Thumper Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 If Charlie Mulgrew were a bad influence on the dressing room then surely that knowledge would have filtered down to one A. McGeady at some point, even if their spells at Celtic didn't overlap. The dressing room banter is certainly going to be interesting this year considering that there's a spread of two full decades across the squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelson Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Not sure why we need Mulgrew given we already have 3 centre backs, but Fletcher would give us some extra options. Hard to see us meeting his wage demands though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum-ayr Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I think we are light(ish) in the centre back area. Musonda injuries and away on international duty only leaves us with Stanger and McGinty. However if we do bring in a new right back then at least you have McAllister as the cover. However if we don't bring in a right back and something happens to 1 of they 2, you're relying on a defence that is porbably going to start this weekend (Hewitt, McAllister, McGinty, Reading). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that any different to most squads most seasons? Most teams will have a 16/17 year old around the squad and a 35+ player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Saturday is a prime example of what we’ll get with an injury and a suspension. Musonda will be out at some point and you’d like it if we weren’t reliant on McAllister being our only back up. It’s not a priority position whilst we have the full backs we do but it’s something that could be looked at if possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, it's not ideal, especially as Rose and McGeady seem to be a further 2 or 3 weeks away from match fitness also and still no sign of a RB being signed and only 4 days away from our first league match. It kind of makes a mockery of having a summer break and a pre-season if half your team aren't going to be ready or in place until 4 or 5 weeks into the season !! We might as well just do away with a transfer window and go back to the way it used to be !!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanger is suspended and I highly doubt Musonda will be involved considering we haven’t seen him since the Stranraer game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superhursty7 Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I'm on the fence on the mulgrew issue but I can see why he might be in Bullens thoughts, potentially he could provide cover at LCB, LB and CDM, praying Frankie is fit to start on Saturday McAllister at CB and Hewitt at RB gives me the fear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conley Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Maybe there is more in the Fletcher rumour than there is in the Mulgrew rumour. Bullen will know Fletcher through their Sheffield Wednesday connection... McGeady also had a spell at Wednesday...sill think it is highly unlikely due to wage demands but if Kyle Lafferty can sign for Johnstone Burgh who, I think, are in the same league as Whitletts Vics...you never know 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum-ayr Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I just don't see the Fletcher one at all. He didn't re-sign with Dundee Utd because they were in the championship. Unless he's doing some form of coaching/management role like McGeady it would just be a strange one all round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only things he's really mentioned is wanting to play every week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Fletcher is still fit I'd take him in a minute as his workrate and footballing intelligence are top rate and again You'd expect the young guys to learn massively from someone like him, similar to McGeady and Murphy. That said, I wouldn't be spending silly money as RB and an attacking Midfielder are much higher on our list of requirements I'd think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
