    1. Jonathas - Think he'd be outstanding here especially in Europe

    2. Mcgeady - not realistic I know, but again think he'd do really well in our current system

    3- Van Djik - Keeping him would be ideal I think him and boyata at the back would be solid

    4- John Souttar - Great potential would be a good back up if Biton or brown got injured.


    5- Hooper - Good link up play and poacher ... exactly what we need.


    I forget the name of the big centre back who plays in Ligue 1 (and couldn't spell it) ... but yeah if Van Djik left then he seems a great replacement

    Don't really think we need much if we keep VVD for the qualifiers I think we only need a striker to help get us through. Would love to see Hooper back.

    Especially when you factor in his connection with Stokes and Commons. I think people mainly want us shut of Lennon's players, though. I'd love him back personally.

    1. Hooper
    2. Denayer
    3. Kylian Hazard
    4. Terence Kongolo
    5. Chancel Mbeba

    Last two are very highly rated so probably the big Euro teams already have them marked up.

    He'd suit this one more than the style under Lennon. The guy would have a * field day with the amount of chances we create on average now and his link up play would enhance this formation and take it to the next level.

    Stevie May would probably cost as much as Hooper by this point, and Gary's the better footballer IMO.

    1-Wilson Palacios - on a free, experience , provides cover and variations in formation to 4-3-3.

    2. Scott Bain - Sign him loan him back to Dundee get back to learn from Gordon. Play him in the Cup competitions.

    3. Andreas Weimann is a great shout really rate him, but don't think it will happen tho, looks quite far on with Derby deal.

    4. Would take Souttar at 18 he looks like a good prospect. We would need another CB too tho.

    5. Assou Ekotto? He's without a club at the mo and could provide good experience and cover.

    Van Dijk, Izaguirre, Bitton, Johansen and Griffiths would be good back-up/competition for Wilson, Douglas, McGinn, Allan and May. Would possbly also think of signing Souttar and using Boyata as back-up :50:

    Im kidding you on for fucksake

    I think Ronny would be more than happy to adapt his current philosophy if it meant having a player of Berbatov's calibre at his disposal. Berbs would lord the SPFL, and give us a real attacking flair in Europe.

    Yes, you're right right: http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11787/2300942/bhoys-linked-with-berbatov

    I honestly don't think he would.

    Deila doesn't strike me as the kind of guy to sacrifice the other 10 players and his system working to the max, just for one player. No matter how good Berbatov once was, he's what, 34 now? Still got quality yes however it wouldn't happen.

    1. Brandon Mechele - If VVD goes, we'll need a good, preferably young(ish) ball-playing centre-back.

    2. Anthony Mounier - He has the potential to be an absolute coup for us. We need to add a bit more quality behind the striker.

    3. Jonathas - He looks like just the kind of striker for which Ronny's system is crying out. You'd hope his physicality and aggression would see him adapt to the Scottish game quite readily.

    4. Erick Gutierrez - He seems to be a v exciting prospect, and I actually think, for the first time in a long while, that we don't have a lot of depth at CM.

    5. Scott Bain - As a lot of us keep saying, signing a young keeper like this (and loaning him out until he's ready to succeed Gordon) would be a v prudent move.

    Add a left-back for depth and I'd be delighted with this window.
