I would agree with that, ajer will be off thoughCalmac ,Forrest,MJ,Henderson,Ajer
With the size of the rebuild needed, it's a construction manager we need not a DofF

I agree with you about Kenny and Laxalt but Duffy ffs, just naw.In a well coached and organised defence, playing to a game plan, he'd be a decent player. We're throwing young men who've had long spells on the bench at elite clubs into our circus and expecting miracles. I don't feel comfortable villifying guys like Kenny, Laxalt or Duffy. This disaster isn't their fault.
Tet I've read your post quite carefully imo the 1st thing we need is a manager. Yes there is a rebuild needed but more importantly we need to get a system of recruitment and development before we start throwing cash around. We need a keeper who is dependable when it comes to the penalty box, he must be big personality to dictate his defence, someone in the mould of Boric. Another cb with physicallity who won't duck when he is about to be hit by a ball, I think that 1 holding /defensive midfielder should be fine if we have a proper defence, I would keep griff but I would change the terms of his contract, not in a financial sense but in the terms oh his off-field behaviour, I would try to get as much for Christie as possible but get him on his bike, less reliance on loan signings as the difference in pay has a negative effect on the harmony in the dressing room, of our own players out on loan bring them back give the opportunity to play and if they don't want to be here ger shot. Here's hoping for some good news soon HH.Out of curiosity how many of the current squad were here this time last year?
And why are we needing to bin the whole lot of last seasons treble winners?
The rebuild is not as hard as people are making out, imo
Form can dip, especially under weird circumstances.
Also which players in Sevco side do you rate higher than our players?
If we swapped entire squads, would anyone think we have the best squad?
Player for player which players in their team are so good we need a massive upgrade in our team to counter that threat?
personally I think barkas will come good.
Not based on anything other than he is big goalie with experience and needs better defenders helping him imo
I actually rate Julien and ajar higher than their best 2 cbs
Taylor is better defender than barisic but barasic is much higher quality going forward both timing and the dangerous crossing
We dont have a right back and haven't had one since binning Lustig who was on a shoofly peg for his last couple seasons
The lad bolt would probably have been a good player if he was in a proper system with proper instructions
I liked el hamed but I think his wife got sick of this country coupled with the terrible disrespect he got by being second fiddle to a wee dude who was totally garbage 90 percent of his gametime.
So tav currently better option than we have at full back too.
So we need better fullbacks to deal with that threat
Midfield I dont really rate their midfield individually but they play as a 3 man unit
very tight very supportive of both defence and attack
I think our current players could match their mids no problem if matched in similar system with tight bond of teamwork binding them both to each other and aware of opportunities and threats
need 2 new quality Centre mids for certain
coupled with 2 right backs who can defend first but dynamic and capable of passing and crossing
we have good wingers in forrest and Johnson imo
but we need a better more experienced left winger imo
with Johnson as back up
I dont buy this whole team need replaced theory
its the current terrible system that needs fixed
fix the system we need 5 new quality first team ready players
2 right backs
2 centre mids who can play centre mid with awareness and bite
1 winger
if eddy goes we need a new striker
if ajetti goes too we need 2
if Griffiths goes too we need 3
I think those 3 are good strikers if they are motivated
but are they? if not why not
maybe we fix the team work plan and the creative ideas for these guys to bury and I think they would bury them
but no proper supply from wings and no proper solid aware midfield has crushed our season coupled with rank rotten tactics repeated and repeated and repeated.
5 new players
let the loan dudes loose
maybe from our own out on loan players we have decent options already to fill the 5 major positions I think are lacking
5 new players
I think we would have a much stronger team if we reverted to 4231 or 4213 or 433 with at least 2 centre mids patrolling the centre of the park both aware and dynamic
I think soro might be good enough as 1
but I would like 2 new better than soro with soro as the 3rd cm
even if we let christie and logic go
we still have cal and turnbull for acm and maybe even the boy Henderson or the wee left sided dude who hardly had a chance
A real top right back with a back up
2 centre mids
And a quality Paulo dicanio type winger
Are vital imo
If boli aint coming back we need a left back who can cross
our must sign player is a proper right back who can defend first and dynamic enough to get forward when needed
we need a high quality centre mid for certain
we need a proper winger for certain

Soro and Welsh. Soro because he's a solid defensive mid and but for sentimentality would have established himself firmly already. Welsh because for a young lad thrown in at the deep end playing where a 2m loan player should have been he's been solid. He's not been the waiting disaster Duffy was every game. Ok nothing flashy but solid. He WILL improve with experience.I gave this serious thought before posting possibly only player i might keep is turnball the rest can go if you doubt my opinion tell me who you would keep and why and ill give you facts on why not by the way turnball just makes it
Bit harsh jpw as I still don't think we are as bad off as many would claim. We were always way to overloaded with players especially with the amount of loanees. Had no real shape to our play with no system to be seen whatsoever that worked properly. Still believe we have got the makings of a much younger squad that can be well coached and placed into a system of play that can suit us.I gave this serious thought before posting possibly only player i might keep is turnball the rest can go if you doubt my opinion tell me who you would keep and why and ill give you facts on why not by the way turnball just makes it
