There is a lot of discussion on here about strikers and CH being the problem in our team.
While I agree those areas need improvement in the summer it's not our biggest problem.
It's so clear to me that wide forward areas have been our weakest position all season. Only Sima has been good in wide forward areas this season.
Given he is not even our player, all we really have to fill those 2 positions is Wright, Mccausland and Matondo.
Wright and Mccausland contribute so little to the team we have Sterling playing out there ahead of them. He is a good player but he should never be played there, just does not have the skill set for the position.
Matondo shows flashes which makes you think maybe, just maybe. But let's face it that's all they are, flashes. He is also constantly injured.
If I look back on this season and what cost us should we fail to overcome Celtic in the league it will be wide forward areas that has been the clear issue.
I don't get the lack of chat on this especially when you consider we have not had an actual proper right sided forward since Daniel Candeias.
Am I the only one thinking this.

Oh to have a Laudrup on the right and a McCann on the left ?.

I agree with you and had we been able to keep sima and Cortes fit we would maybe have been comfortably top of league, if we sign them permanently I think that’s a good two wide men going forward, m roofe and lammers most likely off will let us bring in another 9 hopefully an upgrade. I also see one of Danilo/ dessers being moved on if suitors can be found.

your correct in that mate, we are very short but would h@ve had cortes there and i thought he was great in the time we saw him, but ch is a major issue, as is our right back, that's why butland will be miles ahead player of the season, because he's the main reason the defence may look like they're the strongest, but they're not, the keeper has saved them time and again, i agree sterling is not a winger, nor a keft back, i thoght he was lost v hearts, , i think pc will address the wing positions and hopefully cortez will be here.

What about the boy Armstrong at killie is he not right sided, sure someone posted we were looking at him a while back, better than Wright surely.

I agree that undoubtedly we need better wide players who'll contribute with goals and assists ?I like the idea of sima on one side and oscar cortes on the other side, as both these players have impressed me and should both be signed permanently for me ?.
29 Apr 2024 17:15:55
I think both will be signed.
29 Apr 2024 18:18:03
Tommygunn your spot on that's why cortez has been a bigger miss than we'd have thought and mccausland doesn't really have the pace or skill ATM so 2 wingers needed and hopefully cortez can be kept.

Think with Cortes injury SWS, another loan period would be the way to go, just to be sure bud, but aye would like him signed if alls well, Sima for 6mill as per rumours?
29 Apr 2024 20:57:30
Fork if sima cost 6m and we've obligated 4.5m for diomande that's a large chunk so we need to use the loan market wisely and get 2 or 3 ooc players.
29 Apr 2024 21:51:58
Just going by the rumour wolves put 6mill on him OWS, agree bud big chunk if we buy him. ?.
