Starting 11 next season

That's just a tad exaggerated mate :icon_mrgreen:

I'd fancy our chances of getting Russell if he was a hun.

 

Forster

Matthews - Mulgrew - Rogne - Izzaguirre

Brown - Kayal - Ledley/Wanyama - Commons

Hooper/Stokes/Russell - Samaras​

 

I think that's our strongest XI with the current squad. I'd like to see a new striker and centre-half bought in the summer.

 

Ledley at LMF is a no.

Offers nothing.

 

GK-forster/zaluska

RB-matthews/lustig
CB-rogne/wanyama
CB-mulgrew/new guy
LB- izzy/mulgrew/ledley

RW-new out and out winger/forrest/brown
CM-kayal/wanyama/brown

Forrest has shown he isn’t fit to handle a full season. He’s also posted missing in many big games, whereas Brown, for whatever his shortcomings, is always willing to drive the team on.

 

Hopefully something like:

GK: Forster

RB: Matthews/Lustig
CB: Rogne/Wanyama
CB: Mulgrew/Fojut
LB: Izaguirre/Dixon/Mulgrew

RM: Forrest/Brown/New Winger
CM: Kayal/Wanyama/Brown
CM: Ledley/Ki/McGeouch
LM: Forrest/Sammy/McCourt/Ibrahim

ST: Stokes/Sammy
ST: Hooper/New Guy

My chosen starting XI:

Forster
Matthews Rogne Mulgrew Izaguirre
Brown Kayal Wanyama Forrest
Hooper Stokes

​

 

1.Forster

2. Matthews
25. Rogne
21. Mulgrew
3. Izzy

8.Brown
33. Kayal
?. new creative cm
9.Samaras

88.Hooper
?. new cf in the mould of big jan or would be happy with rhodes

 

that should change with age though. getting his first full season relatively injury free will have done him good. although i agree with the big game issues, but we have to hope and expect that the coaches and james will be able to change that.

 

get foster signed up,dixon from utd,decent cb,creative midf,left winger,target man striker

 

I'd be perfectly happy if we just signed Gary Mackay-Steven and Jordan Rhodes in the summer. Johnny Russell and a new centre-back if I'm being greedy.

 

I think we've missed the boat with Rhodes, tbh. Although, Russell and GMS are definitely within range and would represent good value, imo. I have real faith in those boys to go on and have good careers - perhaps cause they seem like down to earth lads without the baggage of someone like Goodwillie. Signing those two AND Rhodes would be incredible.

 

Lustig - Rogne - Mulgrew - Izzy

Brown - Kayal - Ledley - Sammy

Stokes - Hooper

Bench
Commons
Matthews
Wanyama
Forrest
Twardzik/McGeouch/George/Bangura

 

Goalkeepers: Forster, Zaluska, New 3rd choice

Full Backs: Matthews, Lustig, Izaguirre, New LB Back up

Center Backs: Muldini, Rogne, Fojut, K Wilson, New CB

Wingers: Forrest, Commons, Ibrahim, New Back Up

Center Mids: Kayal, Ledley, Broony, Wanyama, F Twardzik, McGeough

Strikers: Hooper, Stokes, Samaras, Bangura, Keatings, Watt

Cervi, Cha, Maj and Loovens are all out of contract and I'd let them go

M Wilson also out of contract and sadly I think he'll go

Cash in on McCourt and Ki, both great players but don't seem to fit in the team well

 

Cos we don't have one capable of playing upfront on his own which is required at times especially in europe.sammy can play it but we know sammy blows hot and cold

 

Why on earth would you keep mccourt and sell commons?

 

Prefer mccourt to commons, commons has been utter pish this season, mccourt has been better and he hasn't played as much

 

Forster

Matthews Rogne Mulgrew Izzy

Forrest Kayal Ki Wanyama Ledley

New Striker​

 

forrest has been one of our best players this season. Thats also bullshit that hes been posted missing in the big games as he was our best offensive threat against rangers in the game we won and didn't play in the two old firms we lost. He was also one of our best players agaisnt udinese away.
