    Need and will get a keeper. Rest depends on who stays and goes but a left winger/wing back.
    I think this will be a big opportunity for young guys like Connell, Dembele, Welsh and Henderson to prove themselves as important to the team.

    Mate, do you really think we'll be in a position to buy this summer? If Lawwell splashes the cash this summer, it will easily be the most surprising thing I've ever seen our board do.

    To answer your question: I think what we need is to sell several of our best players and drastically cut our wage bill to ensure we survive. Luckily, for once I have absolute confidence in the board to deliver. :giggle1:

    To be clear, I'm actually quite serious. The top 5 leagues can live off TV money; but Scottish clubs live off the fans and we're no exception. At the moment, being allowed to play in front of 60k next season is not looking likely at all. Whether behind closed doors or in front of socially distanced 15k crowds, either way, we will need to cut costs dramatically. I fully expect some clubs to go under here and not only small ones either.

    With one obvious exception across the city, I hope I'm wrong.

    That clown Michael Stewart has said that the clubs who have been relegated should get paid solidarity payments for being relegated. * that. If those kind of payments are to be made then get Sky to make them. After all, they * us over on the contracts all the time so should put something back.

    We need to trim/streamline squad to reduce wage bill. With a slimed down squad, we should see some game time for our exciting young talent.
    Need a keeper, left wing back.
    Expectations at next transfer window need to be realistic, sure we all have our wish list but I suspect we will loose about a dozen from first team squad.
    Actually, right now, if we were to loose that dozen, keep our big guns and get big FF, I would be content.

    I feel we will be one of the strictest country’s when it comes to lifting some lockdown restrictions. Can’t see 60k inside CP this year. Don’t think we will be buying much this summer and would sell our top asset if need be. Anything to make sure the famous Glasgow Celtic come out this as strong as they went in it financially. Would be devastated if someone like Eddy was sold but IF that needed to happen then we have no choice.

    I worry about how we trim the squad unless you sell good players. Getting shift of a dozen players seems almost impossible, even on loans we will struggle to get much back.

    I can see us picking up the 10% sell on from Dembele which will help. I think Ajer will leave for a start Hayes too Arzani back to city Bauer to Stoke Gordon to leave Mo to leave Ntcham and Shevd Throw in Ralston Hendry and Kouassi that is a lot off the top also at least 6 or 7 will leave from that list there maybe get in a CB and a goalie can't see much else. and we will continue to use our model of buy young sell high, with a few players coming back in to top up the squad maybe 3 or 4 most to come in but 11 or 12 out

    Just cannot see anyone willing to take the like of Ralston, Hendry and Kousssi, reckon we are stuck with them till end of their contracts.

    Kouassi out of contract in the summer think someone like a St Johnstone might take Ralston or a Dundee United a team like that he has done ok out on loan. Hendry I would give to anyone he can't have long left on his contract tbh maybe a season
