    LB, CB and a big * in the middle has to be the priorities

    We're far to 'nice' as a team

    I want to keep him but it might not be our choice mate, he might want to go to an english club, hopefully not though.

    Ah I see :50:

    * knows what he would cost seen £2m, £6m and also rising to £10m. Having a good season last year In the champ is a bit of a * for us as he will be knowing down there especially to teams coming up to PL. it’s 50/50 to me whether he stays or goes so not getting my hopes but will be delighted if he signs!!

    When you watch a performance like today, you realise we’ve got miles to go.

    We’ve only really seen Angeball in very fleeting moments against good teams.

    Massive improvement needed in central midfield we need guys with pace and strength that can last 90 minutes.

    We need to stop passing about at the back all the time yeah sometime, I love playing from the back bit there's nothing wrong with getting away up into the far corner when your under pressure, we caused our own problems at times playing to many touches in our box, I'm sure I had a wee heartattack

    LB, CB, DM, CAM, RW minimum for me in the summer.

    And we need at least 2 of those players to have some height. CB and DM the obvious ones.

    I think its quite clear where our weak links are.

    Biggest thing for me will be improving what we have. This side never had a pre-season and are playing an extremely challenging and tactical system. Individuals can be improved (LB, RW the main priorities) but the biggest thing will just be getting better at the system. These players are capable they just need time to work at it.

    Also key that we sign CCV and Jota ofcourse. Otherwise that's another two to buy on top of those I mentioned before.

    Keeping them and adding quality will he key to doing anything in Europe.

    We really need to show something next season on the continent...if not in the CL as that's a big ask at least in the europa.

    Seen * Ofir Marciano playing for feyenoord in the conference semi final vs Marseille ffs.

    Agree with this.

    The aim must now be to assemble a squad that can compete in Europe.
    The above positions are critical, we need to get it right in the summer.

    We need to bulk up the squad with a solid centre mid, left back, centre back.

    We've too many midfielders as it is, need to ship some out before getting more in.

    No he was on the bench yesterday. But he’s only recently returned from injury so he may be being eased back in now.

    Id go for Siegrist, Solbakken and Bodo lb as actual specified players.

    If julien is off then 2 cbs, if not then 1.

    A bully boy in midfield.

    The amount Id sell would be mental and Id take anything.

    Outwith a few youngsters Id probably sell anyone who isnt around the match squads, and Id probably still sell guys like MJ, mccarthy and bain who are.

    Without getting into personnel and positions;

    General fitness, decision making both in the final 3rd and when on the ball at the back, bravery in the tackle and the application of plan b or c.

    Not saying that's all bad but it could all be better, some of it more so than others.

    A sweeper keeper to challenge Hart, we need competition and better back up in every position, including GK..

    LB, is a must and maybe even another full back who can play both sides, difficult to find tho..

    If CCV signs another CB, maybe 2 if Jullien leaves, if we don't get CCV, we could be looking at 3... don't rate Welsh at all..

    We have 3 DMs in McCarthy, Bitton and Guchi, doesn't look like any are close to starting, say a CL game for us.. not giving up on Guchi and Bitton has played a part times but we need to add real quality there.. a DM that is aggressive, effective and excellent on the ball..

    Again depends on Jota, but would be looking at add another winger/striker even if he stays..

    Hope Ange is ruthless with what he wants and what he needs to get rid of.. he's had two amazing windows so far, but the next window is really important if we are to continue to improve..

    Totally agree with that but I would also love to see a couple of big tall athletic ball winners included in our recruitment for next season. Hopefully Ange is fully backed by the board
