Mate, you spend your life finding negativity in absolutely every aspect of the club.
I’m not sure what you really want
That's because there is plenty to be negative about. You feel we're on the right track, based on what I see, I'm not as enthusiastic as you are.
I'll try and give you an example of how I see it.
When Souness came in, boy were we in a mess. So what did he do? He immediately brought in a top class goalkeeper and as an inspiring captain/leader/centre half as you could hope to find.
Now admittedly we had some luck with the English clubs still being banned from Europe post Heysel, so we were an attractive proposition for these English players.
However, the nucleus of the side that won that 86/87 title were already at the club. Munro, McPherson, Derek Ferguson, Ian Durrant, McCoist and of course Cooper who would enjoy an Indian summer both at Ibrox and Fir park. Then there was your McMinns and Cammy Frasers who did us a turn and of course Graham Roberts came in as our Christmas present.
I believe for this present squad to make a serious challenge next season it will take a lot more than just a centre half and a goalkeeper to get the ball rolling. If we're giving Jefte the benefit of the doubt because of his youth, we still require a GK, RB and two central defenders who aren't made of glass and can handle the physical side of the game up here.
So basically that's an entire defence need bedding inand we won't be getting a Butcher type for half a mill or at today's financial equivalent either.
The midfield and attack at this time are too eratic and inconsistent and nobody typifies the Jeckyll and Hyde nature of the squad more than Diomande. He can look top drawer in Europe yet is posted missing too often in run of the mill games as we have seen beofore and after the turn of the year.
This isn't me singling out Diamonde specifically, I'm using him as an example. But the fact is a top class performance followed up by a handful of poor games are no use to us when we need to grind out results in the hustle and bustle of Scottish football. That applies to all our squad.
We can add in what we have to endure from officials but that is a battle for the club to fight, which I just don't see it. However, that a separate debate for another day.
The squad in my opinion is still at least a handful of top class acquisitions away from giving us what is required domestically. You may see that as me being negative. I view it as being realistic.
