Building a squad for the Premiership

[Yeats 62]

When all the loan players JUMP fae Dens, I wonder who has the hardest task? Hmmn.. There should be a rule (there probably was at one time) about just how many loanees are acceptable and fair to other clubs who abide by the rules (legal and moral) Just like the 3 foreigners ( can we still say that? ) rule.

PS: IP addresses, can be easily found and blocked if required. Then again, that VPN thingy might come in to play....

Virtual Private Naecu*t....

Simon Murray is a no brainer for me

Try and bring Levitt home too, injury hampered but we are the club for him, will get the best out of him, especially with a stable goalie and defence

JG said players giving 2 year deals were done so with the proviso that they were capable of playing in prem. I sure docherty was one of them. I hope I’m wrong but I think Grimshaw was another??

Walton said on STV news he wants to stay

A no to Simon Murray for me, can take a goal when he has nothing to think about but his general play isn't good enough and he's always getting caught offside - because let's face it he's no the brightest.

Levitt I think would jump at the chance and I hope his mum and dad (who still came on our away bus a few times last season) are having a word in his ear but I fear he's on a really good wage and decent length of contract to go so that's a non starter imo.

It's a no to Levitt for me. Like most of last season's squad he didn't have the bottle to battle when needed.

I would offer Walton a contract though. Along with A.N.Other incoming goalkeeper and let them battle it out for the #1 jersey.

The attributes we need in the side IMO are:

- Pace
- Leadership
- Creativity
- Ambition

A new coach for the strikers...thats the first piece to the rebuild that I want. We aren't going to create as many chances in the premier...so were are gonna have to be more clinical in the final third.I also want a proper leader on the park, similiar to Webster when he was here. Width and pace is a must also!
Decent keeper. Strong spine to the team. Width & pace and a clinical striker...not too much to ask for!!!

Agree 100%

Levitt was a part of the Charlatan 11 bottle crashers that took us down. Watching him hide from tackles and fail to turn up was horrific and he's done exactly the same at Hibs.
People wanting him back need to give their heads a wobble.

Agree with your thoughts on Murray, but as mentioned above it's surely a no for Levitt. I think folk just remember when he stepped in with the occasional great goal but forget his lack of impact in most games.

I was talking to a couple of fans of other Premiership teams last night and I asked them how many new players we need to be minimum 10th next season. My Jambo mole said 8, a Hibbee said 8, I said at least 7.
Personally I don't think we'll see that because I worry JG is going to put too much faith in the existing squad.
How many new players do you think we need?
