Summer Transfer Window (Stephen Glass’ first)

[Br0chred]

I'd say we're short of a left back; 2 centre halves (if Devlin has vanished) & 2 forwards (if it's 4-4-2) - admittedly we have 2 or 3 midfielders too many. If we do have the 3rd highest wage bill some players are seriously overpaid!

In the near future Considine, Brown, Hayes & McGinn need replacing (presumably Hedges & Ferguson too). New recruitment boy is going to be busy.

Agree with nearly all of that but Ngenwya could be decent cover at left back and should be given a shot this weekend. If Mckenzie needs to play in the back 3 then he should get some decent game time. There's no point in having international defenders if you are never going to play them, particularly if your other option is to play a small left winger at left back.

Glass has made it clear that he is trying to get at least a defender and a striker. I think he will get what he wants and one or two will be gone on loan.

When did he say he wanted another defender ?

Now that Considine's injured we need 2 central defenders, a striker and a winger; possibly more if Hedges or Ferguson Leave.

I heard that we are set to offer £300K plus Kennedy for McGrath.

Would like to see us go for Kerr but can't see that happening if they qualify for the Group stages.

I think we’ve already been in for him but couldn’t agree a deal. Not to say we won’t try again though. The good news is Glass was looking to add a CH even before Andy’s injury so it’s surely a must now.

Aye, Ngenwya seemed decent & enthusiastic in the brief outing I saw, happy to score that off the list of requirements if he's given a chance. Always said we should have 2 players per position (including a few young guys) and actually use them when required rather than shunt a Hayes or Considine to full-back.
