We are coming to that time again of who to buy. Do we need anyone we are going to win the league at a canter, and cover is pretty good all over the park. The question is what do we need to compete next year in the CL and can we wait until the summer. I would like to use the rest of the year to blood the development squad, Ralston, MaCart, Kellacher, Thomson, Lindsey, Miller, Aicthson and others find out if they are going to make the grade or not.

I'd argue that the way we're playing we shouldn't need anybody this window to get through the qualifiers next summer but it's always good to get players in ASAP to get them bedded in.

Ideally January but the quality we should be after is probably going to be more available in the summer.
A GK, a proper ball winning CDM, a ST/ WF and maybe a CAM.
I'd be happy if we just signed one of those in January and offloaded a few.

Get rid of the players that have no future with us first and foremost.

I was thinking about this earlier, league could be won before the clocks go forward. Could use last 2 months as a training session. Bed in signings try out youth.

A midfielder big time as there is no replacement for Broon if he gets injured-but why a GK guys? I think CG has been outstanding apart from booting the odd player in the heid.

Between now and the Summer I'd say we need a partner for Brown, a replacement for Roberts (if anything to keep Forrest on his toes) and a new keeper. Gordon has done well but still can't trust him completely. If Kolo leaves in the summer then I'd like another centre half too to rotate with Erik and Jozo.

I would rather see youth given a chance over new signings would love to see ralston aitchinson Henderson nesbitt and fasan giving a run in the team same as Christie and GMS and hopefully offload ambrose Bailey de vries Boyata Allan commons cifti.

The January window is only good for emergency cover and panic buys, as the best and sought after players are never available.
We have more than enough for the domestic campaign - now that Europe has gone and we could even offload a few that are not in the managers plans to raise cash to offer improved contracts to top performers.
Roll-on the summer to attract better quality in key position, with the funds at our disposal.

Unfortunately we cannot get rid of the players that are on contract . We cannot take them into the highlands and shoot them
First we have to get another club interested in signing them. Then agree a fee if appropriate . Then player has to agree to sign for that club.
Its not simple or every club would have no players they don't want . Most top senior clubs have numerous players they cannot shift as if they are not wanted by their own club, they are almost certainly receiving more money than other clubs will want to play.

We need to strengthen a bit fir CL qualifiers.
