Yes we let 19 players go and have only signed 7, but I suspect we'll get another 3 or 4 in.

 

That would only mean 

1 Striker
2 wingers
1 Centre Half 

Not enough for us to be competitive on all fronts from now till January.

We need 5 or even 6 more.

We've only signed 7 remember.

For context we signed 13 players last Summer, and it was widely acknowledged we had the smallest squad in the Premiership.
 

Fair enough, but of those we let go, Watt and Meshack were pumped out on loan, Newman never figured, Moult and Docherty spent a lot of time injured, Babunski rarely featured after about September. 

Are we including Paton and Campbell in these numbers? A boy from the crowd could've replaced either.

Of course, in an ideal world we build a squad were almost every pne in our XI has decent back up, but none of us know what the thinking is behind the scenes, we do seem to be overloading defence and midfield though.

I'm getting twitchy over our forward options, once we get these guys in then we'll see where we are.

I think it might be a case some of the younger lads will actually be part of the squad to be used, i'd rather we threw on O'Donnell than a Campbell type.

Top four finish, a Euro tie or two should be a bit of a money earner based on what budget we had last season, there's no reason the squad should be short.
