Guest ScottMann Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Brian Graham has played for 3 teams in the Prem and has not been able to hold down a regular starting place. he moved down a division and still couldn't get a regular starting place. I cannot believe we are contemplating signing him again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weesainty Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 It'll be the old chestnut that he falls within our budget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOODLUM65 Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Wouldn't want him back at Saints even if he offered to play for nought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cagey Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Seems strange that Tommy would want him back as he wasn't an ever present when he was here. Tommy did want to keep him though & we do need a target man . He is probably also in the market we shop in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Wallace Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 People forget that Brian Graham scored crucial goals for us when nobody else could find the net. I'd be happy to see him back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rik2304 Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Worth noting that Graham scored the most goals in recent seasons for us. I'm not a huge fan of his tbh but he does offer about 10 goals a season. Muzz out for the rest of the season and needs an ankle op. Big miss for some important games. Coulson out also.......

Kyle Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Brian Graham was alright. Not exactly a 'jewel in the crown' signing, but he did fine the last time. Started well and had a purple patch towards the end of that season, but was largely anonymous in the middle. Got to be honest - I hoped for better than the likes of Brian Graham after Tommy's comments in the press a month or so ago. Davidson is a big loss for us. Coulson and Watson must be best pals, the amount of time they've spent together in the treatment room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abernethy Saint Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 I was a fan of Graham, and felt we could have tried harder to keep him. I feel sure Tommy can get him back to that 10 goal a season level - and there have been seasons where we would have murdered our grannies for that.

Easy for you to say, you're so old your granny is probably already dead I guess Graham fits more into the 'lost his way' pot of transfers that Tommy talked about.

Hendo Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Graham had a stinking attitude on the pitch. I remember Dave MacKay laughing at him when he proper chucked his toys out the pram when he didn't get a pass he was asking for. Has a propensity to dive too. I'd quite happily pass. We need pace up front. Cummins is pacey, but he's a half yard short too often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueheaven Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 I thought Brian Graham was OK whenever I saw him. His scoring rate was decent for us, and he gave us a different dimension up front. My main memory of him though is that he struggled to get a game and kept getting dropped even when he was scoring goals, so quite surprised that he'd want to come back here or that Tommy would want him. If we sign him I reckon we could still do with bringing in another, faster, forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edstar101 Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 We've had worse than BG, but it's not an exciting prospect him coming back Ive heard he's a nightmare at training and his general attitude isn't great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ss75990 Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Was not a fan of Brian Graham. Reminds very much of Goncalvez at Hearts. Will get loads of chances but will only score 1 goal for every 6 or so really good scoring chances. Its a poor consistency David123 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueheaven Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Ive heard he's a nightmare at training and his general attitude isn't great Sceptical about whether Tommy Wright would bring him back if the above was genuinely the case. Seems unlikely to me. Ginger Bakers rebel army 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abernethy Saint Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Totally get your point, because I don't think he should sign him if he is a wanted multiple murderer, or watches Eastenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mind he spat the dummy and refused to celebrate a goal O'Halloran scored because Mike never passed to him instead.... never liked him and he is a diving wee shite bag.
