Ahh, the old west of Scotland issue again.....

It’s been 10 weeks since we got the top 6. It’s been 5 weeks since we qualified for Europe.

In that time we released 10 first team members: Benji, Sporle, McDonald, Hoti, Levitt, McNulty, Harkes, Neilson, Biamou, Carson.

Apart from Levitt, all other 9 are easy replaced and the club would’ve known for months they were on the way out.

Why wasn’t work done in January?

All we’ve heard is we failed to sign Alan Forrest and we were living in cuckoo land trying to get Levitt back.

Piss poor from the club so far.

Totally agree

We seemed to start negotiations on renewals quite late and then were told of a meeting in March/ April to identify targets for next season by which time you have missed some of the players moving under freedom of contract.

Harkes still has not signed and even if he does it seems to be a 1 year extension.

Left sided centre half is the bottom of our list for summer signings I’d have thought

IMHO our top priorities are:

Big striker
Winger
Defensive midfielder x 2
Goalkeeper
Striker with pace

Would also be good if we signed:

Attacking midfielder/N10
Left back/wing back

This is assuming Harkes signs a new deal.

Need at least 4 attackers, who all offer something different we are so one dimensional it’s unreal, Clark and watt both drop deep, immi just runs about and try’s hard (James Milner esq) and offers v little going forward and that’s about all we have atm, we have no idea if chalmers will step up after his good loan spell

Midfield wise we have meekison and harkes, midfielders needed

Defensively we need a right sided centre half

And a goalie to challenge the Finland lad

Heard Danny Mullen will be Jack Ross’s first signing, Ross signed him previously when he was at St Mirren.

 
An ex funster with a 1 goal every 5 games record, uninspired to say the least

Not too enthralled either.  Could be shite, someone just said they’d heard about it and posted in a WhatsApp group I’m in.

 
Apparently it's a funster who posted it on Mad, might be pinch of salt stuff tbh, fucking hope so!

Hope this ain't true.

We need to move our recruitment up a level and this lad showed absolutely nothing when we played them.

I've got my fingers crossed this pre-season for some real quality coming in, particularly in the forward areas.

Go and see if Shankland fancies it or someone of that ilk.

Danny Mullen Faf, surely cannot be true

Mullen signing on Wednesday is the word.

 
Scott Burns rubbished that rumour weeks back and I believe the rumour resurfaced from a well known bluenose on Mad? So might need a pinch of salt with that one.

Surely no - yet another journeyman/pool player
