If we’re serious about pushing on next season, who do you think we should be signing this summer?
Not just “big names”, but realistic signings that would actually improve the squad and fit how we want to play. Do we need an experienced striker who guarantees goals, a creative midfielder who can unlock defences, or should the focus be on tightening up at the back first?
Would you rather:
* Young hungry players from the lower leagues?
* Premiership loans?
* Experienced Championship veterans?
* Or should we gamble on unknown talent from abroad?
Also, which current players should the club build around, and who do you think it’s time to move on from?
Interested to hear everyone’s thoughts because this transfer window feels massive for where the club goes next. A couple of smart signings could completely change the season — but getting it wrong could leave us stuck mid-table again.
Who should we sign and why?

I’d prefer it if we kept the nucleus of the squad and see where we stand before deciding where to add.
If Todd, Mullen and Ngwenya are away then we most certainly have a major rebuilding job ahead as we are much weaker without them.
That presents its own problems as far as pushing for the title as shoving 6 or 7 new players into the squad takes time to gel and get to know each other.
As I’ve said before most championship winning teams get off to a flyer winning the vast majority of the games in the opening quarter.
As to who we sign, hopefully a couple of real experienced pros who know what it takes to win the league and maybe get Olly Thomas back to bolster the attacking options.

Worry about permanent keepers
Concen over centre half`s, as shown by celtics first
Concern about the front, kane is superb, but is a one man band, others help out sometimes but not enough, Andy tod is top scorer, but in big matches not enough.
Some of the above is affected by tactics and position played, but needs to be sorted.
My guess is 2+2+2+1 , ie 7 players, need to be conscious that players are good enough for next league as that is minimum this year.

For about 4 or 5 transfer windows now we`ve failed to get a permanent solution to our GK situation, that has to be priority number 1.

I would love us to adopt the four at the back more often next season, I feel attacking wise we are so much more of a threat in that set up as was evident in the second half vs Celtic.
On the guys that look like are leaving JCM is far and away the hardest to replace, we were never going to keep a player of his level in the championship for too long. I love Matty but he is replaceable in my opinion. Ngwenya has been terrific and I think as a defender he is solid but on the ball struggles at times, deserves his move if he goes.
I’d like the starting line up to look something like the below:
Oxborough
Fraser Abdulai (New Starting CH) (New starting RB)
Gilmour. Amade/(New starting CM)
(New starting CAM)
Morrison. (New Starting Striker). (New starting LW)
I think the key areas are defensively and a couple experienced attacking players. Would love a Morrison type on the other side, strong experienced centre half and another player of Gilmours quality, like a Macleer from saints or something not that would happen of course. We’re not far away from a proper side and although we spent money last season I felt it we weren’t quite there with the experience side of things, a few tweaks and we could be right up there.

No place for Kane or A Tod in that starting line-up?

If we can’t get Oxborough, is the Hearts keeper (ex St Johnstone) Zander Clark out of contract this summer? I think he would be a good signing.

Elie Youan might be worth a punt (assuming he`s happy to stay in Scotland)?
