A midfield of Cadden Magennis Newell Kenneh and Mcgeady certainly isnt powder puff?

That's what I call Blind Faith.

[xqnq1875]

Seen a bit of talk about the midfield still being weak and I completely agree I’d still like to see us bring in another midfielder with a physical presence and with a bit of experience

Might start getting pens again

And free kicks around the box just need somebody to take them

One of them might not even sign for us. One has never played a senior game. One is always injured.

Newell will play but was poor last year and I don’t think Cadden is a winger.

We’ve not really improved an area that was a huge weakness yet, IMO.

Yup.

That midfield would be an outrageous gamble due to injury history/lack of first team experience/ability and would potentially be one of the poorest in the league.

[HibbyKeith]

Pretty clear that we are doing what transfer business we can as early as possible.

Most english league players are contracted until july 1st so there's plenty time for signings yet. It's a market LJ will be very familiar with and I'd be pretty surprised if we dont sign more seasoned pros from there in the coming weeks.

Patience is a virtue folks.

The fact players are contracted until 1st July is irrelevant as they can just sign pre contracts.

Agree with the general point you’re making though.

There were a lot of things wrong with our midfield last season, but being soft, 'powder puff' or having a lack of tackling ball winners winners was not one of them.

We had the third best defense in terms of goals conceded, JDH and Newell had the 3rd and 8th most tackles per game respectively of any midfielders in the league, and we've brought in Kenneh who will be coming for first team football otherwise he would have stayed at Leeds earning more money to keep sitting on the bench.

Defensively our midfield was more than sound last season, and Kenneh will only improve us in that respect.

It's playmakers who will look to take risks with difficult through balls or chipped passes, and energetic players who look to score goals from making runs into the box that we desperately need. I'm hoping with the right coaching that Newell and Henderson can be the former, and that Magennis can provide us with the latter but we could definitely do with another playmaker or attacking box to box imo, much more than we need yet another ball winner.

We need genuine presence all over the park, other than in goals where Marshall more than fits the bill. No leader at the back, powderpuff and inexperienced in midfield and much the same up front with strikers whose only consistent quality last season was being injured, get some ****** steel in !!

Love how it's just treated as though he doesn't have a club already.

Arsenal can recall him and send him to Stoke. Like they did with Ross County to us.

It is but Arsenal have a clause in his contract which allows them to recall him.

Doesn’t surprise me at all.

As soon as we signed Miller I thought it was a certainty Clarke would be away.

Thanks.

I am a bit conflicted with these loans - on one hand you may get a decent player from a higher level - on the other, it must make planning a bloody nightmare.

I had hoped he was going to be playing right side of a central 3. Not surprised he’s getting interest elsewhere though, thought he was excellent. Can see him going on to big things in the future.

[Unseen work]

Gutted about Harry Clarke but felt it was inevitable especially when Michael O’Neil came to watch us play and left just after he was subbed.

A real top player at this level and someone I think will go far down south.

The positive is that miller looks a ready made replacement and a really good player who is actually contracted to us. So we will gain the long term benefit instead of developing another teams player.

[Souter96Mac]

That would be a blow to not have Clarke.

Did suspect we brought in Miller thinking something like this may happen.

If he is recalled, this would just further the argument for bringing in a quality centre half - as Clarke currently provides cover there too

[Stuart93]

Knew it was going to happen after arsenal included the same clause as they did with RC.

He was very good, probably our best player whilst available but injured for the majority of his time here.

Still gutted he’s away so soon.

Massive “meh” from me. He was a bright spot in a truly awful season but nothing to get wound up about. Rather we played our own players.

[04Sauzee]

Luca Connell signs on at Barnsley in a 3 year deal.

[Stubbsy90+2]

Would have liked to keep Clarke but I can’t say I’ve seen the same player others seem to have seen.

He had a wonderful debut but after that he was pretty decent and that was about it, I wouldn’t have raved about him after that but I’d have been happy enough with him being in our starting 11.

This was all agreed before he publicly came out and said he can’t wait to get started next season with us.

Strange statement from an excitable laddie.

This is part of his development plan with Arsenal.
Rangers were trying to hijack his move to the Championship.
