Hard to believe godson is still there
Aye he's utterly tragic. Spent a long time injured with St Mirren this season luckily for them
Firstly - I think the last four games have reinforced the utter bemusement from the fans over Worrall playing ahead of Katic.
Katic is far from the finished article but he is more than good enough for this level and needs time in the first team to develop.
We have conceded one goal in 4 games since Goldson and Katic were reunited. Katic has scored once and earned two penalties in that time. Nuff said.
If Barisic had Katic's attitude he would be a potentially £10m player. It will be a real shame if he slinks off for a couple of million because he has all the tools to be a top player. Except a pair of baws.
I have to say I think Flannagan has been excellent in at LB in recent weeks as well. He has clearly lost weight and looks loads sharper. He is never going to be an adventurous attacking full back but he loves a tackle and is pretty solid.
But we defo need another CB. Bit gutted Millwall stayed up as we would have been in a decent position to go back in for Jake Cooper if they had gone down.
Other than that a lot will depend on Morelos going. We absolutely have not missed him since he has been out. The past few games surely puts to bed any theory that we 'need' Morelos.
We have decent attacking potions as it is and Morelos would be replaced if he went. With Lafferty out of favour we would probably bring in two more strikers to support Defoe - who is looking very good at the moment.
Plus it seems we will have Greg Stewart who is an absolute goal machine
The Greg Stewart signing seems daft.
He's creative but he's flopped too often and giving him a 3 year deal is bad news.
Agree 100% on Katic he's just better than Worrall.

Rangers are getting their squad in shape early doors, fair play to them for that, Stewart, Jones and Hastie all done deals.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Shaping up to be a very busy summer for us.
We have plenty of players to move on and still need quality reinforcements in a few positions
Stewart and Jones are up there with the most bizarre of signings made in recent times.
One is chronic and the other is a speedboat with no one at the wheel.
Hastie is a decent addition for the next few years if he keeps progressing.
Not many of them will strike fear in to Celtic though. Also whats the script with McGregor not clapping his hands at the McNeil tribute. Defore was giving him evils for it. Cant of a boy!

Squad fillers - both on freebies so no real risk other than wages. They wouldn't be my choice but I guess they can come in and be relied upon to do some sort of a job when needed.
Jones I kind of get. NI international on a free and gives us a slightly different option with raw pace. hopefully he can be coached into a useful addition.
Stewart - just baffling really. Hes gash.
Hastie could really kick on but time will tell if he copes with the step up.

Surely Candieas, Grezda and Middleton are just as good as them though?
Unless they're there to replace Kent which would be insane.
None of those 3 are number 10s and Stewart is.
Grezda is appears to be an attitude problem and being a bit of a softy, i expect with the recent reports he'll probably get punted in the summer.
Middleton > Jones though, he needs more experience but he can finish and trickier than Jones. Will have to wait and see how that one plays out.
Murphy will likely replace Kent.

Quite happy with that from our point of view if that turns out to be the case.

Kent wont be back.
Celtic fans seem to have a higher opinion of Kent than we do.
He has been good but his two best games have been against celtic by some distance. When he has more space to play in and he can utilise his pace he is much more of a threat.
He rarely gets space against other teams in the league.
His over all stats aren't great. Yesterday again he frustrated by picking the wrong ball or failing to execute the killer pass.
He would be good to keep but deffo not worth breaking the bank for.

Probably because he's roasted us twice in 2 games

Murphy has much more end product as shown in their respective tallies and that was in a worse team.
I do rate Kent though but he's a lot more hit and miss than Murphy when he had his run in the team.
Kent has shown more in the last two OF matches than Murphy has previously. He definitely has more pace and more potential than Murphy.
But in terms of unlocking stubborn defences in the league then Murphy does carry a bigger goal and assist threat.
And if that helps us turn half those games we drew into wins next season then we will be better off for it.
Kent is one of those players that is nearly a superstar.
But not quite.
If he carried a bigger goal threat and if he could pick the right option more often than not he would be a £10-20m player.
He is still young though so there is hope he can kick on. It probably just wont be with us.
We need 4 options at centre half and we will likely have 2.
Barasic will be gone I reckon after Gerrard's outburst. Guy has talent but mentally he's a scheidtbag. Wallace will be gone as well, so a good quality left back is a must, in my opinion. We have been linked with some Portuguese guy playing in France so it seems like we're looking.
In goals I'd loan out McCrorie and sell one of Alnwick/Foderingham.

Andy Firth must have the easiest job in football
3rd choice goes to all away games just in case he might be needed for the bench
