    Not counting our chickens but it looks like 8 is almost done and in the bag. What do we need in the squad to give us the best chance of securing history.

    Brendan Rodgers to stay at the helm, is paramount.

    Scott Brown as Captain.
    KT as Vice Captain.

    Those are the three most important things.

    GK
    Bain (Happy with him as No1)
    New Signing
    Hazard

    RB
    New Signing
    Ralston
    Perez

    CB
    Ajer
    Simunovic
    New Signing
    New Signing

    LB
    KT
    New Signing
    Hayes

    CM
    Brown
    McGregor
    Christie
    Ntcham
    Kouassi
    Henderson
    Bitton

    Wingers/No10
    Forrest
    Rogic
    Sinclair
    Arzani
    Johnston
    Morgan
    Shved

    Strikers
    Edouard
    Griffiths
    Bayo
    Weah(another year hopefully)
    Burke(would love it but can’t see it)


    Think it’s clear where we need to invest and it’s clear we need a clear out of some deadwood too.

    Rodgers to stay.

    I know we've signed Bayo, but I think we might need another striker in the Dembele mould. Though I accept that's going to be difficult.

    Would love to sign Burke and Weah, even if it were only for another year on loan.

    Patrick Roberts on a perm.

    We really do need a RB. A quality RB could make such a difference to our play down the right, which often breaks up because Lustig just isn't dynamic enough.

    We need two CBs given that Boyata is off in the summer and we're not getting Benkovic.

    A replacement for Rogic - love him but he's not a player you can rely on. Simply put, he misses too many games per season, whether it's through injury or international duty.

    In my view, if we get into the CL group stages this season coming, then we're a stick-on for 10iar and beyond.

    Weve got money and weve got the manager so were in a pretty strong position to try achieve our goals.

    Were always going to bring in loans each season , it allows the manager to get a higher level of player that may be out of our reach otherwise, but there also has to be a higher level of investment in a few positions on permanents.

    I look at that squad and think even with Burke gone, if we have Weah for another season we will have a great attack with Griff, Edouard and Bayo. Another striker will have to come in 2020. The midfield is very strong, if anyone goes it will be Ntcham but I see no other big sells.
    With 3 defenders needed I am sure at least 1 of the positions will be covered by a loan. We need to be willing to spend £10m minimum combined for a rb and a CB.

    Ill be * if KT plays 60 games in 2 years time and brown lifts it from an at best bit part role on the bench.
    Its won tho imo. This was the huns only chance of a race nevermind a title and they * it. Brendan leaving and unsmooth transition is the only hope they have of us * it because at this point its only us that can mess it up.

    For those who are in love.....
    Bain
    New keeper
    Hazard or Doohan to be promoted

    New right back
    Perez
    Ralston

    2 new centre halves
    Probably a loan as well so maybe even 3
    Ajer
    Simunovic

    KT
    New adequate backup left back
    Church

    New box to box midfielder
    Broony
    McGregor
    Christie
    Rogic
    Shved
    Henderson

    Forrest
    Arzani
    Weah
    Sinclair
    Johnston
    Okoflex

    Edouard
    Griff
    Bayo

    About a 25 man squad with some added academy player's..

    Didn't add player's i believe won't be here next season..

    A top right back. At least 1 top centre half and an energetic quality box to box midfielder and I think we'll be looking good next year..

    Shved. Bayo. Griff back. KT fit. Rogic. Arzani for a proper full season. Weah back and improving. Some of our academy player's coming on in Johnston/Henderson and co..

    Just needs to be smart business and we'll no doubt delve in to the loan marker again but smart signings in key area's required..

    Said all that and barely touched the attack. We've shown in this window that an injection of pace in attack can really do the damage so as long as we're no short again like the 6 month's pre January then the 10 is on..

    I reckon 2 more league titles after this one will seal it, personally :36:



    I know I'm being a smart * *, but JC nailed it in the OP so what he said...

    Arguably this summer we will need a significant rebuild/investment. So many loans will be leavin and weak areas of the team need strengthened. Because of this I get the feeling BR may leave but if he gets assurances he will be backed he'll stay, but we know how tight our board are. But the level of strengthening needed is so evident.
    The defence is the key area. If that's not sorted, I fear the worst. Boyata will go so will Benko prob. Lustig is done and the past 2 games Toljan has been pish (even if there was an option to buy, I wouldn't take it) That's the priority. However, other areas need adddressed. Don't need to necessarily spend the big bucks but defo need to shift out the * and bring in the quality over quantity that BR has been banging on about.
    As always, I hope...but more than likely, as per.

    When we do 10, what do people think our next goal should be? keep the run going as long as possible, honestly, I think once we do 10, the huns will be dead on their feet, what is our next set of ambitions?

    Once we do the 10 I’d like us to get the * out of the Scottish league, nothing left for us here.
    No point hanging around the same bar if you’ve already shagged all the burds there!
