In sorry mate but that team just isn't good enough its a weaker side than we already have I've said this before its about replacing the players that leave with as good or better players!
we are crying out for a big commanding Centre half and a play making midfielder that can open up a defence one pass. Even a wide left midfielder.
Russell- maybe
goncalves I find it strange that he not good enough to get a game for Rio Ave but people think he's good enough for us!
Austin- Burnley will want to much for him
Green is on

Green from qpr is a bombscare, griffiths too much of field bad baggage we'll end up out priced for both rhodes and austin (hope not), vigurs and concalves no thanks both pi** russell will he improve our attack? gershon needs game time between now and season end.

Goncalves has done well against us a couple of times this season so saying a pish player can make us look bad is slagging us. from what I've seen he is a decent player who would b worth a punt.

I agree with @1) Wee need to aim higher and improve the squad. We will sign Kevin Doyle who I know no one seems to fancy but he will be a success! I hope Russell and Mackay-Steven are signed. Getting Ledley on a new contract is essential. Agree that we are desperate for a commanding centre half, it been the case for years in my opinion. The centre of our defence is rotten and has been since before even Caldwell and McManus. It's been the weekest part of our team for an age.

OH NO! IS TONY MOWBRAY BACK TO RIP THE SQUAD APART? some INS would be nice russell, concalves as for outs only murphy I expect to leave and IF the price is right hooper H. H

Why should we be out priced for Rhodes/Austin. We will be getting 6m for hooper and possibly 12 for wanyama. Where is this money gonna? we should be able to spend at least half of it. Lawwell will not be able to pull the wool over the fans eyes this summer with the huge amount of money we will be bringing in, there will be no excuses when the fans know the money is there!

@3 how is saying concalves pis* slagging us? it doesn't take much too look good against our defence adam mathews is the only one worth keeping, concalves would be a bench warmer at best he just ain't good enough and certainly not any better than what we have.

Robert Green? You feeling awryt pal?

Of course slagging someone who has made us look bad is also slagging ourselves. our defence hasn't been great domestically but getting rid of everyone bar mathews ain't the sensible thing to do. in europe which is a significantly higher level our defence looked decent except juve at home so it might be more to do with attitude than ability

I see the usual comments about who is going and who is coming in. The quality being suggested are not up to inproving the squad for the champions league. so here is my contribution,

Out Hooper, possibily Wanyama for cash, Rogne, Murphy, Miku, McCourt, Stokes, Gershon ( has not played enough for a contract) all of these are at the end of their contracts.

In Jonnsen ( look at how he handled Ibrahanavic in the Malmo PSV game), Hanley ( looked our best player last night) Alonso ( we need a defensive LB) Rojas ( has better fitness than Mackay-Stevens) Russell ( is one for the future) Rhodes ( should have been here in the summer) and Cornilius (look at his goal scoring for Copenhagan) and a ball playing passing midfielder all thoughfull replies welcome

Definitely Rojas. Plays left or right, runs all day. Has a beautiful shot. Young, cheap and full of ambition.

Hope yer kiddin about hanley the boys atrocious scored a good header but apart from that he was shocking lucky not 2 get 2 yellow cards aswel we need 2 aim a lot higher than hanley fs

Hope so with Alonso quality left back not sure about the rest. Personally I think Makay-Stevens should be our to target best left mid I have seen in Scotland.

Forgive me for not having seen a Malmo PSV game, but who is this Jonnsen chap? Did yo somehow put *Ibrahimovic into that equation as well? Definitely not Hanley for me, not for the first team anyway. I'd be happy with the rest though.

Pontus jannsun or eric johannson?, hanley is a carthorse, alonso don't know much, mcay stevens ahead of samaras, commons or holding back paul george?, ledley mulgrew can operate there so direct money to another area, rojas never seen but also plays left wing /mid, russell rhodes and cornelius would be great I also think we could get russell and cornelius for the same price or less than rhodes, but a point to remember out of the last 10 signings we have only spent money on one (i posted about this before but it never appeared, but look at kerrydale street celtic wiki transfers in and out ),,, deep river bhoy

Hanley is a truly appalling defender. friday just confirmed what I know. no pace. no clue. just a hatchet

Arsenal linked with cornellius, good bet a few others are watching too, can only see his fee growing bigger and may be priced out.
