Ok so thank fuck the season is over and we can really start to look to next season.  Theres clearly going to be a change in personell so realistically which players do YOU think we should be signing or at least approaching.  

 

I'm interested in imrie and cerny at hamilton, possibly neil as well but would need assurances about fitness.  Rooneys contract is up at ict and would have him in a second.  Scott boyd at county could be worth taking in for the defence but given there would be a fee involved i doubt it will happen.  Would really like stevie smith but norwich would have to release him for this to happen.  Another f/b that can play either side would def be advisable though.  More than anything we need someone with a bit of guile in midfield.  Who this is though i have no idea.......

Overall i think the minumum we need is a goalie, 2 fullbacks, 1 centre half, 1 attacking midfielder, 1 wide player and 1 striker

Minimum  

I'm hoping that this is just a lie so that every player we want to try and sign doesn't suddenly cost £400,000.

 

I'd have a fuck-load of players for £400,000

 

Messi, Ronaldo, Berbatov.............

Brown after 4 players according to the P&J - 1 keeper, 2 midfielders and a striker to replace Maguire.

Whatever happened to the signings being announced yesterday then?!?

Player wanted more time apparently... 

So is it aff or just on hold?

According to BBC gossip yesterday, we're waiting on clearance.

I heard that for Gonzalez.

Looking (not very far) ahead.

 

25 days

 

By now I'm usually salivating at the prospect of a new season, this Summer I'm thoroughly enjoying a break from it all.  Even the Woman's World cup can't tempt me.

 

I'm actually dreading the new season.  Never felt like this before.  My kids aren't interested in it, I've all but given up on it, the people running the club clearly don't give a fuck about it.  It's official.....

 

AFC, RIP in peace.

 

Hope that's cheered you all up. 

I'm trying to piece together a starting XI with who we have signed along with our current squad and no idea where to start, so many midfielders.

                          Gonzalez

                McArdle Mawene Considine

Foster      Osbourne  Fyvie  Milsom        Clark

                    Vernon  A.N Other

                          Gonzalez

                McArdle Mawene Considine

Foster      Osbourne  Fyvie  Milsom        Clark

                    Vernon  A.N Other

 

Pretty much what I was thinking but not sure where Jack, Aluko and Pawlett feature in terms of starting XI or bench.

That is if Aluko stays or goes.

Totally forgot about Pawlett somehow!  Can't see how he fits into that formation though, unfortunately and i think it's looking more likely that is how Brown is going to play it.

I'd have Folly in there too!!

That is if Aluko stays or goes.

 

Been no noise about anyone being interested. He might come back to Earth with a bump and stay.

 

Who knows?

                          Gonzalez

                McArdle Mawene Considine

Foster      Osbourne  Fyvie  Milsom        Clark

                    Vernon  A.N Other

 

Looks to be a typically Craig Brown (Scotland) team, 3-5-2/5-3-2. Aluko and Pawlet presumably could take the position of AN Other,  Clark,  Foster or even Fyvie, Jack can fill in any where across the middle, so to can Folly or at the back. The bulk of our wins will be 1-0 but I'd say we'll win more than we loose with that formation.

I take it that's the move/interest for Jennings then?

I saw A.N Other looking at houses in Westhill this morning.

                    Gonzalez

        McArdle Mawene Considine

Jack                Folly                  Foster

            Osborne      Milsom

                      Fyvie

                      Vernon

 

subs:

new gk

new versatile def (or robertson)

new versatile def

clark

Pawlett

Magennis (or Paton)

new cf

 

obviously aluko/clangers would be there somewhere if/when available.

 

And possibly loaning Pawlett out might be a good idea, rather than another season where we can't accomodate him.

So how long till we shift to 442 after we fail to adapt to 352/532? 

Another midfielder coming in tomorrow apparently.

think it's osborne being 'unveiled'.

Really does look like 3-5-2  then.

It may be, but I don't think it is.
