    We need experience, granted.

    However, that shouldn't be at the expense of letting talented players slip through our fingers. Partially why James McCarthy now plays in the Premiership for Everton and not for Celtic.

    Another midfielder we dont need.

    Looks like a good prospect but we dont need him the now, if its true then we should let Inverness keep him for a year.

    Not seen enough of him but he's supposed to be good and is at least an actual left winger..

    A thought he was more of an attacking centre mid.

    Hear, hear. I'm a huge fan of buying potential and developing it, but there has to be balance.
    Only thing i can think of is if we sign a load of young players and gel them together the club hopes they'll have loyalty to each other, and stick out contracts for the duration as a pack. Not sure that boats gonna float...

    Actually, I wonder if the club is trying to go down the same route as Southampton and have the crux of the Scottish youth levels in one place, and a constant conveyer belt in place from there? Might not be the daftest next step for us actually...

    Edit: if we step it up and properly finish their development that is...

    Can't wait till Ronny finally gets to use his 5 5 0 formation.

    My worry is we have way too many attacking midfield players already.

    I do like Christie, but presuming we buy him and loan him back to Inverness, next season we'd have him and Henderson coming back and we already have Johansen/Commons/Armstrong/Rogic/Allan who can play that role

    Maybe we could play a narrow 4-3-2-1 to accommodate all these central midfielders? :39:

    The thing that is most annoying is they are being signed with the aim to sell
    On at a profit, no ambition to add to the existing starting 11, or they would be signed and straight in.

    that seems to be the intention. almost as if they have looked at the recent interest from down south in scottish youngsters and thought 'if we were selling them on, we could be looking at 3/4/5m take against an outlay of between 250k-1m'

    Jings, not another midfielder.

    I thought buying Allan was too much, now we're going for another.

    Fek me.

    I'd maybe have understood Souttar, but not another forward player.

    A centre-half, full back, striker and I would have maybe went for an experienced playmaker, but not another young lad.

    I would have taken Scott McDonald for a season with option of 1 more season. He could find the net in Europe

    I'm rarely excited by Scottish talent but Christie is class. Reckon 2-3 years he will be starting for us.

    He might well be, but how about we sign players that are good enough to improve the starting X1 right now.
