Glad to see the Turnbull transfer fall through. I like Turnbull, think he has had a good season and has a load of potential but his wage demands were steep. Good luck to him but I think if he was clever he should have joined us, improve his performance and skills and in a few years look for that bigger contract. Celtic to me would have allowed him to grow on a good wage and would have given him the perfect platform to test himself in the champions league etc and gain a winning mentality. We move on though and to be frank we have other positions that are more pressing. Midfield and the wings ain't bad but right back, centre half and left back are required more urgently. I would fire in a bid for Taylor (Killie) for left back. I think he would help Tierney push to new levels and I don't think he would cost an arm and a leg. Probably a problem recruiting here though as most players know they are going to be understudy for Tierney with perhaps leaves options rather limited. I think we should definitely be looking for a solid centre half and right back. Most of our budget should be spent in these two key areas.

I agree that Taylor is not the swashbuckling sexy signing most of us crave but my thinking was Tierney has that position nailed and as long as he isn't sold I think he would be decent back up without costing an arm and a leg. If Tierney is sold then it is a different ball game. For number 1 left back I'd expect a much better signing but I am hoping Tierney stays for at least another season. A decent understudy for him would allow for rest breaks in the cups or easier league games. The bigger hitters in this squad are playing a power of games because the squad as a whole is terribly lopsided and the back up is pure pish. I think a few solid signings for the problem positions and strong young up and coming squad players is the best we can hope for.
