kfc_superteam Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 It's been about 6 weeks since our last game. The players will have had a good rest and I think they will be back next week for pre season. Sir Steve has secured many of our top players which has put us in a positive position. I think we are in a good place and I don't expect many signings. Let's not forget the most successful teams are ones who have a consistent core of players with one or two being brought in each year. St Johnstone, Aberdeen, Celtic for example. I think we have enough to be comfortable this year. Livingston, Hamilton will be down the bottom. Dundee have a decent team but a terrible manager. Motherwell, St Mirren, Hearts are capable of matching us this year so I don't think we should automatically get upset if we dont quite hit the heights this year. Key to our success will be hanging on to Steve. Hopefully we can get at least a full season out of him. If and when a championship team lose their manager Steve will be on the radar and the lure of returning to England will be there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhumper Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 St Mirren will be nowhere near matching us this season. Hearts have signed a load of dross as far as I can see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclean07 Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) If Mulumbu, Tshibola, Jones, Findlay are away along with the dross we released, I would expect at least six signings with the freed up wages and increased budget. Thinking we can progress with much the same squad is delusional. We will be a bigger target this season and every team needs freshened up, BB is too ambitious to let things rest.

chubbs Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 We'll bring in 2/3 for the start of the season and then another 2/3 by the end of the window ... depending on who leaves. Think 5th/6th is our realistic target for the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not one post I've read so far shows any confidence in "the crap" he's signed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for delusional, I haven't seen anyone say we should go with the same squad. What folk are saying is there is no rush for signings, we've the nucleus of a good squad. SC will pick his targets wisely. Always more availability nearer the window closing in England with clubs shifting players and I think that's what we'll do. We've enough to get through cup with what we've got. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG5 Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 S Clarke does his business quietly when its signed and sealed we will find out. We have a basis of a squad and will be added to like( S/humper) i dont think we will make a lot of signings. But the ones we make will have quality about them that will add to the way he wants us to play and not just signed to add to the numbers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
