The end of season clearout

I would keep

Craig Gordon
Saidy Janko
Erik Sviachenko
Charlie Mulgrew
Kieran Tierney
Stuart Armstrong
Scott Allan
Tom Rogic
Ryan Christie
Leigh Griffiths

Every other player can go including that * Brown his performances & attitude has been shocking & hopefully Henderson comes back from Hibs n Celtic dont let him go

 

Apart from KT and Griff, I honestly don't think I'd care if any of them left.

 

The team next season would be

Gordon
Janko simunovic. Sviatchenko tierney
Henderson. Rogic Armstrong
Allen. Roberts
Griffiths

With Moyes in charge : )

 

We play well with a 4-3-3 or 4-3-1-2 so start with that.

Gordon
Erik Mulgrew KT
McGregor Rogic
Griffiths

So 7 players needed to sort the team out

 

I agree with your list except for Janko. I'd look into building around Rogic, adding a second striker to the formation and incorporating Commons somehow.

Off the top of my head player wise i can really only think of Jonny Hayes that could come within budget, but of knowledge of the game and can score. The rest will likely come from Ashdod for 300k

 

Exactly. A competent manager could mould this group into a half-decent team. We need to clear the fringe players, and bring in 3-4 first-teamers.

 

Just as a wee note, you don't need to consider the 4-2-3-1 formation anymore when deciding what players will stay and go. That * and ineffective formation will go with Deila.

 

That's how I see it. We have a decent squad that could do with some quality on a few key areas, primarily a holding midfielder, competent wide players, and another defender. There's obviously a fair amount of dead-wood though.

The manager is the major problem here, and he has been for a long time. We aren't getting the most out of what we have.

 

Keep Gordon, Tierney, Sviatchenko, Mulgrew, Rogic, Roberts, McGregor and Griffiths probably Simonovic as not seen enough. Wouldn't bat an eye if all the others left

 

Keep- Tierney, Sviatchenko, Rogic, Mulgrew, Griffiths, Gordon, Allan, Christie, GMS, McGregor, Janko
Definitely get rid of- Brown, Ambrose, Boyata, Cole, Scepovic, Ciftci, Forrest
Get rid if things don't improve- Bitton, Johansen, Lustig, Commons, Armstrong
Would definitely sell Bitton if a big offer such as the reported £10 million. Think Commons is finished but I might be wrong.

Team for next season-

Gordon

Janko
Sviatchenko
Mulgrew
Tierney

Henderson/Ajer
Bitton

Roberts
Rogic
Christie/Allan

Griffiths

 

Rogic, Sviatchencko, Griffiths, Tierney. Other than that the rest can * off to League 1 and play for Northampton or MK Dons.

 

We would get pumped with that team.

 

For me, we should be getting rid of: Johansen, Boyata (How is he at this level?), Lustig, Stokes, Scepovic, Cifti, Ambrose and Forrest.

If Broony doesn't get a finger out he can bolt as well.

I think Armstrong could be brilliant, if we get the right person in to get the best out of him. GMS still has enough about him to try and be a quality player, but if he's still the same next year he can bolt too.

We should be playing the likes of: Allan, Christie and Rogic, as well as the young boys: Eoghan O'Connell, Nesbitt - at least give them a chance.

Sviatchenko could be a beast for us if he gets the right partner too. I think the pieces are there, but we need to get rid of a lot and add some more to get the best team we can. Suppose that's what we all want in the end - a team that cares about winning and playing with some passion.

 

Only ones id keep are Tierney, Sviatchenko, Rogic and Griffiths.

Janko, Allan, Christie and Henderson deserve an opportunity.

The rest could leave and I wouldn't give a *, and that's a shitload of players at that.

 

Gordon

Sviatchenko Simunovic Mulgrew


Roberts Biton Rogic Mcgregor Tierney

Allan

Griffiths



​

 

Get Brown OUT.

Also, if anybody seriously wants to spend £10 million on Bitton, take it.

Get rid: Stokes, Commons, Forrest, Mackay-Steven, Scepovic, possibly Boyata, McGregor as well tbh.

Time for a new era.

 

Imagine that team in a CL game against Barca, the bon accord record defeat would be in jeopardy

 

Be interesting to see who would actually be interested in Broon

Johanson and Forrest I'd forgotten about such is their anonymity and lack of impact.

Tierney, Sviatchenko, Rogic and Griffiths who to be fair it's not just his goals but the fact he actually looks as if he gives a * are the only certainties, Simunovic probably, Gordon not as good as last season but today and a few other times this season still pulls out crucial saves, Roberts clearly has ability and the rest I'm struggling to put up a case for.

I'm sure it's going to be a similar situation when Mcgeady went and Lennon came in as manager and practically a whole new team has to be put together, we need a manager with a track record of doing this successfully as sticking with what we have already got will not be the way forward.

 

Johansen unfortunately does make an impact . A Negative one almost every week.
