With the team needing a full rebuild, and although this question is difficult as we don’t know who the new manager will be but does anyone want to suggest some players that you believe we will chase / sign?
28 Mar 2021 09:21:59
Ferguson from Aberdeen and Campbell from Motherwell for starters Ragingtim.
If Calmac stays, we would have him, Jamesy, Soro and Turnbull. These guys would give us some dig.

Pedro. Will a new manager want ferguson and Campbell do we buy them before one is appointed? will he like calmac turnbull soro shaw or youngsters like Henderson Connell mcinroy robertson. I'd imagine any new guy would also have a list of players he would like in these positions? .

Ferguson still has 3 years left on his current contract.
He signed a new 5 year deal in 2019.
Aberdeen will be trying to build a team under their new manager.
We seen how stubborn Aberdeen were with McKenna, when they asked for a crazy transfer fee.
I don’t mind paying £3 million, similar to Turnbull who with Ferguson are both Scotland U21 players.
I think Ferguson will continue at Aberdeen next season because Aberdeen will demand at least £5 million and no club will be willing to pay over the odds for a player who isn’t a full Internationalist.

DRB, don't disagree but I can't double guess what any new potential manager may / may not want.
CalMac and Turnbull should fit into any 'system' and I'd hope that any manager worth their salt would rwalise this and build a team around them, using any transfer funds to build a defence and forward line.

Although he's not had his best season I'd take Lewis Ferguson from Aberdeen as he'd bring a bit of bite to the midfield.
I have no idea how much the next two would cost but in the Europa League they really impressed me:
Alexander Bah - Right back from Slavia Prague.
Nicolae Stanciu- Attacking midfielder also from Slavia.
Slavia's big centre forward Sima also looked handy enough as well.
I'd push the boat out to sign Elyounoussi permanently as well.
Get Ben Davies up here as well as he absolutely strolled most Championship games I seen him play.

Fair points Buzz on Ferguson, wasn't aware of his contract situation but agree Aberdeen would be asking silly money.
Some interesting shouts for players Del except for Elyounoussi, for me he's got ability but I'm not convinced he's got enough heart for the fight we will need next season.
28 Mar 2021 11:57:41
doig from hibs should be the first.
28 Mar 2021 12:13:02
I think Elyounoussi could take over from Edouard as the main man. Under the right manager he could flourish.
Doig is a great shout for LB as well.
28 Mar 2021 12:37:27
Haven't seen much of Doig, do you think he has the minerals to make the step up?
28 Mar 2021 12:45:38
I agree del bhoy. There's a definite class act in elyonoussi. If new manager could get him fired up I think he flourish. Little glimpses here and there of top notch player He seems to have everything technically. Just requiring some fire in belly and motivation as drifts in and out of play. Think he capable of being main man if he wants it.

I think we need be looking at better than Lewis Ferguson Turnbull has had some good displays. But seems to me to tire around 60 mins Which would explain his being subbed most games. Against Sevco he was treading water trying track back. Don't think we should be hailing him as some sort of saviour automatic pick As yet he has done little. Some nice moments I like him but want see him dominating games Stepping up and taking game by scruff of neck but to do that I think he need be much fitter I think squad player going forward like a rogic of old.
28 Mar 2021 13:08:08
P73, Turnbull seemed to manage 90mins okay at Motherwell before he singed for us? 🤔
Do you think subbing him for Sicknnote Rogic in so many games this season is inspired coaching?
28 Mar 2021 16:55:37
Pedro71 I think if he is struggling track back which witnessed with own eyes against sevvies. After 60 mins. Being subbed a necessity Not inspired. 90 mins for motherwell not enough for us As said I do like him. But feel he has to offer more. Reading through some of posts about him most fans got him down as unstoppable superstar. I hope that this will be case in future. But it is hope. At this point IMO he needs get fitter and has everything to prove to show he can become undroppable. As said I see a luxury type in rogic of old fashion.
