We are now three midfielders short from last seasons squad which was our strongest department of our team.
McGeough looked good at times and would welcome him back.
Robertson did a decent job as the holding midfielder considering he is better suited going forward. Wouldve been good to keep him.
Craig was a good squad player but is replaceable.
I hope Stubbsy has good options to replace the above as we need to be strong in the midfield area again for next season. A good goal scoring midfielder is a priority.

I'd like to see Stevenson in the defensive midfielder position, he's perfect for that role. I'm not worried about Craig or Robertson leaving.
United we stand here....

Forgot about Carmichael but his goal scoring record from midfield is not the best.

Whilst we were strong in midfield I thought we were a bit imbalanced with all of our players a bit samey. I thought that this contributed to our inability to kill certain games off as much as any failings of the strikers did.
Whilst I liked all the players individually sometimes you've got to do a bit of wheeling and dealing to get the right blend and this will involve losing decent players.
I'm not too unhappy with the departures and I'd love to see McGeoch return if there was any chance of that happening. I also reckon that those who have left will have been on hefty wages so this gives us more room to manoeuvre in the transfer market.
Boyle and Carmichael would add much needed pace and trickery and options wide.
We could do with getting a "proper" defensive midfielder.
It's still early - there's a lot of time to get the squad finalised in time for the start of the season, then there's still until the end if August to carry out any fine tuning that might be needed.

I'll be optimistic by saying that these guys departure will leave the door open for even better quality coming in.

Once again had his time and we need to move on!!
Will be good to see who Stubbs actually brings in. Maybe he has someone whose already at the club earmarked for that specific DM role??

Personally I would like to see us sign Darian MacKinnon from Hamilton. He is the perfect wee player for that position. A wee terrier who takes nae crap, moves the ball about well, and covers brilliantly for his team mates. Also agree with you about Lewis.
