short of qualifying from the Europa League group imo.

    If Virgil leaves without a replacment the EL is the last of our worries.

    Eugh, shut up. With or without him (and I love the guy), we'll the win league by at least 15 points.

    I fully expect us to field 3-1-5-1 next season, with all those attacking midfielders we have/we want to buy.

    Just sign a left back ffs!

    I think we will end up making a bid for soutar from Dundee united

    Will replace van dijl but as for rest of the team it's who we get rid of

    Need rid of derk, scepovic (if he is getting a look in), stokes

    Send players out on loan who need game time like what he has done with fisher and Henderson

    Would take a LB & L/CB...& DM is vital..

    Willing to give Griffiths and Ciftci a shot at the EL..another ST would be great but feel we need to address our defensive frailties first.

    A left back and a centre back is the bare minimum.

    Will probably get 2 or 3 in, wouldn't surprise me if as much as 2 of those were loan's..

    Wouldn't bother me if they were... so long as they're the RIGHT loans. Quality additions are what's needed, everything else is fluid...

    A left back who is at least as equal in ability as Izzy but less attack minded and a solid replacement for Van dijk is what is drastically needed.
    In an ideal world we'd also sign a striker who is at least a slight improvement on Griffiths but in reality that almost surely won't happen. Much like the above.
