Thoughts on Popescu who was at Hamilton and released by Hearts. Experienced and may be a good fit for Berra. Popescu is up there with the worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye I know it’s strange, one article says it’s a done deal and another saying were still in dialogue and will find out between 7 to 10 days Edited June 8, 2022 by RRFC_Liam 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSDR 88 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 RT for me to as just as important to get re-signed as Brad. Just like Jason Thomson, he is/was such an outlet down that right hand side. We’ve already lost MacDonald on the left and seen no outlet down the left last season. If he is away, I hope it’s to a Prem club. Someone else in the Championship and I’ll be gutted! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burns and the Record likely jumped the gun, or the amurray quote is from the weekend (Burns had the story on the Monday) and the FFP is only just now reporting it, or he's verbally agreed a deal and Murray is playing coy.

Michael W Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 A blow, but an expected one, unfortunately. Almost an entirely new defence, then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumilty is really the only blow and we saw that coming months ago. Musonda was only half decent last season, injury prone and had one or two shockers. I would have kept him on the strength of his 20/21 showing but taking last season in isolation I probably wouldn't. End of the day we weren't great defensively last season, and while a fair chunk of that is on how open McGlynn had us playing - there is a case for a defensive revamp based on how our back 4 played. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CALDERON Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 RT leaves a real gap. Musonda I would have kept, but expected both to be away. The line re Spencer does not do much to inspire confidence, it must be said. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I really hoped we'd be able to keep Musonda, I think he's got the potential to be a real standout at this level if he's played in the same position every week. I'll be interested to see where he pops up next. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be interested to see where he pops up next. I’m of the same view. I suspect his exploits with Zambia will have opened up a few doors to him, possibly opportunities we can’t complete with. So, two centre backs and a right back required then. Who’s available? Edited June 8, 2022 by Enigma 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's better than he showed in a disrupted season. Not getting settled into a consistent position probably didn't help his case either, though conversely we will definitely miss his versatility. We will not get another Tumilty, unfortunately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisrush1471 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 We'll never get a right back as good as Tumilty without gambling on released youth players I don't think. Not the most exciting suggestion, but got Jason Naismith got released by Killie and would definitely do a job 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 In fairness last season at the back was a disaster. We must have played about 12 different permutations due to injuries, suspensions, poor form, bad ideas and sheer desperation to stop shipping late goals. For anyone to walk out of it unscathed and to then move up a level is nothing short of a miracle and is probably in part due to previous performances. We have a good gk and midfield as well as berra and in time lang. That said it'll need a decent rebuild at the back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisrush1471 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I wouldn't mind seeing us go for Jamie Hamilton since his contract is up, but imagine we'd have to pay a development fee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcglynn had the defence set up to aid our attack rather than solely focus on defending. That may not be how Murray wants us to play, so it gives him a relatively blank canvas to work with. I would absolutely have liked tumilty and musonda to stay though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRFC_Liam Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Is there any defenders released championship/Premiership level we could probably persuade to come and join, did see earlier apparently an RB from down south is touted to be coming In but we don’t know that for sure. I’m surprised he’s not signed anyone else yet with the first preseason game what almost 2 weeks away? Can he really get 2/3 CHs and a RB in that time plus Brad signed maybe by the end/beginning of next week and the focus on a striker last I reckon he would do 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These things move at a fast pace at this time of year. He hasn't even had the players he has in for a training session yet. There is no need to panic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirJimmyofNic Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Window opens on Friday, for all we know those positions may already be filled and nothings being said until they are registered, on the otherhand the pre season games will be running the rule over potential signing Either way, as Jonesy would say Dont Panic Lads 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
