Regarding new signings, I'd like to see us with, a right back who is dependable and can remain injury free, (we have been so unlucky with this position), a young fast direct striker, perhaps not the finished article but with Celtic he can boost his confidence and get better and better (plenty of chances), a solid centre back because I just feel Virgil will go and I don't want us having to make do with Charlie or Efe in there with crunch matches on the horizon.

What about giving young fisher a decent run in the team he hasn't let us down and turns in 7 out of 10 every performance could be better but does his job.center halves so far just Wilson strongly linked but early in the window for a striker I think we should go for experience over youth

We have 3 good right backs and surely the injuries will clear up! It's the last position we need to fill! Every one agrees we need a CF! we need a back up CM, LB and feck knows what we need in defence as I can see VVD leaving

{Ed007's Note - Remember Lustig can play as a CB too and the player himself said last summer that's where he sees his long-term future. Playing CB is not as physically demanding as playing as a full back so moving Lustig into the middle might help him avoid injury in the future, the player has said that his hip wasn't stiffening as much playing CB as it does when he plays RB.}

The centre back pairing is my main worry as VVD and Denayer were very consistent and protected Gordon very well.
It took a while for them to get momentum and we struggled at the start of the season, (Denayer was also missing with injury for a few weeks) but when we settled down, they were both majestic and contributed to a very successful season.
Mulgrew and Ambrose are certainly not the answer but if we add Lustig, then we may be able to juggle a makeshift back four until we get someone in?
The transfer window goes on long after the CL qualifiers are played, so it is not always easy to get who you want asap.
Otherwise, we may be looking at a big reshuffle in the back four at a time when we need to hit the ground running for CL qualification. I trust RD will have something planned and will have learned from getting caught cold last season.

Hi bigp
I hadn't forgotten about Boyata butwe could be left with him alone if Virgil moves (Boyata being the recognised centre back. We would not want a brand new guy partnering a makeshift CB such as Efe or Charlie, (Lustig if he is fit, it his is injuries that concern me)
We really require a settled in CB pairing of young strong guys in there. Just like in the season just ended, those guys were making it look so easy, playing from the back, creating and scoring, I wish we could have had another 2 seasons out of Virgil and Jason. We need to hit the ground running, not trying to find our feet and then find we don't qualify for CL.

I not Efes biggest fan or Mulgrew for that matter but to stick up for them, both of them played regularly and took us to the CL. Denayer and VVD as good as they are didn't. They also were part of a team that hold the shut out record(that 1 is for u DN lol) so they can't be that bad facts speak for themselves.

I think Efe has showed good improvement under Deila . He has played in the four back four positions since the turn of the year and has played very well. I would certainly be happy with Efe as back-up.
It's difficult to know what Mulgrew will be like as he really hasn't played any this year . He could also have improved well, we will have to wait until we see .

I cannot for the life of me think how you could say Ambrose has improved. He is totally and utterly gash. A bombscare and a fatal flaw in Delia's copybook.

Anyone playing Ambrose still has a way to go. Also any player who Ambrose gets a game ahead of them
Needs to chuck it.


Ambrose oot the door ASAP.
