The board have reported today that they expect at least another 5/6 signing before the window closes so let's hope that is as followed.
LB
RB
CB x 2
RW - Who is almost signed
10 Aug 2026 14:54:02
New boy coming in from PSV is a lw.
10 Aug 2026 14:58:04
I thought Cavanagh said "maybe 3-5"?
10 Aug 2026 15:00:22
Lad coming in from PSV (hopefully) is a LW or, at the very least, a right footed winger, and manager said yesterday we still want another LW.
10 Aug 2026 15:09:01
Cavanagh 100% said he didn't want to put an exact number to it, and said 3-5 maybe.
10 Aug 2026 15:18:32
We need 5 more after Driouch.
6 I fb we sell Chermiti.
10 Aug 2026 15:29:07
Reckon before the window is finished we will have brought in.
CB - with experience
LB - Penrice - loan to buy
RB - Kosta Nedeljkovic - loan to buy
CAM - once Raskin and Dio are sold
LW - Drioech
RW - starting/winger to compete with Yokota
Souttar
Nsiala
McCausland
Dio
Raskin
Gassama will all be away.

Spot on BarronBear.
10 Aug 2026 15:44:59
My guess is the 3 priorities would be:
- starting left winger (Driouech?)
- starting right winger (?)
- backup left back
With any others up to the 5 being based on replacing any players that leave? I suppose, if we're lucky, we might get another CB in too. But I think our 4 are Fernandez, Godfrey, Makhant, Souttar?
10 Aug 2026 15:48:15
The CAM is a big one for me, I hope he moves away from the two strikers when we get better wingers etc in.
10 Aug 2026 16:00:55
Why is everyone wanting a starting right winger? Curious. Yokota looks good, he may well be the starter.
10 Aug 2026 16:07:49
Is that the definition of Chinese whispers, newIbroxstorm. 3-5 becomes at least 5-6.
10 Aug 2026 16:12:19
Agree, Dado. Think Yokota looks pretty lively & decent. Think he will be even better when he settles in properly.
10 Aug 2026 16:42:41
I think centre back has to be priority after Driouech.
10 Aug 2026 16:46:57
Agreed, Stevie.
10 Aug 2026 16:49:37
Bigdado, we need 2 in every position, mate, in order to get the best out of the squad and competitions for places.
10 Aug 2026 16:53:09
Striker is needed Pronto. A wee rapid clinical finisher preferably.
10 Aug 2026 16:54:03
From yesterday, I'd say Yokota is strong enough to start, and hopefully we bring in starting RB. Complete the PSV lad as our starting LW, and then a creative 10. Also need a strong dominant CB to challenge for starting jersey. Thought the African lad looked solid yesterday.
10 Aug 2026 17:00:00
Def Gdog, it just seems like Yokota has already been tipped for the back up.
Maybe Driouech can play both sides?
10 Aug 2026 17:03:21
Thing is Yokota can play central as well.
10 Aug 2026 17:03:34
BigDado, he can play both sides, mate.
10 Aug 2026 17:47:17
Driouech Chermiti Yokota would be my front three, he's still wanting another rw.
10 Aug 2026 18:23:14
He said 3-5 maybe. We need CB, RB, LC, AM, RW, LW.
10 Aug 2026 19:04:57
Yojimbo, Souttar isn't part of the plans. We desperately need an experienced CB.
10 Aug 2026 19:16:44
Three won't be enough, five minimum needed. An experienced left sided centre back, left back cover, a right winger, a left winger and a full back who can get forward.
10 Aug 2026 19:22:51
That front 3 capable of destroying opposition defences. My star. 👍 🇬🇧
10 Aug 2026 20:01:37
SWS, I agree but they need to get the ball to them quickly.
10 Aug 2026 20:12:46
Bigdado Yakota can play both. He's a great little player who I think will get plenty of game time.
10 Aug 2026 20:32:31
Agree, Blue89, but think we might need to get him out the door before we bring anyone else in. And, to be honest, I don't think any of Fernandez, Godfrey, or Makhany will be 4th choice. So I doubt we're going to bring in someone that will play ahead of them, sadly.
10 Aug 2026 21:16:42
We need a strong commanding cb with experience. I would honestly go for Godich
St Mirren, he would come cheap n definitely do us a solid turn
Know the league.
Solid, no nonsense.
Bags of experience.
N honestly, before folk say he ain't good enough.
He would be all over dome a they silly daft mistakes we have been making at the back.
We are crying out for a centre back like him.
Just causes he plays at St Mirren.
Don't mean he wouldn't do a solid job for us.
10 Aug 2026 23:41:31
Seriously, mate, we are trying to put together a title winning team.
