Summer Transfer Window (Stephen Glass’ first)

[alfordshepherd]

The thing i would be questioning is how the squad is full of central strikers and central midfielders and with only 2 what you would consider to be bona fida wingers in Hayes and McGinn who are both practically shot and past it as footballers

McLennan and hedges are not really wingers, Mclennan is a headless chicken who runs around a lot and tries but has no attributes to be a winger and Hedges is more of a link up number 10 type , he is most certainly not a wide player

I would assume this is also the end of Lewis Ferguson to the highest bidder, can't see how he can fit so many central midfielders in an XI, hes already using OJO as a wideman, and he's not a winger either

Either that or he goes to a back 5 and uses wingbacks, that would allow an attacking triumverate of Hedges and Watkins behind a striker with the wingbacks providing the attacking width

I think this squad is patchwork, if not transitional. OJO and Longstaff are already away in June 2022, ferguson doesnt want to be here so, theres three right off the bat. I'd suggest that Hedges and Mclennan will leave for differing reasons

[nice1simmy]

That’s 2 good signings imo.

Longstaff will do well for us even if it is just a loan deal.

Bates is a good defender from what I seen of him playing for Scotland a few years ago, although I’m sure it won’t be long until he is deemed pish by some

He's pish,no better than McCrorie and certainly no better than Considine

If it’s wide players you want then I’d go for Brochred.

Wingers seem to be a thing of that past in the modern style. Not saying that's a good thing but maybe it's easier for us to avoid being so reliant on them, McInnes struggled with that.

Unfortunately we will always be patching up parts of the squad as well. It's impossible for us to have every player under longer contracts.

Not sure Glass wants to sign past it folk anymore, but i'd give it a go!! Probably get sent off v the hun though

Mr. Cormack tweeting that we should keep an eye out for breaking news.

Have they sold Ferguson?

[donsdaft]

That was my thought.

More likely to be out rather than in.

They haven't announced Bates yet.
