bpdon Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 It's too early to pass judgment, but I am pleased with our transfer activities since the end of last season. Relative to the 2 or 3 windows prior, we have carried out some very promising business in recent months.Despite the "tooling up" talk, we do have limited resources and a difficult corporate back drop. To expect every perceived weakness in the team to be tackled in one window is fantasy stuff.We have managed to shuffle the pack and addressed a number of areas. With a bit of flexibility, some luck with injuries and form, i would argue Deek has covered the bases pretty well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpdon Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Really don't want to get ahead of myself but this lad looks like a great signing. Great eye for a pass and looks like he can actually take set pieces which will help us. We should play him in front of Jack and Shinnie in the midfield. Aye, his yootoob montage shows him pretty well - looks like he has a few tricks and some defence splitting talents. If he is a £6M player as reported by BBC, then Deek has played a blinder to get him here.I expect it's Kenny McLean he will challenge in the number 10 slot. With Hayes back in training, we have some very positive looking options and competition in the attacking third. Hopefully Deek can figure out how to get them clicking and keep them all happy.Another O'Connor would have been nice. But we have to assume that one from McLean & Storie will be able to fill in for Jack leaving O'Connor free to play at the heart of defence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTG_03 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I would like to see shinnie at left back. He's good in midfield but brilliant at left back.I'd go something like this LewisLogan oconnor Reynoldsshinnie Jack storieMcginn maddison Hayes Rooney With a bench of Taylor, mclean, burns, storey and Pawlett. It's a pretty strong side. Plenty options 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_14 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I'd say that's our best team as well, assuming Maddison lives up to the hype. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BucksburnDandy Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Nice to get young Maddison in, but I don't think Shinnie will be moving out of central midfield anytime soon. He's more mobile and attacking than O'Connor, and Reynolds appears to prefer Considine to his left sat in than Shinnie who gets forward far better. At home, Shinnie in left back would work pretty well, helping break down negative teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stockley looked really effective in the Euro games but seems to have faded domestically. I still think he has something to offer.I'm fairly sure Deeks preference will be to stick with Andy at LB and Shinnie in midfield instead of Storie. Especially whilst Jack is injured. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmothecat Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 The Rangers fans are genuinely angry about this on social media. Considering it isn't trolling but accurate it makes their reaction all the more bizarre.Rangers fans let their club die. They know it, we know it, we all know it but they seem to like to pretend they didn't. It's as if they are trying really hard to pretend it didn't happen, if they say it enough times perhaps, maybe, just maybe, they will be able to convince themselves it didn't happen. But it did, and they know it did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lubo_blaha Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 A year ago today we beat Celtic with 10 men to go two points clear with a game in hand, on our way to winning our all of our first 8 games.We don't have anything like the form and feel good factor we had then. Massive three games coming up, there'll be a big fallout if we get a negative result in any of them imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm a sighting of Callum Morris playing for the under 20's last Tuesday against the Rangers at Peterhead. Yet to make the first team bench, if I am not mistaken. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d31 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 would be good to see Storey get a start this weekend - would show good use of the squad over the last few weeks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
