2018 Summer recruitment

[weejoeharper]

I’ve no idea.
Have you?
I don’t know the stats.
He seems to pick up bookings every 2nd game so I doubt your stat is right but I can’t say for sure.
Was it 17 yellows last season domestically?
He must’ve played roughly 34 games when you remove the suspended matches?

9 against Celtic (2), Rangers (4) , Hibs (1), Hearts (1) and Killie (1)

The rest were against the bottom 6 clubs.

We probably can’t afford it but you could argue we need both.
If we only sign one, we’d only have
McGeoch/Gleeson, Shinnie, Forrester as experienced central midfielders
The rest would be “kids” like Ferguson & Dean Campbell.
I’m all for giving the young boys a chance & game time, but only if they’re ready for it.

I think Frank Ross will also be in the mix to push for a place.
Probably from the bench though.

Aye probably.

Aldo says Considine does fine against the bottom 6 but we should sign a decent left back. One has to assume he did not see the last game of the season. Who was the left back that had Forrest in his pocket that day and still had time to score the winning goal? Am I the only one who is sick tired of the "Considine Bad" broken record?

Considine should have been replaced a few years ago.

I’m pretty sure we’ll see him in the no4 sort at left back at the start of the season.
DM loves him.

Great Dons man but I'd replace him too. He is fine, had a great two or three games last season but too often is just not good enough. We need to beat the cheeks 60% of the time and he's not good enough to do that so get rid of him.

If it's true about this striker we are looking to have signed shortly then would it really be KM? Not seeing any other rumours about it which would be surprising if true.

Derek been looking at someone else altogether perhaps?

Wouldn't surprise me if we take in 2 strikers this summer - Miller plus Moult would have me happy clapping even more than normal.

Rooney will be away, the signs are all there.

Anybody panicking, in mid June, about a lack of signings, I despair.

I'm totally willing to forgive and forget about the 4 against them and the 2 against smelly. I can even overlook the 1 against the tarts. The booking record suddently doesn't seem so bad. Last seasons goal against them at Ibroke with the clowns falling over their clown shoes provides further leeway. Sign a new deal Mr Shinnie. You know you, your Mrs and bairns want it to happen.

I think we’ll sign one striker.
Also think Rooneys days may be numbered.
Don’t think 2 would be signed.
Having 4 when 95% of the time we only play 1, I just can’t see it
