I’d not be looking to upgrade Newell as a priority. He’s now a very good and consistent midfielder and has been for the last couple of seasons, which wasn’t always the case. However I do think it’s possible we could sign a replacement to make the overall midfield better. Same applies to Levitt.
Levitt is better at Newell at passing forward and through the lines. An athletic midfielder with drive, who is also comfortable on the ball, an Alan Campbell or Greg Docherty type might be a better foil for Levitt and take the midfield up another level without that new midfielder having to be streets ahead of Newell ability wise, someone with a more athletic skill set.
As it is I like the current version of Newell, and Levitt both individually and also as a pair. However to keep improving the team unpopular and difficult decisions might be required. Like Youan for example. I like him and on his day he’s unplayable, but we’re arguably a better and more balanced team without him.

I like JDH
but I also liked magennis
Both feel the same kind of injury prone bad luck
Maybe time to move on
He must know game time will be hard with Newell and levitt fit that’s before Jeggo is even considered
I’d move him on along with
Henderson
Harbottle
Boruc (loan)
Doidge

Just because people say they want another CM doesn't mean that newell or Levitt will drop out. As a team we run ourselves in to the ground during games and we have many players struggling from 70 onwards. Having a player in that area that can provide something different will only improve our squad. Being able to have some sort of squad rotation would really help us improve. We can't be playing Newell and Levitt in every game and the current options are big downgrades on those 2.

Worth a punt on a pre contract in this form IMO, he can’t be a particularly high earner either.

There are plenty of us on here who have been watching Scottish football for decades. We’ve got a pretty good idea of the type of player that works or not.
There have been numerous mangers come to Scotland and totally screw things up because they thought they knew better.
I’m not saying NM is one of them, but he’d do well to listen to people around him with experience of the game here. Bringing players from Oz just cause you’ve worked with them before is not the answer.
Before NM got the job, everyone was talking about how small a club CCM are. The Oz equivalent of Brechin or the likes. Their best players aren’t good enough for us.

Lewis Miller has done alright for us, and that was pre A-League win.
He won't bring someone in "just cause" he's worked with them either. He will bring them in if he feels they can enhance the squad.
Crucially, that will have to be backed up by the stats that Calvin Charlton works on.

Postecoglue brought players he knew from the far east. Didn’t do him any harm.

Guys playing for CCM have been good enough to move on to championship clubs and Newcastle Utd recently I don’t see how we can turn our noses up that there couldnt possibly be anyone there good enough to improve our team, the LB looks a good prospect and we need improvement in that area well worth a shot imo

Tanser from saints it’s out of contract in the summer. I would be giving him a phone call. Very good LB
Dandah from County also. Such a flair player and forward thinking. Impressed every time I’ve seen him.

Have all proven that their best players probably are good enough for us…and that’s just players from the Mariners.
Look at Keanu Baccus for example, people are desperate for us to sign him now but I imagine if we signed him straight from the A League their would be similar comments to yours

When is McKirdy due back? Will be interesting to see if this management team can get more out of him.
We still have McKirdy, JDH and Cadden to return. A couple loans at most next month i reckon.
