I keep seeing people mention we need to bring in between 10 and 15 new players. Does anyone actually believe that will happen?

In my opinion we will manage to get rid of 5 or 6 players at most meaning we will bring in probably about the same.

Personally I think we have a few decent players at the club only they are short of confidence and fitness.

If we can bring in 1 or 2 good centre halves. A tough tackling midfielder and a play maker and proper goalscorer I think second will be comfortable next season.

We also have krancjar and Rossiter to come back, if both come back to full fitness there's 2 players who are better than anything we have at the moment. We also have Matt crooks who has done well at Scunthorpe to come back too.

A good pre season for the likes of windass, Tav, Holt, Waghorn etc who have struggled with fitness at times this season might see them up their game too.

Anyone disagree?

When do they have this preseason? Exactly

Gone are the days when teams had 6 weeks to get your team fit for august start. We could be playing European qualifiers 6 weeks after league finish!

I agree we won't be getting rid of 10+ players and bringing in same numbers as we just don't have the money to pay off their contracts and i can't see clubs lining up to buy kiernan halliday o'halloran etc

also agree fitness is poor and confidence rock bottom but as the old saying goes you can put in what god left out and fitness and confidence won't turn most of those guys into players; sorry lads ain't going to happen.

waggy needs to go he just doesn't have it - lots very decent chances missed week in week out at pittodrie hampden and at home etc he just isn't the striker we need and ohalloran halliday kiernan senderos garner hodson are in the same bracket - just not good enough if we want to challenge

3/ 4 solid defenders and cple combative midfielders hopefully added to a fit rossiter (who i do believe has it) along with a proven poacher will get us back on track

Now Pedro is at it. He os talking about 12 named players being given to the Board. Thst does not mean 12 coming in. Its a list. I agree with Stuart if Pedro can get rid of 6 then maybe 6 will come in. If Pedro can't get rid of 6 or more then oly 2 or 3 will come in. Rangers can't afford another 6 decent players on the wage bill so its all about replacing what is there. Personally I think King will give him very little but its season ticket renewall time so God knows what he has been promised. There are players coming back so it would be better to buy 3 or 4 decent players rather than 6 or 7 average players. So what happens if no players come in before Europa qualifying and Rangers don't go through.? Then expect no additions at all.

We need at least 10 new players that are miles better than what we have and we need to get rid of the dross that we have, so yes hopefully this does happen.

Kiernan, senderos, Forrester, hodson, waghorn and ohalloran will not be here next season.

Halliday, McKay, garner, dodoo, hill could go aswell.

The problem is that the ones that should be first out the door, like Halliday, will be the ones we can't get rid of! I am hoping that the players that have been out injured or have been out on loan will come in and do a job because other than Miller and possibly Hill and the goalie I wouldn't particularly want any of these players in the starting eleven!

I am hoping that we see hungry players coming in from South America and Portugal that have a bit of quality alongside two or three good young home based players that are of a significantly better quality than what we have.
