    If we have Koumetio, Mesik, Jones and Sichenje playing, we might, just might, put up a fight against Millwall for once.
    all get sent off in first nine minutes.

    Also say that Graham is off to Stoke for £2m

    Dundee head coach Steven Pressley should is also set to lose fellow defender Billy Koumetio in a £500,000 move to Charlton.

    If we sign Koumetio then that to me confirms Mesik is here to play LWB. 

    That means we need attacking RWB options (so not Harry Clarke) and we need to keep Campbell to be our attacking outlet on the left - plus sign an alternative attacking option to TC so that we don’t run him into the ground like we did last season by overplaying him

    I'd still be happy with a more defensive RWB (although I don't think Clarke is as good a defender as many do and I'd never play him at RCB) for when we want to play a box midfield and want to create space for the 10's to be able to pull wide. I think that switch up in system is when TC gets a rest

    Probably not us but I see that Kasey Palmer is joining an unnamed Championship team this week. He finished the season well but very checkered injury history.

    If we keep Ramsay then I’m not sure we need that option. And the 2 10s worked much better when Fevrier was at wing back so we need still definitely need that attacking wing back option in that system 

    My biggest fear at the moment is we are going to lose TC, and end up playing the stodgiest 3-5-2 system with no pace or threat from anywhere. When we sign some attacking RWBs or get TC a new contract then I’ll be very happy we are moving in the right direction and returning to the 3-5-2/4-2-3-1 hybrid where we’ve played our best football over the last few years

    Can we just appreciate in the space of 24hours we may have gone from Gillesphey LCB and TC LWB to Koumetio LCB and Mesik LWB 

    I would certainly like to think it’s an upgrade but nobody knows for sure as I doubt there is a person on this forum that has seen / knew of either player before today.

    Feeling optimistic but feet on the ground until we know what we’ve got

    They would have to be absolutely abysmal to be a worse combo than that

    As things stand there should be 2 more in this week. Big Billy as widely reported expected to be one 
    Did you get a name for the other mate?

    Can’t wait to see the various spelling attempts of Kuomteio 😂

    A lot of talk on here of IM playing LWB.
    Saw a post from his Dutch club announcing him leaving on X
    one of their fans comments said that he’s a great CB, very good with his feet and carrying the ball out of defence. That person also said he has played LWB but his crossing isn’t great.
    In general their fans rate him though.

    Are these 2 new recruits world beaters then ? No-one has seen them play yet. Yes, they may turn out to be inspired signings like Lloyd Jones and Kayne Ramsay......or they might turn out to be duds like Tanto & Ahadme.

    The proof, as they say, is in the eating.
