Elliot. CB? O’Ware LB? CM? McCarthy RW? Erskine. LW? Doolan No Spittal? As he is staying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Time to face facts and acknowledge that Doolan and Erskine will be nowhere close to playing every game this coming season. If we can shift the transfer listed players we will have plenty of space in the playing budget to rebuild the squad. Alexander and Halkett would be positive additions, imo. So we need a Gk, LB, 2 CBs, 2 CMs, 2 attacking wide players and a centre forward minimum. Alexander Halkett Paton or even Chris Millar Gavin Reilly to kick us off. I wonder if it would be worth at getting someone like Gordon Greer at KFC on board? Not sure if we'd have a chance of Calvin Miller on loan from Celtic to fill the left back role? Interesting times!

I think tho' he could play a sort of "Ross Forbes" type role but we'd require nippy players around him to compensate for his lack of pace.

allyo Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 I think you could comfortably throw Penrice and Spittal in there, unless I've missed something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulo Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 Hearts are doing some strange business this summer. I don't see why Penrice can't be a starter. Played half a season for Livi and bossed it. I would hope to see him and McCarthy get a chance to stake their claim as first picks this season. Jagfox is right about Dools and Erskine. We can't rely on their fitness so the quality of backup/competition in those areas becomes very important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Murray Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 Alexander and Halkett would be excellent but will they really drop a division? As people are saying above both Penrice and McCarthy will be looked upon as first picks this year. Hopefully both can kick on from last season. Frans would be great in the championship but is best next to a more mobile center back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point as I don't believe mobility is one of O'Ware's strengths. Slow distribution rather than real mobility problems was Frans's most glaring weakness but I wouldn't mind seeing him back. Would suggest if he signs for either United or County we either weren't in the hunt for him or didn't value him highly rather than being simply outbid. He was very happy in Glasgow and certainly has a strong affinity for the Club. Don't see him joining either of those clubs on the back of a marginally better wage.

Penrice played half a season in midfield for Livi, pairing him and McCarthy as our 2 center midfielders is way to risky as they have less than 30 first team games between them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allyo Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 (edited) Also i don't think the fact that he played in midfield for Livi means he couldn't play last back for us. Edited June 7, 2018 by allyo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame tho' it isn't the week before as we could've made a real weekend of it and taken in a crash course in anthropology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly not ready at that time - he developed later on in the season and then Archie played him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
