Templar Saint Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 Got told yesterday that we got offered Stevie May for £400 a week on loan from Preston and we wouldn't pay it!! Scandalous if true, and no reason to doubt the source Probably a 0 missing from that £4000 a week would be nearer the mark that Preston would want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixties saintee Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 He was on the bench. I liked Swanson but I struggle to believe signing a 31yo winger who generally takes two months to get up to speed and then leaves at the first opportunity is going to solve any problems for us, I'd actually suggest Scougall could be a longer term solution. Still take him back now he knows the grass isint greener, and knows he is loved. tucker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 Great player changed games for us,I bet if any of us so called professional footballers on here got the call to play for saints we would can't fault the lad for trying to play for his boyhood team,by the looks of it from recent media events the lad had a very hard time,still performed ,like to see him back sixties saintee and Jenko82 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 Still take him back now he knows the grass isint greener, and knows he is loved. He knew the grass was greener after he turned us down to sit in the stands for Hearts. Can fully understand why he chose Hibs since he supports them, but I'd be loathe to hope he returns due to the fact you're never able to plan for more than 6 months of him.

Guest ScottMann Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 I see Miles Storey got his first Partick goal yesterday. A quick look shows that since not being signed by Saints this is the only goal Storey, Sammon or Cifti have scored between them in the 22 games they've played in. There's been some bench warming too. Early days admittedly but it doesn't make me think we actually missed out on a jewel after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 I'd take Swanson back in a heartbeat. January could be quite an interesting month as we do have a lot of players out of contract at the end of the season and there's a few that I suspect wont be offered extension/wont sign an extension this time round. We'll also either sign O'Halloran permanently or have his wages to play with too as I can't see his loan being extended. I hope we have a break clause in Denny Johnstone's loan contract. He's absolutely not good enough. I'd be happy for us to take a chance on the two Irish guys we're being linked to. Certainly looked the part in their Europa League runs. Players out of contracts; Alan Mannus Ben McKenzie Mark Hurst Steven Anderson Ally Gilchrist Keith Watson Scott Tanser Craig Thomson Blair Alston Chris Millar Murray Davidson Paul Paton Kyle McClean Graham Cummins Steven Maclean Callum Hendry Greg Hurst I've bolded the players I think will be released and the ones in italics are the ones I feel may not extend their contracts (Maclean and Mannus will depend on whether they want to continue playing, the other two may want to try something different. Paton took a pretty big pay cut to come to us and Alston will be disappointed that he's not made more of an impact and may see his future best served by moving on). 10 players, some of whom will be on decent wages for us. It's a lot of players to replace at once, so we may actually see a more active January than we usually do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a lot of players to replace at once, so we may actually see a more active January than we usually do. I don't think there's any doubt Mannus will keep playing, he's not that old for a keeper and he's got a WC to look forward to. I don't think Cummins will go, because he's a striker we can afford who does play as a squad player, though maybe struggles as a starter. I just can see us bringing in three forwards ahead of him, when we seem to struggle to find any the past few windows. I think Alston will stay, depending on how the rest of the season goes, and Murray will get another season. But just pure guesswork on my part! I agree with your overall point though, we might see a higher turnover than we've become accustomed to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havana Saint Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 There is more chance of day visits to the moon than Zippy being offered another lengthy contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Tbf Cummins is probably the best centre forward TW has signed. Speaks volumes that at 0-0, at home, with ten minutes left, we bring on Liam Craig and leave Johnstone on the bench. I'd genuinely just be giving up on him already and having Hendry as third choice blueheaven and Cagey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 I agree that he probably is Tommy's best striker signing. He's only scored 5 goals since the start of last season and hasn't scored at all this season though. He's a nuisance and has his purposes but I'd rather we gave someone else a go and he's the only one who I can see Tommy releasing. Kane has 3 years on his contract () and Macca is always likely to get an offer of an extension and if he wants to carry on playing he's likely to stay with us.

Templar Saint Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 Niall McGinn not settling in South Korea and could be looking for a return to Scotland. Surely worth a chat with for January transfer window as an add on to squad or replacement for MOH if THE THE do not allow him to extend loan or he wants to go elsewhere.

That post was a bit of a jinx Well if we're measuring things in literal terms, it's only 4 points as they'd have got 2 points without his goals...and how many points did he cost them in the 7 of his games he didn't score in???

Radford 72 Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 I say this as someone who likes Cummins but Sammon and Storey are both probably better players. I foolishly expected us to be aiming higher than all three in the summer, instead we've managed to sign someone not even their equal on early evidence. I'd have taken either of the Thistle strikers instead of Cummins (or Kane) but hoped to see a player come in that would reduce the reliance on Cummins. As it is, he's arguably our first choice! Seems to be regular mentions in the Irish press about David McMillan and Robbie Benson of Dundalk, including again this morning. They have a cup final this weekend so maybe see some movement after that? There used to be a decent number of posters on here from over the water. What's the gen on them? https://www.thesun.ie/sport/football/1744596/dundalk-boss-stephen-kenny-has-not-given-up-hope-of-keeping-niclas-vemmelund/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ScottMann Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 I'd also say Storey is better than Cummins and would have been a good replacement for Kane but not as the long awaited 3rd jewel. Sammon actually has a virtually identical scoring record/games to Cummins since coming back to Scotland last season including 0 this season. We would have just been getting more of the same with him and the last thing we needed was another non-scoring battering ram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford 72 Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 I'd think it would be a case of my battering ram is bigger than your battering ram if we had Sammon instead of Cummins. I wouldn't want both in the squad and agree it wouldn't have addressed the goals issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
