Now that our vastly overpaid failures have probably gone for a few days in the sun, us fans have to put up with the remnants of a poor season and watch them celebrating another treble. I'm old enough to remember winning a treble was so difficult now they with very little opposition make it look easy.
I have said before that to win this league, we have to be totally ruthless. To win in Scotland, I would only keep Souttar, Raskin, Barron and Igamane from the current squad, get the rest of them out the door.
I don't see what others see in Diomande, he invariably doesn't win his tackle and usually looks for the back pass. Bilbao were there for the taking didn't think they were a great team and will be very surprised if they can beat Man Utd.

Barron? Why Barron? For me he is a headless chicken and not even remotely close to being good enough for us.
19 Apr 2025 11:31:56
The only concern with shipping so many out is that we have 2nd round champions league qualifiers end of July. If we happen to get knocked out that round there in zero European football next season. This is a big reason why i don't think we will see wholesale changes in the squad.

Wee Barron was a standout at the start of the season he plays with speed and will do for me in the SPL.
19 Apr 2025 11:46:36
Barron bang average. Good for Scottish European quota. That's about it.
19 Apr 2025 11:54:09
Barron is 21 he is exactly the kind of player we need in the SPFL. I'd sell diamondy, don't see what he brings in the SPFL. Lyle Cameron (cracking player) is his replacement for spl games.

Rave about Barron but see nothing in Diomande deary dear man, laughable take BT, one will have a very good career the other will struggle getting out of Scotland.
19 Apr 2025 12:08:45
If Barron is anyone's benchmark then God help us. Running about all game is only beneficial if you can back that up with technique and skill, both of which, wee Barron doesn't, and never will have!

My Star, looks like Sunderland are guaranteed a playoff spot this season.
That's a tough league to get out off.
19 Apr 2025 12:43:07
BT I agree there are very few who should be kept who are 1st team starters but takeover or not we aren't going to ship out 15 or more players and bring the same number in to replace them in one close season, we are going to have to keep some as squad players who can do a job when needed, probably more likely 7 or 8 in and out although the ones coming in need to be good quality, the takeover gives us a chance again but it's not going to happen overnight it'll take time.
I agree that souttar, Raskin, Cerny (if we decide to buy him) and igamane could be starters and I'd keep the likes of Kelly, sterling, Barron, diomande, yilmaz, Hagi, rice, Curtis as back up options but a goalie, Centre half,2 full backs, a midfielder, winger and 2 strikers are all required - I'd be saying cheerio to butland, Propper, Tavernier, jefte, balogun, bajrami, McCausland Danilo, dessers and the ones out on loan, a huge job for whoever comes in.
19 Apr 2025 12:46:26
Got to say, I agree about Diomande. I genuinely don't see what he brings to the team in any way, I don't see him still being with us next season. Similarly, I don't see the clamour about Igamane, in flashes he shows up very well but generally I just don't think he has what it takes.
19 Apr 2025 13:04:55
He was our best player against Bilbo's.
19 Apr 2025 12:49:17
My star, you were on here criticising me the other day about suggesting Sean Dyche should be the next manager, what movie are you watching mate? We have tried the European style attacking football since Gerrard left. It has not worked! Now you and others are so against having a defensive manager like Sean Dyche.
Diamonde is a cracking footballer in Europe and against Celtic no doubt! But he's rubbish against Ross county, St Mirren etc! It's players like Barron, Lyall Cameron that we need to win the bread and butter games.
19 Apr 2025 13:08:08
Barron did start the season well but i think its a mentality thing with guys like him the default is to retreat because that's what he was used to at aberdeen actually think he's a far better player when he's pushwd forward out of his comfort zone too easy for him to hide in that midfield.
19 Apr 2025 13:09:14
Barron is a decent player but for some reason him and raskin don't work together maybe it's because they play similar styles.
19 Apr 2025 13:29:41
Barron was a standout? To who some fans? because he ran about ? shows you how bad we were at the start of the season.
19 Apr 2025 13:31:34
DtB and Jason, Jesus Christ, I don't know what you guys watch I really don't.
19 Apr 2025 13:52:15
If we keep 4 players and replace the rest of the squad with 18 new ones, we can write off next season as well . We will take time to gel, probably be out of Europe and be giving the other mob a head start again in the league, that we will never catch up.
19 Apr 2025 14:13:47
Stormtrooper I'm watching a team that can't win games in the SPFL mate! Your snobbery against Scottish players is astonishing!
19 Apr 2025 15:14:04
Jason if you even think Barron is close to Diomande, help required, Diomande has more talent in his right foot, get real mate.
19 Apr 2025 18:01:26
Jason it's not snobbery at all. You haven't a clue I was champion is to buy lewis Ferguson and getting dogs abuse for it. You must not have been on then I only want Scottish players that are good enough.
