He's poor on the ball, and can't play in a team that doesn't want to sit on the edge of their own box (like a Rowett team did), Only need to watch the Stoke away game this year to see it's not the style of defender Frank needs in his team.

Cam the Ram Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Would probably be asking Shinnie to do way too much work with how attacking the midfield is. New GK Bogle - Keogh - New CB - Lowe Holmes - Shinnie - New CM New RW - Waghorn/Marriott - Lawrence I reckon both Roos and Carson will be off and we'll probably need to sign 2 new keepers Wisdom will probably leave so we'll need more cover at right back and maybe even a new starting right back if Bogle moves to the Prem We'll need a couple of new CBs Lowe may move to Aberdeen, but we should still be ok with Forsyth returning from injury Midfield needs a lot of work. We've got Shinnie coming in and then will probably need another 2 signed at least, or hope Sibley/Bird can make the step up We've got Thomas returning from loan but will still probably need a winger or 2 And we might need an extra body in to cover for Marriott and Waghorn with Nugent leaving, or like in midfield hope 1 of the youngsters is good enough Should be a very busy summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuwtfly Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Agree with much of @Cam the Ram's post. New GK Bogle - Keogh - New CB - Malone/Lowe Holmes - Shinnie - New CM New RW - Waghorn/Marriott - Lawrence 4 key signings and perhaps three more to replace the many leaving. Perhaps 7 in total? Maybe less if we bring forward some U23 players? Bit worried we will be in the market for a new striker as well. Really don't want to see Marriott go as he is the first striker we've had in a long time who looks the real deal every time he plays. Struggling to see him staying after having Nugent/Bennett picked ahead of him in recent weeks, though. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we have both Bogle and Lowe next year they'd likely be more productive than any out-and-out wingers we could get our hands on. They're both very talented on the ball.

Would love a Marriott and Waghorn partnership but I just think our team, Holmes in particular, is better suited with 3 in the middle. Maybe Holmes could do a good job with Bogle out on the right, but I personally prefer him in the middle giving the opponents holding mid no time on the ball with his pressing.

jimbo jones Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I really really hope we don’t play 433, what’s the point in playing wingers and then having your full backs provide the width. Play the diamond, get two strikers on the pitch and then you have the attacking full backs for the width. Ive put some alternative options in brackets. ???? Bogle Keogh ???? Lowe (malone) shinnie holmes ????(Sibley) Lawrence Marriott Waghorn (Bennett) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernow Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 As good as the loanees have been, this time last year, none of us knew an awful lot about them. Wilson had a short but good spell with Hull, Tomori came with mixed reviews, Mount was exciting but had only played in Holland. As long as we can keep Lampard, we’ll attract players of that calibre. Even with Chelsea’s transfer ban, other sides will look at how we’ve treated the three loan players and how much we’ve brought them on. How much value have we added to the players collectively for their parent clubs? We have excellent facilities and currently a coaching team who can get the best out of young players. I think top clubs will be queuing up to send their prospects here to develop, and I think the strength of next season’s side will rely heavily on the importance of any loans again, given our situation.

All I'm bothered about is that Holmes and Marriott are key players in our team. Neither managed to make 20 starts this season through fitness/selection reasons, but both still had a huge impact despite the lesser playing time.

I reckon he could play in a central 3 alongside, say, Holmes and Shinnie but, I know this would be a huge challenge with the resources we have, but if we can build a team strong enough for Lawrence to be a plan B then I'd be delighted. He has a lot of ability, but he's not even remotely consistent enough to be a written-in-pen starter imo, and that's what he'll be when our system requires wingers and his only competition is Jozefzoon.
