So, now we're back....how many new additions d'you think we'll need to make?

Pretty much need cover all over the pitch I reckon, especially up front.

Might be worth seeing if Harkins and that wee ***** at Dundee fancy playing SPL football next season....can't think of anyone else they've got who'd be good enough. Oh, wait a sec, Brian kerr :clapping04: :party02:

Left Back

Big Commanding Centre-Back

Playmaking Midfielder

Right Winger

Decent Dargo-esque striker (maybe 2)

Leader

Gardyne from County

Griffiths from Dundee

Kevin Kyle fron Killie (out of contract)

Not likely!

Gardyne is a possibilty, other two however are not. I wish people would stop suggesting players who are never going to come to ICT. Leigh will be going down south.

Where would you play Gardyne? As an out and out striker i would not have him he has about 4 league goals this season. I we kept the same formation then in behind Rooney might be a good bet.

Britton of County. He is quality and has SPL experiance.

Il grant you that griffiths is highly unlikely, but why is Kyle not a possibility? Hes on around ?2000 a week and out of contract at the end of the season. We are now an SPL club, with good prospects, Killie are looking a bit shaky and could go down!

We'll no doubt lose 3 or 4 players to "bigger " clubs. I'd be very surprised if we keep any one of the Rooney, Foran and Hayes triumvirate.

IMO we need:

left back (Bob Harris or Morrison)

attacking mid (Gardyne)

centre half (Pavels)

right winger (Brittain or Gibson)

rooney and hayes still both have a year on thier contract but now we are back foran will sign up to stay with butcher. Why don't we look in the english second or even first division some excellent players down their looking to get in the limelight.

Mihadjuks back as cover (mebbe first team player if Roscoe decides to stay, but from his reaction today and the way he has been talking I think he could be away).

I'd be DELIGHTED if we managed to keep together that squad. Fingers crossed Butcher works his magic on them.

hayes's contracts out

Gardyne from County

Griffiths from Dundee

Kevin Kyle fron Killie (out of contract)

You're the man !!!!

At the moment the emphasis surely must be on trying to keep as many of the players we currently have running out of contract, consistency is a must in the SPL and we all saw what happened at the start of this season when we had to bring in so many players and knit them together.

If we could keep the nucleus of the team together that would go a long way towards trying to stay in the SPL.

I don't think we'll lose Foran as if he was going to leave he would have done so when we went down and his foresight having not moved must have been going back up with us.

Gregory Tade from raith would be a good buy i think. Maybe Andy Halliday from livingston might be good as cover as well.

Where is this? I found an interview in the Daily Record but couldn't see anything like that.

Tade, Harris, and Gardyne.

No need, Foran is a born one.

I havn't seen Tade play much before but I was thinking the same thing, that's if he can perform like he did against us consistently.

Definately a left-back anyway, Golabek has done fantastic but not sure how much longer he can last. A centre-back, an Ian Black esque terrior in at centre-mid, and definately another proven goalscorer along with an out and out right winger to keep Johnny on his toes (if he stays).

I would love to have seen us raid County of the obvious suspects but that is unlikely with the vast majority already signed up

Forgot something, Bob Harris please. Pretty sure he's out of contract come end of the season.

You can never have too many leaders. But I do agree, Foran is the best player of captain material at ICT just now, and should IMO be captain all the time.

Tade, Harris, and Gardyne.

I would like to take Gardyne from County to play in the odi/sanchez sort of position, well only if odi doesnt play like he did today for most of next season.

Scott Boyd might be a good option for a replacement defender

we do need a left back because Golly is getting on a bit, but he is playing well at the moment.

maybe a back up keeper because allison is really experienced, maybe loan him out next season?

Zibi anyone?

Dundee are after him apparently. They can offer him more money than we can, but not SPL football!
