Broken_Glass 194 Posted May 12 We need a couple of grafters in the team, guys like Steve Tosh or Graeme Shinnie who will fight for everything and drive the team on. That allows Barron to sit and play passes, use his vision. Then I'd settle for a Shearer/Mixu type partnership up front.. Share this post Link to post

sooth_stander 425 Posted May 12 This ain’t getting fixed in one transfer window; it’s going to take 3 or 4, to fully fix the latter days of the McInnes reign and the Glass fiasco. If he only takes in 6 players this summer, as long as they are of the right quality and character, that will have to do for stage 1. And then the January window will be minor adjustments, ahead of another major recruitment drive the following summer.

Anybody thinking this is getting fixed this summer is plain nuts Aye there is so much to do after a disaster in recruitment and on field displays. Small improvements and a sign that there is a plan for the future might have to suffice for this coming season. This could make for poor viewing next season, we could look like a "hard to beat" team at times. Could be difficult to get the right balance for the team in 1 window, so if it is only 6 it will have to be 6 of decent quality like you say. 1 Share this post Link to post

Anybody thinking this is getting fixed this summer is plain nuts We have been so so bad this season then we cant be doing anything other than fixing things this summer. Weve won about 5 games out of the last 30. Whether folk think fixing it is being 6th, 5th, 4th, Hampden, Silverware etc I guess is what you are meaning. We finished 2 points off top six. It wont be hard to fix things a little bit Share this post Link to post

Not only a player clear out but a refining fire through pittodrie, and once that happens and the ashes settle only then will you see regrowth.

Anybody thinking this is getting fixed this summer is plain nuts No reason why we cant be challenging for third if we get the recruitment right with even 6 signings, providing we have a capable manager in charge which is still up for debate. Motherwell have just qualified for Europe having won about 2 games this calendar year! One thing we can all agree on is that we have to hit the ground running next season.

Ne flexibity for player rotation given our squad players. I think we could have done better on that front since he came in but we were conceding goals with that defence before and after he arrived.

minijc 959 Posted May 12 Just now, sooth_stander said: How would we have announced any pre-contracts? Are you a bit simple? There are various reasons as to why an agreement hasn't been made public, for starters we've only just secured out position in this league, players we are signing have jobs to do at their clubs and maybe don't want to risk getting dropped out of their team by announcing a move to us or another side.

Having seen the players, he clearly had a lot of belief in himself to get it sorted quickly and is now having to admit he's failed. Is it a case of solely blaming the players (understandable, to be fair) or has it also knocked his own confidence and self-belief. Share this post Link to post

Never a good time for that announcement. The lad is way short of being top flight ready for a team that doesn't have the quality that the likes of Celtic have. It's one thing accommodating a young player amongst the rest of their players, it's quite another thing supplanting him into an inferior team. Share this post Link to post
