    Van Dijk will obviously be sold. He'll be replaced by a 750k signing from Scandinavia. Maybe Lawwell will surprise us by getting rid of Bitton as well.

    Van Dijk and Stokes out.
    We'll probably settle for an Ambrose-tier CB to get us through the season and that's it

    We need to sign a CB and LB as soon as possible. We should also be doing our best to get Hooper and a * decent winger.

    No, Europe is over, league is "practically in the bag before the first kick of a ball", so the board now give zero *.

    But shouldn't this have been done before CL qualification starts? Of course it should have. Except our board are full of inept imposters

    Thought of having Griffiths (in Europe) and Ciftci as the two main strikers for this season :52:

    I get what you are saying, but it's a catch 22. No decent players want to come until we are guaranteed to be playing in the CL group stages.
    It's our only selling point. What top European pedigree player wants to come to the SPFL to play Ross county up in Dingwall on a freezing cold day in December.
    Not saying I agree or disagree with it, it just is what it is.

    Doesn't make for great reading, being brutally honest.

    The idea of going through the season with those CB options is terrifying.
    Agree with you on where we need strengthening.

    In order of necessity:
    CB
    LB
    ST
    winger

    Little late for transfer activity.

    We're well positioned for business as usual - strolling the league and underwhelming in the Europa League. Can't wait.

    Badly need a lb, mulgrew is to slow for there and izzy has went off.
    We'll need a replacement for van dijk and another cb for cover.
    For Europa league I'd say a winger like Forrest, someone else who will be direct and run at defenders and take them on but with a better delivery.
    A big striker so we have something different if it's not working.
    And finally for all the midfielders we have I think we're missing the midfielder that can link up between the midfield and upfront and play the final pass through to create more chances.

    Fisher went to st Johnstone on loan yesterday.

    Stokes and scepovic poss McGregor will be sold/ loaned before next Tuesday and you have duplicated players in various positions! Boerrigter will try to get off the books had 3 attempts so far and he still wants a payoff guy will never wear a strip again!

    you look at it like below we have 17 outfield first team players as the full development squad from last season except tierney and o'connell have been loaned/released am not counting fasan either who is a 3rd choice keeper and tierney or o'connell as log term they ain't good enough the now to be considered first team players IMO

    GK: Gordon, Bailly

    DEF: Lustig, Janko, Boyata, Ambrose, Mulgrew, Izzy

    MID: Brown, Rogic, Bitton, Armstong, Allan, Commons, Johansen, Forrest, GMS

    ST: Griffiths, Ciftci

    Now that is * depressing looking at that!:31: but that's what our board has done to our club!

    VVD will be sold to cover costs of the boards mis-management, we will get in a very cheap option and maybe some loan deals but that's it more downgrading and our team will get worse. But Pedro will still have has heated drive

    There would have been ins and outs regardless of last night.

    Need to buy two full backs and another striker, possibly another midfielder due to recent performances. We have to take the Europa seriously because it's the only proper test we'll get at that level which should help us out next season. Bar the money a kind draw could get some big clubs to Parkhead, looking forward to it.

    It will be the same as last year. Loanees - 'try b4 u buys'. Why, because we're out of the CL are things going to change? We've shown our buying power with Ciftci, Allan, Boyata, Janko - £4m for the 4 of them.
