Guys like Jones and Stewart will do a job for squad rotation and give the main guys a break.

No idea how Ojo will do and I agree about Kent but it seems we're still after him so I'd imagine he would slot right in again if he comes back. If he ends up somewhere else then fair enough. Decent player and capable of causing defenses problems but not a world beater.

Docherty I'm pretty sure will go out on loan or even be released. Shame about Rossiter but there's only so much waiting about to see if he develops into a good player and I think his time is up. Hope he does well wherever he ends up.

With the midfield line up a proposed earlier I'm a wee bit concerned there wouldn't be enough dig in there, especially when up against the hammer throwers.

Could be a very mobile set up for Europe though.

I'm really impressed by your glib, useless observation.

Don’t get writing off Docherty. Did brilliantly last season for a poor side in the same league as Aribo. He’s a great athlete, got plenty dig and got goals in him. Not seen enough recently to know about his passing but he didn’t get a chance with us.

Would like to see how he does in July/August and if no then should be loaned out. Would expect he’d get in most teams in our league

Arfield out on the wing I don't see that happening really. I still expect him in at centre mid with Kamara and Davis/Jack.

Aribo has to take the shirt off Arfield for me.


Stewart could replace Lafferty but i suspect he's more of an option for attacking midfield.

Hardie or Rudden will do for 3rd choice with Defoe and Morelos.

I wouldn't have Arfield out on the wing but when supporting Defoe he's been brilliant.

I'd never suggest he was a winger cos he just ain't.

I would keep Docherty, it is McCrorie that needs loaned out if he's not going to be a CB.

No room for him in our midfield this season.

Agreed i like him in behind the striker but that's Aribo's game too.

I think Arfield could play as a deeper CM as well which may be where he ends up if Aribo takes off but i want two natural wide players in the 11.

It's a fine problem to have

I was under the impression that Aribo covered the centre but was also good at breaking up opposition attacks and setting some up too. Bit of an all rounder.

Also looks like he'll complement Kamara really well too.

Lee Bowyer's fairly spat the dummy out. Always has been a walloper.

My highly valued opinion of arfield is he is actually guff

So eh..

Aribo looks a good player

Him and Kamara may well compliment each other


Davis may be the one to make way ...

There is no way Arfield will drop out.

For me Aribo is an upgrade on Jack. Aribo looks very mobile and carries a real threat in the final third.

It took jack until December to have a shot on goal and even then it required a deflection to go in.

Jack gets a nosebleed when he gets with 30 yards of the opponents goal. He has zero creative instinct and minimal goal threat. Playing against your Killie sand Aberdeen that just sit in and spoil the game he is an empty jersey.

Hopefully Aribo can be a difference maker in there

looks like another Ejaria to me

Hope Im wrong

Ejaria had good ability.

Problem with him was he couldn’t tackle a fish supper and he was intent on constantly trying cruyff turns on the edging his own box with three men on him.

Five a side superstar😂

My first thought too. If he's ejaria with physicality he's gonna do ok though

‘it required a deflection to go in.’

Voted goal of the season as well.
