Quite happy with the two new signings think they might add the bit of quality we have been needing WATP ๐ฌ๐ง๐ฌ๐ง
03 Sep 2026 22:00:54
I agree. ๐
03 Sep 2026 22:15:19
Far more positive in the forward area now.
03 Sep 2026 21:45:45
Just my take on squad and summer recruitment now we're done
GK. Looks like a real upgrade.
LB. Happy as long as Rommens isn't going to be injury worry
RB. Plenty of cover but not sure on quality. Hoped for better.
CB. Major cause for concern. Short on reliable options.
CM. An abundance of players but not sure if any better. Excited by Drago.
AM. Shocking lack of options but Kim looks impressive.
LW/RW. Finally have options, no idea about the new guy. Need Gassama to stay on top of his game. And less pressure on Curtis should help.
ST. Happy enough, though Naderi and Miovski aren't good enough. Hope we can find a way to give them better service tho.
Overall assessment. Despite huge numbers, disappointed with overall quality and failure to address major areas of concern and how late important signings were made as we crashed out of Europe embarrassingly. We'll need our attacking creative players to stay fit and on form as we almost have the same number of Strikers as Wingers/Att Mids. Will this lead to a 442?
Hope though now with less games we will be ok and will see a big improvement in performances with time to focus on training.

I agree with some of your post, but also happy with a lot of the players.
To be honest, only ones with a question mark.
For me is McCrorie, Godfrey, and Neil.
Hopefully, when McCrorie and Godfrey fully fit we will see them in a better light.
Neil, I hope comes onto a game when he settles.
The rest all look good additions and will be good once all playing together over the coming games.
I'm positive we're going in right direction now and managed to move some on.
03 Sep 2026 22:17:07
Think Nedeljkovic will be quality for rb.
Very good window for me.
03 Sep 2026 22:24:29
Got to give them time, Mikey Moore was written off this time last year and was the player worth paying admission money to watch two months later.
03 Sep 2026 22:40:03
I'm going for Pandur as the stand out signing. He looks class. Spoke well after the game about communication as well.
03 Sep 2026 22:55:41
I agree, SuperAlly. I'm really pleased with him so far. There's areas to work on, understanding obviously, but far more confident they'll improve. Just far more confident with him there in general. Kim MinSun looks, at 1st glance, the pick of the outfield players too. I don't know anything about the 2 new players, so can't comment on them.
03 Sep 2026 23:07:46
Cheers, Stig. Probably comes across more negative, but mostly due to Europe and performances since, but one of two changes, like dropping Manny, and we could look far better.
03 Sep 2026 23:42:18
Wtf are they going to do with Souttar? He can't be paid 12k a week to stay at home?
03 Sep 2026 21:31:28
Should our XI now be:
GK: Ivor Pandur
RB: Kosta Nedeljkoviฤ
CB: Ben Godfrey
CB: Olwethu Makhanya
LB: James Penrice
CM: Vanja Dragojeviฤ
CM: Nico Raskin
RW: Badredine Bouanani
LW: Minsu Kim
ST: Shankland
ST: Kevin Kelsy
03 Sep 2026 22:14:22
In no way, shape or form, should we be playing with 2 midfielders!
442, we would get ripped apart by almost every team in the league.
Change that to 433, take Shanks out and put in Neil, or the other choice in Devlin.
That would be my choice.
03 Sep 2026 22:27:00
4-2-3-1 away from home by looks of it, Gassama, Minsu and Boudani (spelling) give us pace in attack, just have to work hard back the way.
03 Sep 2026 23:29:33
That was one of my worries, it ends up 442. With 4 strikers fighting for 1 place and now a number of wide players. With 4231, all our 3 are very attacking, so ends up still with the 2 in the middle like a 442. Who knows, maybe with better players, though 442 would begin to work again.

Good evening fellow bears. Long time reader first time poster. Over the last couple of years I've been looking in on this forum I've enjoyed the patter and insight. It's funny because I actually feel like I've gotten to know some of you without ever participating ๐คฃ.
My take on the window is that from what I've seen of the new guys who have played is that most of them are upgrades on the guys who have left the club either on loan or permanently.
Being out of Europe albeit frustrating I think will help us in the long run.
I hope DM gets the time he needs to get things going.
I've said to my mates over the last few years when we have been chopping and changing managers that perhaps the answer to our problems has been under our bluenoses the whole time in the form of DM.
Time will tell if that will indeed be the case. I for one hope he is the man who can drag us back to the top. Maybe not this season but eventually.
I do agree with the posters on here who say that patience is needed but also agree that it's in short supply down Edmiston drive.
If we can win a cup this year I'll happily take that as a starter for 10. The league would be a massive bonus.
Let's get behind the manager and the team.
Unity is the principle we all ought to adhere to.

Welcome and I'd welcome a helicopter Sunday this year.
03 Sep 2026 22:15:45
Welcome mate. ๐
03 Sep 2026 22:18:26
Heli, welcome. Good to have you on board, and good first post.
03 Sep 2026 22:44:16
Welcome, mate.
03 Sep 2026 23:17:22
Welcome and thanks for bringing back good memories. Hope they will come again.
03 Sep 2026 23:19:53
Thank you, gents. Glad to be part of.
Onwards to Saturday. Hopefully another 3 points on the board and continue the momentum. Would be good to see Minsu or Kelsy get a goal also. The sooner these guys get on the scoresheet, the better.
04 Sep 2026 05:35:29
Glad having you on board, Helicopter, good open post, mate.
03 Sep 2026 21:20:34
Do we have any links to any free agents now the window is closed. I know there are a few of us still wanting a left footed CB. Still a few available, Diogo Leite, Jonathan Panzo or a right footer we were loosely linked with a while back R Bazoer.
03 Sep 2026 23:20:27
Would love one but think that's us done and will have to make do at CB.
03 Sep 2026 23:39:12
I wonder if it could be done, especially if Souttar and Nsiala go to a league that's still open.
03 Sep 2026 21:11:12
My take on the transfer window.
Recent weeks have imo turned it into a potential sucessb i said we had to dabble in all markets, ie academy, loans frees small fee, medium fee and jargon fees for us.
We signed 14 players across all these groups.
Curtis from our academy, great move Kelly
Loans reduced from 6 to 4. Nedelkovic, conditions loan to buy
Godfrey option to buy
Penrice option to buy
Boumanani, option to buy. All at achievable fees based on our outlay in this window
Frees Neil and devlin.
Low value signing mccrorie, ticks a few boxes, mb he is not the superstar many want, but we can't afford 14 superstar signings, , imo he is a tremendous squad player who can cover a few posy, has an assist in his game
Medium value Dragojevic
Yakota
Pandur
Makhanya
High value
Minsu
Kelsey
Boumanani
Re full squad add in Sterling, fernandes, Rommens, Raskin Gassama Naderi Chermiti, , when we see that list we have a squad that can deliver silver ware.
Moved on,
Meghoma
Arrons
Djiga
Moore
Cornelius
Olosen
Ooc
Tavernier
Davies
Wright
King
Away on loan
Cortes
Cifuentes
Danilo
Bajrami
Aasgaard
Barron
Cameron
Rice
Nsio
Sold
Antman
Butland
Diomande
Major clear out, with a number loans having options, , the way transfer options work a number if not all returns for about a month, that's football,
Players OOC summer 27
Sterling
Souttar
Cifuentes
Rice
McCausland
So it's very good to see many players signed on four year deals, with us having option of one year extension, , that actually looks like a strategy
One or two big signings in January, even OOC for summer, add another three next summer window it shows real progress and promise.
Now to win silver I suspect focus shifts to ch and am
What I will also say, despite my usual source I have never seen things so tight, , that is a very good thing
03 Sep 2026 21:43:15
Nice summary, John. Enjoyed reading that, that's for taking the time.
What do you mean, never seen things so tight?
03 Sep 2026 21:43:43
Great information post, John, thank you. Looking at the post, we've done a lot better than some saying in various media platforms
We can now move forward knowing we have cover in place. John, what's your take on Fernandes? Personally, I'd bench him for the Motherwell match.
03 Sep 2026 21:44:25
Good post, John, you did miss our captain though lol.
03 Sep 2026 21:54:40
Awesome post, mate. When you look at it like that, John seems like good business and we've kept most of our best players. Need them to gel now. Excited to see the new right winger and the big man Kelsey. On paper that's some team.
03 Sep 2026 21:56:51
Framed well, John, not the disaster some might think.
03 Sep 2026 22:16:05
Good analysis, John, and puts a bit of context into strategy.
How our 1st team squad has changed, ignoring those that didn't really feature last season.
Butland - Pandur
Meghoma - Penrice
Arrons - McCrorie
Djiga - Makanya
Cornelious/Souttar - Godfrey
Tav - Nedeljkovic
Barron - Devlin
Diomande - Neil
Bajrami - Drago
Aasgaard - Curtis
Moore - Minsu
Antman - Yokota
Olsen - Boumanani
Danilo - Shanks
Chermiti (injured) - Kelsey.
03 Sep 2026 22:23:54
Thanks for the detailed overview. Last week when talking about the 8-10 going out, I said probably on a couple in and out, and u said that would be a failure, do u still feel the same?
03 Sep 2026 22:27:38
The positives are clear:
The squad is younger, quicker and far more athletic.
Every major area has received reinforcements.
Shankland, Neil and Devlin were extremely sensible free transfers.
Dragojevic and Makhanya already look like players with considerable potential.
Yokota has shown ability and directness.
Kelsy and Min-su are major investments who could eventually produce substantial resale value.
Keeping Raskin after rejecting interest means McInnes still has another proven midfield option.
Bouanani provides the creativity, dribbling and unpredictability we have sometimes lacked, and hoping he can provide.
It becomes successful when the team wins - but the board has unquestionably given us a squad with youth, depth and genuine potential.
There can be no excuses now. It's up to McInnes and the players to turn that investment into performances and success on the pitch.
So over to you, Derrick, to find our best 11 and get them all playing for each other and the badge. Success will follow. ๐
03 Sep 2026 22:46:40
Good post, John.
Having waited until the end of the transfer window to comment, I'm optimistic and happy enough with our business considering the turnaround of players required in this transfer window.
We won't be the finished article after this transfer window. However, I hope, and I'm positive enough, we will have enough to compete and put ourselves in with a chance for the domestic silverware on offer.
03 Sep 2026 23:15:19
CO2, waited myself until the end of the window, it's a stronger squad than we had 12 months ago.
04 Sep 2026 04:06:22
Excellent post, John. Thanks for that. ๐
03 Sep 2026 20:58:30
Unbelievable stats from Chelsea for transfer window. Brought in 11 players, sold 17 and loaned out 22 players. Would imagine most of loans would be younger players.
03 Sep 2026 21:43:59
ยฃ410 million from transfer fees from what I read.
Insane.
