Regardless of what Max Johnstone’s wages are, when you add them to the wages of Jason Holt, Danny Swanson, Michael O’Halloran, Liam Craig, Ross Callaghan, Chris Kane, Elliot Parish, Callum Hendry, Callum Booth, Madis Vihmann and think that all of the aforementioned eleven players are almost all guaranteed to be out with the starting 11 against Hibs. It's already been confirmed it's our highest ever wage bill hasn't it? Either way, if we couldnt afford it, we wouldnt have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is not necessarily whether we can afford it or not, the point is more that do we need that much quality as back up squad players on such high wages. Do we need a 3rd choice goalkeeper when we are a club that run such a tight ship, or could we use other means to plug a goalkeeping gap if Clark or Parish got injured.

Of course we need a 3rd choice keeper ffs. We're a top flight side with millions in the bank, a top 8 finish brings in over a million on it's on, folk are speaking as if we're a pub team reliant on 50 fans every second week. rickardo and Cagerf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it's a good idea if it let's our promising young keeper go out on loan. That promising young keeper will either get us money or be pushing for a first team place in a couple of years time. Look at the journey our current keeper as well as Kerr, Gordon, May, Kane and McCann have taken. Don't be so shortsighted, embrace the system, it works.

Cagey Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 The Dundee United bit was a dig at the ammout of money they spent & the debt they are in. Also usually the money spent usually equates to success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny B Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 Did not want start a new topic Stevie May has now played the equivalent of 7 matches in game time, he has played 625 minutes and scored 1 goal with 0 Assists. I was expecting more. 27 league games left at this rate, he will be lucky to score 4 more. We need more from him. All summer we were looking for a stiker to score goals and last season complained about the return from our strikers.

rik2304 Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 Should do away with the ballboys IMO. Players not in the squad should doing it. Or selling pies/match day programmes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOODLUM65 Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 McCann had 1yr extension to his contract in May this year. The Club need to get him on a long contract, as his present contract expires May 2020. Don't wait till the winter break.

Just don’t mention Lawrence Shankland to RG. He’ll quote you some random statistics from 1982 about Shanklands attempts off target vs on target vs headers vs passes completed before penalties or some pish like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can see why United wanted him this season given his record in the Championship, but let's wait and see how he does in the top flight (if the Arabs even get there!). If the reports of what United are paying him are true, then there's no way he would have come to Saints anyway. Kyle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shankland would be earning more than any player in our squad, based on 6 good months at Ayr (he barely scored after the turn of the year). You can point to what hes doing now, but I fully understand why the club didnt go all in on him in the Summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
