3 of they loans out I expect will return. Christie and Fisher will become main squad players, Henderson I'm not so sure.

Of the rest of the 23 out several were already out of the picture and just needed moving on. Others are youth prospects who I have no idea if Deila sees a future for or not.

So in reality we have from last seasons squad got rid of

VVD
Matthews
Denayer
Guidetti

plus squad members
Pukki
Balde
Tonev
Wakaso

Why don't you expect Henderson to return?

why arent you sure on Henderson?

I like him as a player however my uncertainty comes from the other players around him and who he would get in ahead of.

Forrest
Armstrong
Johansen
Christie
GMS
Allan

Who if all are on from would he get in ahead of, and play enough to make a difference?

form not from

It just me who doesn't find her particularly attractive? She's just got that utterly generic 20-something footballer's wife trying-hard-to-look-good appearance of her. A tonne of make-up, false eyelashes, bleached teeth. She's not ugly but nothing really stands out, just a bit plain.

Damn good body though.

Typical WAG lookin - apart from Mrs Mols

Henderson won't play in either of those roles mate, he will be the one taking over from Biton or Brown.

His passing ability and close control means he's essential in the middle of the park

He can play further forward as we've seen but his best position will be in one of the holding roles

Yeah he only turned 19 in April this year so still plenty of time on his side too.

I agree.

I'd rather fck Mcinnes.

NNH Still young but he will get stronger.

Mind he was playing for Rosenborg on loan last year and was banging some tasty totty

when hes coming on and producing moments of magic like he did against Inter Milan im sure he has a bright future

already showing hes to good for the Championship

He actually played 14 games under Delia Smid, which is the most first team games he's had, I think he played 8 under Lennon when he first broke through 2 years ago.

NNH I agree Henderson is imo a centre mid and one I have high hopes for, he is filling out and maturing, he has the baw skills and seems to like a tackle, time will tell with the boy

I am one of those who would like Commons to take more of a back seat with the players we currently have but he just seems to create or score when he does play, slows us down a tad but he is a real quandry for me, that and him and his missus seem like decent folk, tough call

well nnh let me tell you

a) loan players aren't ours so we aren't getting rid of them, so that's about 5 off your list

b) wee guys don't count like McMullan and Jackson Irvine they weren't first teamers.

c) you've put Christie in both that doesn't suit me so take him out.

d) anyone out on loan last year doesn't count either cause they weren't there when he said it, but u can't refer to this for point a) because it doesn't suit me.

annnnd

even if that all was true and we did trim the squad, where was the increase in quality?

nane

that's where

awrite.

Sending him out to Hibs was good business and good for him in my opinion, he's went there and stood out like a sore thumb in that team.

A lot of the Hibernian fans have been raving about him the past few weeks.

My ideal midfield would be:

Biton
Henderson

Armstrong
Christie
Forrest

Johansen will leave as will Bitton no doubt.

Forrest has had an upturn in form but he cant play every week

GMS personally dont reckon he'll be here come next January

Allan and Christie will be in and around the team

Armstrong i'll give you if he plays centrally
