    I'm just very unforgiving after last season, another who couldn't be arsed to even get fit... look if the manager gives him a chance so be it but I'm not sure this fella is remotely interested..

    I just watched a video of their striker scoring a hat trick and it looks anything but a good level. Then again, I don't know if short videos do much justice.

    But holy * the defending.

    Seemed to always be moaning and one huffy, miserable * who couldn't get fit..

    Rumours he was a bit of a bad egg behind the scene's and can't mind exactly but he was left out of Pittodrie all together for it by all account's under Kennedy..

    He did, no doubt but we could all see there had been a dressing room rift from the outside.

    If Griff is shown the door this summer (as he should) then I think Ange might give Ajeti the pre-season games to see what he's working with. Wouldn't surprise me to see him play much better than what he showed last season.

    Lennon buying him then persisting with 2 up top with no wide men or decent full backs was baffling. He needs balls whipped in from out wide to attack.

    Aye we may see a different player. Would be welcome if he was. No doubt we didn't play to his strengths..

    If he's still struggling to get fit or acting up though...get him to *..

    We need more quality up top. No sure how he'd react to say a couple of quality striker's being signed..

    There's no doubt we didn't play to Ajeti's strengths last year, but the guy constantly dived, was unfit for large periods of his tenure and there were rumours about his attitude behind the scenes.

    If we can get £3 million for him I'd honestly punt him

    Oh aye, any strops from any *....out on their *.

    Really hope we go for a clean break and get shot of Kennedy & Strachan. There should be a new atmosphere about the club and I don't think you can get that with their ugly coupons skulking about Lennoxtown.

    I would say your likely going to get your wish. I would not be surprised if we see double digits in terms of first team players leaving and new signings coming in by the time the summer window is done. I wish Postecoglou nothing but the best but I really fear for him as the job on his hands is monumental considering how many players he will need to find and sign given how many are likely to leave and then he has to gel what will be an almost completely new team together and do it all but at once. I hope he can do it but at this point if he is able to win the title in his first season considering how much he is going to have to overcome then I will be surprised.

    100%. All bad egg's like Ntcham, Edouard, Griffiths etc out..

    It'll be a disgrace if they're kept on. Let Ange bring his own team in..

    I haven't watched the interview yet but interesting he's said about working on targets for week's..

    Hopefully well before... the window doesnt shut until end august.

    Ok for epl clubs or those fine tuning an already settled squad... but we need it sorted ASAP or we not only won’t have a hope in Europe ... but could struggle to make an impact early in domestically.

    I'm really really trying to find something positive. Finally watched the interview and he does seem a likeable chap. I pray to * I'm wrong and he works wonders.

    A bit like that unwanted Christmas present that you try to ignore, but after time don't mind it or even like it......I hope thats what happens with me and Ange.

    I agree with you which is why I am not at all optimistic about our chances next season given how much needs to happen so quickly.

    Pretty obvious there was more going on behind the scenes than we know about last season. For that reason, I would give everyone a fresh chance. Easy to say that they should have been bursting their hole to get a chance but it obviously isn't that easy when you're constantly overlooked.

    He commentated on our European games though. When we were absolutely abysmal. If that had been under Deila, Sutton would have slaughtered him.

    We can't afford a LW, when the whole attack and defense need revamped. Also, Johnstone is a player Postecoglou will want to utilize- a fast dribbler.

    Also, a GK will not happen, as the existing two are ball-playing keepers, and that's what Postecoglou wants. We'll ship loads of goals.
