Rousseau 10,946 Posted yesterday at 10:21 Share Posted yesterday at 10:21 We had 7 CBs going into this season. You can argue about the quality, but it would have been a mistake to spend even more on the defence when we had cover; especially when the attacking area was the main problem. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutton_blows_goats 5,608 Posted yesterday at 10:31 Share Posted yesterday at 10:31 (edited) Aberdeen out splashing cash on players, paying about 700k for the Latvia captain Kristers Tobers according to the record. Also have loaned Jeppe Okkels from a championship side with an option to buy for around £1 million at the end of the season. Maybe help turn their form around and make it a fight for 2nd after all.

Seven ? how many could you seriously consider good enough for the first team? and how many have half decent injury record? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

der Berliner 3,877 Posted yesterday at 11:32 Author Share Posted yesterday at 11:32 A return to Rangers is the preferred option for Niko Katic as the 28-year-old Bosnia and Herzegovina defender is linked with a move away from FC Zurich this month. ... as the only "rumour" worth looking at. Good age, good experience, knows the score. We could do worse, pending on the fee. Has played 25 matches so far this season, no injuries. At least the last bit is something we can change ... As for the centre-halfs ... Souttar, Pröpper, King, Nsiala, Balogun are 5, Kasanwirjo has played most his games as centre-half too, while we use Sterling in that position too. So it is essentially 7 players able to do the job there. Nsiala was on the bench at Hibs, maybe training more with the first team than the B side, to get him up to speed (in January?). 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been an act of absolute stupidity in our financial situation to sign more CBs when we already had 7 serviceable options - especially when our defence has not been an issue. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CammyF 8,587 Posted yesterday at 12:43 Share Posted yesterday at 12:43 (edited) So when is Mr Stewart going to communicate / address our January transfer strategy? Once the windown closes? 🤷♂️ Edited yesterday at 12:44 by CammyF 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
