    The posters with Kuhn and Maeda in their 11s for next season will be back to the drawing board in July.

    Not to be too "that's the spirit" but I'm dreading it tbh, the squad does need a refresh, but I've seen this movie too many times before where the squad has glaring weaknesses and/or the manager says he wants X,Y,Z and we either don't get it at all or just don't get it to a satisfactory level.
    Hoping I'm wrong.

    He'd get a far better move than Kyogo got at this stage, though.

    Probably, but if Kyogo's only managed 120 minutes of league football with Rennes, it might show him that the grass isn't always greener

    Quite looking forward to this..

    Think there'll be a few goals. Fancy Kenny with his pace, energy and endeavour to trouble that pish sheep back line and our front 3 in general actually to open them up with Schlupp bombing on and McGregor and McCowan capable..

    Edit: Wrong thread ffs, no sure how to swap it..

    I think yesterday's game may have thrown plans of recruitment into a bit of chaos. Could Rodgers decide he's fine with Nawrocki as 4. choice CB? Yang is not going anywhere, I'd think.

    So much deadwood in the squad who are nowhere good enough for the first team. A defining summer ahead in terms of ins and outs.

    We need about 8 first team players.

    1 DMF.
    1 AMC.
    1 LW,
    1RW.
    1 CF.
    1 CB.
    1 LB.

    Could easily shift out half a dozen as well.

    Let's be honest the squad will be bloated to * again come pre season!

    All the loan players back. For me we need to gut the club top to bottom.

    Nicholson gone
    Lawwell gone
    Tisdale gone
    Rodgers gone
    Kennedy gone
    Strachan gone

    Only players I would keep

    Sinisalo
    Johnston
    CCV (suspect he will go)
    McGregor
    Daizen (if signs a new deal)
    Jota

    Rest (Reo will be leaving) can get to absolute * never celtic class.

    Also dont give Rodgers a * copper coin btw if by some miracle the * still In charge come next season he cannot spot a player at all.

    £60m wasted on absolute * in 4 windows. Get the place gutted we are in a shocking state for the resources we have and it starts from the very * top!

    Talk about an over reaction. Are you a sore loser? One game lost and it's get rid of the lot. Get some perspective. Go for a walk or something. We have won 4 of the last 6 trophies available to us. Improved drastically this year in Europe and have invested in the team pretty heavily. Probably need 3 new players going into next season, a centre back, a creative midfielder and a striker. Hardly the end of the world.

    Give your head a wobble.

    Won 5 away games since December
    Lost on penalties to a team who gave won 5 out last 27 in league.
    Scraped past a poor huns team in league cup
    Beat huns 1 time in 90 mins this season
    Ended with a negative goal difference in matches against huns
    £60m on dross in 4 windows

    I want them gone and wont go back until the place is gutted.

    Spineless and clueless today.

    Warning signs been there for months!

    No need to overreact over one game. That said, I think we should upgrade on Idah and Bernardo. I'd be inclined to sell both of them for the right price.

    Hatate is so underrated. He's our most creative central midfielder. We struggle to create chances without him, especially since we also miss Jota.

    With our resources and "elite manager" we should be beating a team who set out for penalties from minute 1 and won 5 out their last TWENTY * SEVEN league matches and our B team * beat 5-1 ten days ago!

    You realise when I say first team players, I mean players who can compete with the starting eleven and slot in seamlessly when needed.

    Then factor in the real possibility of losing players like CCV, Kuhn, Hatate and Maeda. There's more that could go though.

    LB x1
    CB x2
    CM x2
    RW x1
    LW x1
    ST x1

    There's 8 for you there.

    Today showed up the squad.

    To end a cup final with guys like Scales, McCowan, Kenny, Yang and even Forrest (purely given his age and role over the season) trying to save you is worrying.

    We need a refresh. Folk might not want to admit it but I worry that going into next season without 6 minimum new first team players will see us stagnate. Some players have definitely reached the end of their cycle here.
