Hi Ed, you heard of we’re actually going to look at bringing in another CF and Midfielder in this window? .

{Ed007's Note - There'll definitely be signings mate. Lennon has already confirmed we're interested in Ismaila Soro & Andraz Sporar and Turnbull could be brought in as well depending on where he is with his recovery.}

Thanks Ed, Just think we need another option up front and we definitely need freshness/ energy in midfield. Missing Elyounoussi at the moment I think. His injury couldn’t have come at a worse time given he was really starting to settle in and gathering consistency.

If we sign Soro Ed, do you think Ntcham could be away? Seen a couple of reports saying Lille were interested. Would be great if we off-loaded say, Kouassi, and still had Ntcham but that just wouldn't seem like us.

{Ed007's Note - Soro's a CDM mate and Lennon plays Ntcham as an CAM so I don't know if signing him will affect it. Scott Brown's replacement must be brought in during the summer at the latest.}

Didn't know Soro was a CDM, cheers. The couple wee clips I've seen he seemed to be very much driving play almost as a box to box CM, which although trivial, is where I see Ntcham best.

{Ed007's Note - I agree with Ntcham, I just don't see him as an out & out CAM or No.10 but I'd like to see Christie play a box to box role as he certainly has the energy and physicality to do the job.}

I'm the same with Ntcham Ed. I still think his best performances have come from the CM position in his first season. He's good at linking with Eddy from CAM but it's not completely natural to him.

{Ed007's Note -Playing with the 2 in front of the defence as we do I'd play McGregor in Brown's position and Ntcham beside him, remember the football we played when Brown was out injured earlier in the season?}

Ed I think Ntcham is far to relaxed in possession to take browns role in CM, he has tonnes of ability but in games like that at the weekend when we are pressed up the park or have teams coming at it we require another player of a similarly stature of brown, ill chuck a name in for a example that we won’t sign but just so you get my point and it’s wanyama, if a player like that comes in then then you have the option of putting mcgregor our left or in the middle and that gives you a bit more fight in the team. We were far to lights weight at the weekend. If the team was in top form and moving the ball the way we could then we would’ve beat them easy but we weren’t. We were slow in moving it to the the areas of the park that we could hurt them, they always had a man over us, so then it comes to who’s going to fight and we had to many players that are small. Johnstone got bullied. He’ll be a cracking player but needs to take a page out KTs book and get some meat on him without slowing his game down. I am no one who thinks we need a team full of player who would kick there granny but if you aren’t at your best you need players willing to roll up there sleeves and dig right in. Right now we need to beat rangers at pure football and if we aren’t at it then we will get bullied. Brown, Ajer, Julien and Christie are the only four willing to fight it out for me. The rest aren’t able to.
