    I think this is pretty much spot on although if we could sell on Bitton and Rogic, I'd be delighted to replace both. I also believe Commons has another season in him if just an impact player.

    You forgot Ciftci! Unless BR will be reassessing him.

    Personally I'd have:

    Gordon, Bailly, Fasan

    Lustig, Janko, Sviatchenko, Jozo, Boyata, Mulgrew, Tierney, New LB

    Brown, Bitton, McGregor, Henderson, Ajer

    Roberts, Rogic, Armstrong, Christie, Allan

    Griffiths, New

    -

    That's 23. I think Boyata is more than enough for SPFL, good 3rd choice CB and should still be improving.

    I'd be worried only having Tierney and Mulgrew as our LBs, so another needed.

    But really the super important priority is an alternative to Griffiths. Someone with a proven goalscoring record. I know that's not easy, so Cummings for me would be a good cheap buy (£1m?). Only 20 so lots of improvement to be made.

    Another left winger would also be nice, someone tricky, but other than that I can't find too much to fault in that 23.

    We badly need a new CB for Europe. You've got to build on a solid foundation, not Jozo - who's unproven and seems to have fitness problems, and Boyata who probably isn't good enough for Europe.

    Number one priority should be a quality CB so we can go into the UCL qualifiers with confidence.

    Can't understand why you'd be 'delighted' to replace Rogic?

    He's contributed far more than the likes of Armstrong in the past year or so. Biton you have an argument aye due to his form last year.

    Was just about to question that as well. Delighted?:97:

    He's easily been our best attacking midfielder this season.

    He has no hope running this club with a squade of 22..23....the amount of first team players we lose to long term injury will hamper that plan.

    Think people have very short memories on here. Biton done well in Europe considering he had Brown next to him (especially ajax away). Rogic has been scoring goals and assisting every 1/2 games he plays while pulling off the odd trick.

    Get rid of Bailly, Ambrose, Izaguirre, Boyata, Johansen, Forrest, Kazim, Ciftci, Scepovic, Cole.

    Keep: Gordon, Fasan , Simunovic, Mulgrew, Janko, Lustig, Sviatchenko, Tierney, Bitton, Brown ( :fear: ), Armstrong, Rogic, Mackay Stevens, Roberts, McGREGOR, Griffiths, Henderson and Darnell Fisher.

    Would only keep Stokes and Commons if there attitude is right, which it most probably isn't.:50:

    Players cleared out?

    Didn't want to make a new thread, so who has actually been (officially) released/sold? Stokes, CKR, Scep (?), Ciftci(?)...

    Only official departure I've seen is Stokes, not seen anything to say that Cole, Skepovic or Ciftci are away :54:
