cristo Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Thank god for that. When I saw the title of this thread I thought for one horrible minute we had signed him. No not now, no thank you. So did I, and I was frightened to open it. Phew!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy Saints Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 FFS......KK's granny would be more mobile & less injury prone! Surely Saints would have more ambition than that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandtully Saint Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) Seen him in a pub in Brechin a few seasons back. Apparently he torn a muscle while lifting up his pint He would make the team worse rather then better if we signed him, just another Craig B.

OldPoster Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 If picked up on a pay as you play deal and forced to wear saints training gear while sitting in Ladbrokes, could be some free advertising for the club? In reality players at the level we are cannot afford to take pay as you play deals, Think if the guy is based in Glasgow and trains 4 days a week, then doesn't get a game then its cost him a couple of hundred quid to train. Big EPL teams can do this but only because they are paying the players about 5/10k a week with a silly bonus of like 30/40k for playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of any, and really can't see it being an option for most players in this country, or (as you say) in any league below the EPL. Doubt it's something that would even be considered.

RandomGuy Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 No If needs be I'll post up his goalscoring record to show how terrible he really is as a striker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintDinky Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 No, no, NO. He's past it, injury prone, overweight and would be of as much benefit to the team as Derek Adams in a sumo suit. IF we need another striker, would like to think Tommy will be setting his sights a little bit higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

byebyedundee Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 He's screwed up a fantastic opportunity to invest and provide for a fantastic future however he's not the first or will he be the last to piss away thousands.. At least he's humble enough to do what it takes to help his family.... PS So glad he never got the opportunity and pissed away any of St Johnstones money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldPoster Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Fair play to the guy, has been a footballer from the age of 16 so wont have any highers or further education and is bringing in £20,000 a year for his family - Well Done I would say There are loads of ex pro's or even current part time pro's who wont get off their arse and do things for themselves Jiangsu Sainty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
