Cagey Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 I wonder if Tommy is sitting by his phone in the hope an agent will come up with a couple of defenders. Or maybe phone Joe's dad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe phone Joe's dad. Tommy would have to back down from his stance that Joe was the one that would have to start negotiations again. I haven't heard any rumours about contracts from other clubs for Joe apart from Random mentioning Dundee United. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny B Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 Had a look around the centre backs who are free agents. Sadly there is in my opinion no one suitable available other than Joe. I hope I am wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radford 72 Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 I liked Shaughnessy and hoped he'd sign a new deal but we have to move on, even if it's cutting off a bit of our own nose. I'd usually welcome a player back but, unless it's been kept under wraps, his side have made no attempt to reopen discussions with Saints, so he's clearly looking to move on.

He has also missed pre-season when that happened with Muzz it took a while for him to catch up if I remember correctly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 Getting a bit concerned now. Its also a bit of a worry that since Jason &Liam we have had no defenders coming through the system & none on the horizon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he was struggling to get in the team at the turn of the year. The club should have had another defender signed by now (i.e. before the injuries), it's poor. garydavidson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long will Tommy wait? There needs to be a cut of date and he should tell us when it has passed. Then move on to his contingency striker if he is still available.

I dont see any way we get him now, as financially we'll be the worst option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SconeSaintees Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 Unless he pulls a couple of rabbits out of the hat soon, could be a long season. I hope he has something up his sleeve if May option slipping away that is going to be meaningful, can't see at this stage where that could come from though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of fans will turn if we miss out on him, especially to Dundee. If you then add in the huge injury problems that might see us fail to qualify out the group, then a heavy opening day defeat to Celtic, and you have a perfect storm for fans to completely turn.

Oh Calm Down! I'm not convinced May would be worth his price tag so lets move on. I think our manager will be prudent enough to have another striker in the frame and there is still plenty time to add to the squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Saints Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 To be fair to RG, anyone who is remotely familiar with the 'St. Johnstone Banter' Facebook page is probably aware that there would almost definitely be a backlash amongst a section of our support if Stevie May were to hypothetically sign for Dundee or Dundee United.

TWs strike rate with signing strikers is absolutely abysmal, if we miss out on May I highly doubt hes got some superb striker sitting as second choice.
