Had a quick look at current squad and after taking account those that seemingly want away, those that aren' t good enough, those that are at best decent squad players I was left with Soro, McGregor, Turnbull, Forrest and Griffiths - who I'd class as first team starters who want to be here next season . Four of the five mentioned have had little game time this season . Big clear out and re-build required on and off the park.

I know he is not popular but I would add Taylor to that list and Johnston, Macinroy, Robertson, Connell and O'Connor.
THe problem lies in finding good enough replacements. The only standout in Scotland is Ferguson, any from England will be average and expensive.
How many foriegn players have been excellent at any price big bucks don't guarentee of success.

Agreed Jonace apart from Johnston (Mikey) , he thinks he's a player and he's clearly delusional.

Fair assessment av stated earlier we need a whole back 4 presuming ajer is away. a keeoer.2 wingers. and another striker. the prob is getting rid of the dross we've signed. We'll have to take a severe hit on most of them. gross mismanagement of the highest order.

Mikey is a good player why do people bash him so much? Yes he’s not the finished article but he’s got a lot of potential and he’s been injured most of this season when we’ve been crying out for wingers.

Damien Duff said Mikey was biggest talent at club. He must have something but for sure has struggled in last few games.

He trys to hard and needs to bulk up. Forrest has been a huge miss this season.

InschBhoy, I hope I'm wrong and he goes on to become a legend at CP but all I've seen is a greedy, selfish player.

In terms of potential and not being the finished article, he's 21 years old and 4 months older than Lewis Ferguson.

Imo Johnstone ain't making it at us . he lacks power and a modern manager will look for that. hate to say that about the boy. He drifts in and out of games. not sure either about Harper and dembelle there's work to do with as well.

Mally, Harper could well be away in this or the Summer window with the MLS calling.

Don't know much about Dembele but I thought our Youth set up had a strong group of players with a few getting close to the first team - now I'm not so sure.

not just duff all the coaches and the best manager we have had in years all said the boy is a real talent and the players all say he is unreal. there's a player in there.

Ferguson turnbull soro and mcgregor
I like that midfield I’d also go and sign Gallagher from Motherwell.

Mickey has talent, but he is too weak and slight. He needs to bulk up like Pat and Christie. A breath knocks him over. He has been utterly woeful the last two games. Utterly woeful, he had a chance to stake a claim, but blew it. Until he gets stronger he's a boy down.

My biggest fear is there’s NOTHING coming through youth team that are of real genuine quality. If you can’t get a game with 13 players out or stick out when squad has majorly underperformed all season.
There’s no Forrest, Tierney or Mcgregor coming through. In days gone by we would at least have somebody from youth team banging the goals in who would make the bench and get a run out in dead rubbers at end of season but we had to play without a striker yesterday which worries me for future.

Get some decent wingers in and we won't rely so much on full backs. Not convinced diamond is long term solution. It's become the new 352. Whatever shape the new manager decides on we need to be able to mix it up. This season we put everything into 352. Teams worked us out and we were stuck.

Players develop at different rates so yes he still has time to reach his potential. The older he gets the better his decision making will be. Ferguson is a great young player but you can’t compare Ferguson and Mikey just because they are a similar age. Mikey loves to dribble at players and sometimes we look so pedestrian passing for the sake of it we need players like him. I would love to see Celtic developing our own players and when players like Ferguson come along get them in. Turnbull Ferguson mcgregor midfield would be really good balance.
