Just started looking at the squad and turn around involved this summer.
Schmeichel - Gone
Sinisalo - First Choice?
Ross Duhan - Back Up.
Alistair Johnston - First Choice.
Colby Donovan - Back Up.
Anthony Ralston - squad player. Utility man.
Scales - First Choice?
Trusty - First Choice?
CCV - likely moved on.
Tierney - First Choice.
Sarrachi - Rotate?
Dane Murray - likely retained as back up.
Benjamin Nygren - offers down south.
Arne Engels - offers all over Europe.
Callum McGregor - needs to be replaced at this point.
Reo Hatate - moved on.
Paulo Bernardo - moved on.
Luke Mccowan - squad player. Utility man.
Ox - surely doesn’t get another deal?
Jota - Return from injury.
Osmand - second choice?
Balikwisha - sell immediately.
Yang - keep rotation.
Forrest - squad player.
Joel Mvuka - who?
Iheanacho - can’t stay fit but a class player.
Maeda - he’s wanting a move.
Now if I go by that list. Appreciate there are no currently out on loan guys let’s say majority go back out on loan or sold.
We need a goalkeeper, 2 centre half’s, buy Sarrachi, a full new midfield, a new set of wingers and strikers.
Now the glaringly obvious issue is that we have no idea who the manager or coaching staff will be next season.
I’m sorry but that’s a full rebuild. Right now no changes have been made at board level. They haven’t actively looked for a true director of football. What are we exactly going to do in this window?
Circa 3 months till our UCL qualifiers. Do we honestly believe this incompetent board will succeed in this massive shift in the football club? These guys have no idea how to find AV for the video player on there old box tellys never mind a shake up of this scale.

Mvuka, who, brilliant, ? good post.

No chance we will get your full "wish" list.
Maeda will likely be away and hopefully a good WC will see his value soar. Hatate can follow him out the door.
The idea of a front 3 of Jota, Iheanacho and Osmand excites me but surely we need a proven, quality, fit, "youngish" striker as a first choice alternative? While Kenny has had a good experience down south, he still has a way to go to prove he can be that man.
I think we might see 3 or 4 new signings as well as a number of loanees, depending of course on how many we ship out. Nawrocki is one who could potentially come back a better player, (as Scales did post-Aberdeen stint) .
We're in for another excruciating summer as we're linked with everyone with a pair of boots but know fine well our tight-fisted BoD will try and lowball clubs wherever they can.
Plus ca change, plus le meme chose!

Hatate was totally in the background during the post match celebs. Not even on Saturdays bench. He's off.

I think I seen an angle of the pitch invasion and what looked like Hatate run on the pitch and slipped on his arse before the centre circle. Thought better of it and headed back to the bench ?.
