He's the type of player we need though, a "no 10" - we haven't replaced either Christie or McLean
As good as young Lewis Ferguson has been, he's not a "10" in my opinion - in old fashioned shirt number speak, he's maybe a "box-to-box 8"
Agree that Oliver Burke is probably pie in the sky
However, there is a need for a right winger IMO as Niall McGinn has looked a shadow of the player we had 18 months ago.
And the perennial problem of goal scoring needs addressed.
As difficult as it may be to offload players that are under contract or on loan may be, I think we need to freshen up the striking options.
So, in my ideal world, we'd have a right winger, a "10" and a first pick centre forward brought in (& keep hold of Max Lowe, putting Andy Considine on the bench)
The trouble is, it tends to be short-term loans in January, so again in the summer, it will be mass recruitment.
