New Season Signings

Who should Walter Smith be signing for the coming season.

Kenny Miller?  In my opinion, definately not.  He was not good enough for Celtic. He did very little at Derby.  I would not sign him even if Derby paid us to take him off their hands.

It was obvious from last season that we need players who are significantly better than some of our current crop.

David Weir was definitely struggling towards the end of the season.

Our midfield, apart from Ferguson, lacked energy, creativity and threat.  Too many of our players appear to be one dimensional.  By that I mean can pass, but can’t tackle and can’t shoot. Or can tackle but can’t pass and can’t shoot. Or can shoot, but can’t pass and can’t tackle.

We need players that can do all three, but just now I would settle for two out of three as an improvement.

Our forwards are in the same boat.  Kris Body can score goals, but little else.  Nacho Novo runs his heart out but is not an out and out goal scorer.  Jean Claude does a lot of huffing and puffing and can hold the line but again is not so effective in front of goal.  Daniel Cousin has ability but his attitude sucks.

If you watch Manchester United’s Wayne Rooney, Carlos teves, and Ronaldo, they do everything, they run arounhd as much as Novo, Score more goals that KB, and pass better than BF.  So we still need to work on how hard our players work for each other.

Apart from BF, very few players appear to have any real vision about what is going on around them.

So let us hope that we find some quality players who can do more than just tie their bootlaces.

Curent players who I would keep:

Alan McGregor, Carlos Cueller, Sasa Papac, Kevin Thompson, Barry Ferguson, Kris Boyd, Nacho Novo, Jean Claude.

So what is your opinion?
