My apologies if a thread such as this already exists, but this type of thing might provide something to keep us occupied during the remainder of the off-season.

Also, try to comment on the thoughts of others, as these threads often turn into a whole heap of lists which have little meaning.

Andy, I like your thinking regarding Morton, I think he's ready to announce himself as an elite player this season.

Also, interesting to see you have Green as our leading goalkicker, I'm not sure I can see him spending long enough in the forward line, but with all of the new kids coming into the midfield, it may be a possibility.

Dont know how you can get disappointed with these spuds. Everyone knows they are shit so the expectations are dead set low.

Whilst your point is somewhat fair, if they continue to do nothing I don't see how you can view it as anything other than disappointing, particularly when you consider that they are still on the club's list and still being paid to play football.
