RandomGuy Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 My man Greg Tansey has joined St Mirren. Only way Saints can make up for that is to sign O'Halloran PerthshireBoys1884 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I'd be happy with that if it's a good quality player. We're in no need of squad fillers this season. In terms of squad balance, we are probably in more need of a central midfielder than anything else, but I'd still be delighted to see MOH back.

ss75990 Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 If we made 0 signings but managed to keep a lot of key players with contract extensions I would be happy. With them tied down can then build on this squad again in the summer and potentially be a bigger threat next year than what we already are PerthshireBoys1884, jhq and bankfoot saint 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With them tied down can then build on this squad again in the summer and potentially be a bigger threat next year than what we already are Agree about the extensions, and I don't think any of us could realistically complain if we don't bring anyone in, but why wait til summer to kick on? There are plenty of teams who can take points off each other in the top 8 positions, no one team has stood out over a sustained period of time, and we're only 8 points off the top team. A big ask, but if we put together another run like the excellent unbeaten run in Oct/Nov/ early December, we could well see ourselves where Kilmarnock are just now, only a point off the top spot. Or higher?!! Other than probably in the great Willie Ormond season in the early seventies when we eventually finished third, have we ever been this close to the league leaders in terms of points over halfway into a season? This could be as good an opportunity to have an absolutely stand out season as there will be. PerthshireBoys1884 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its generally players that aren't playing and so are not match fit or loan signings to fill cracks in the squad for cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an example, if we do sign MOH it'd probably have to be on at least an 18 month contract to make it worth our while. It'll take him a while to get up to speed and by the time he is, we could end up losing him. I suppose it's a bit different if you're in Dundee's position and you just need to get bodies in the door and hope something sparks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPerth Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 MOH on a six month deal, with a clause for a year extra triggered by appearances. Weight his pay so he is paid much more per game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aberdeen apparently offered to make him their highest earner before he moved to Australia, only thing that stopped the deal was Rangers. I feel like he might decide to join us to get regular games again, but we'll be obliterated financially by both Aberdeen and Hibs, who both seem to have a gap for a right winger.

Cagey Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 Kyle McClean reported to be going on loan to Linfield. Should be a good move for him as I don't think he will be signed for Saints next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last report I saw did not name Saints as the CLub that was discusing a PCA with him. As for what fans say on a forum.
