Bagged a goal today, penalty. Would be nice to pick up some sell on this month!

Can we assume left sided central defender? while another wide midfield player would be nice, we have Morris topi and okkels now, and attacking center mid I’m actually intrigued to see if pape can be a decent 10 with competition from clarkson. A number 9 is essential in this window, but the rest can be summer. as for going out, Macdonald, duk, McGrath this window, maybe Mackenzie?? Ambrose out on loan?

Ha, wrote this post above but didn’t post, never saw Rico’s post until now. Think mcgarry gets the participation trophy, he’s trying. I’ll also second that I hope duk goes asap, lost my patience with him long ago. Head down and dribble was unacceptable about 18 months ago, guy is dumb as rocks.

I think it’s easy to pick holes at mcgarry as we all know he’s not very good, but recently he’s been terrified to push forward. Thought he played more on the front foot today and got up the park, but obviously that leaves space behind. You expect that and it happens with Makenzie too. That’s what covering defenders are for, plus the holding mids. I’d rather he played this way than played scared, and I’d rather play him who is trying than Mackenzie who is clearly off his game and either unsettled or focused on a move away and a new known or unknown club.

Agree on that. I’ll get shot down but I’d be inclined to play him over an incredibly off form Mackenzie and until our left back situation is resolved, either with a new signed contract or new signing.

I wouldn’t say we were garbage. Thought we were pretty solid at the back but, especially in the second half, very poor going forward. If we are to play a 4-2-3-1 we need a 10 between the two holding and the forward who is attack minded and always wanting the ball in an attacking central position. Clarkson and McGrath aren’t involved enough for me in that area. We also need a 9 that makes defenders think twice. Miovski forced two central defenders to sit and even make the full backs think twice about pushing on. Our forwards cause so little concern, plus I hate that we drop so deep, almost having no 9. thought tobers looked decent plus I wouldn’t mind seeing polvara given a run in center mid with shinnie or palaversa. Although I think last year he also did ok as the attacking central mid, maybe give him a run there?

As Stevie tosh pointed out towards the end, we have no forwards. No no 9/attacking threat up top. Makes so many things harder as a result. not a bad game, at least stops the rot. oh, nae a bad save to be fair!

Ffs

Getting close to Peter Ambrose time! 1-0 the big loon!

I’d yank nisbet for Morris and put topi up top, mobile and aggressive, he needs a goal and he’s much more dangerous than nisbet. Morris will give a good attacking option plus make penrice think twice about pushing so far forward.

Decent game. We clearly lack a presence at 9.

Sivert at the back id assume, mcgarry replacing a leaving Mackenzie??

Happy with that. Came at a tough time where shinnie is our captain and sivert is the first signing and clearly JTs guy. I’d say if you’re first choice it’s easier to settle and he’s been in and out. But he has talent and I would not be surprised to see him start over shinnie consistently, as much as I like Shinnie.

So what we’re really saying is that we signed Christian toblerone?

Other than Alex Jensen, any other names we’re looking at? Any star striker out there packing bags and heading to pittodrie??

Keeper devlin-Tobers-polvara-mackenzie McGrath-sivert-palaversa-okkers shinnie Keskinnen please. 2-1 us, Shinnie, Okkels.

100% - ideally 3-4 starters minimum are Scottish, we are a Scottish team. Feel this way about all teams, need to have a home core. (Downfall of man utd if you ask me fwiw). But it’s incredibly hard to get value for money with Scottish players.

Work permit needed I believe, no clue how long that takes these days.

Looks like we aren’t fucking around and clearly addressing needs. Obviously these guys look good on paper but they aren’t lower league English players, Anthony Stewart types. Decent reputation, a player jimmy knows, plus an international captain. Would be good to get Jensen who appears able to play right and left back. certainly keen to sign a new 9.

Given the time maybe he’s dreaming and sleep posting?

Read he left elfborg for 3 million but was then injured. Got to Preston then they immediately changed managers and the new/current managers plays without wingers so doesn’t fit the system. At least we’ve got a player who knows our manager and his system, plus has played with sivert so has some comfort/familiarity.

Keskinen plays mainly right mid, only played left relatively recently. I’d say that was cos we were shite and trying to get a winning formula.

From what I read versatile player who plays mid or either full back, exactly what we need.

According to Wikipedia, and I know it may not be reliable, jeppe okkels is 8ft 5. Huh.
