Kyle Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Sanctioned 6 signings. But we've lost more than 6 players from last year including all the loans.You can hardly argue we needed defensive cover. With Wright and Millar going we've added Joe, McKay and Fisher. McKay is young and probably seen as one for the future. The other two are also young and you can't rely on their form so bringing in one more made sense.In midfield we've lost Swanson and Croft. We've only brought in Craig. Then finally add up all the 8 young lads we've got out on loan I'd say we are due a midfielder. Tommy knows the situation at the club and knows what was missing from the squad. At the tail end of last season, he said he wanted a striker and 2 wingers in addition to McKay at a meet the manager event. At that point it seems he was after 4 players. He's signed six now and not one of them could be considered a winger.Going through the squad, we've replaced Banks with the returning Zander Clark. No complaints there.We've replaced Miller and Wright with Shaughnessy, McKay and Fisher. He's rationalised that by saying he's always felt we're one short at the back. I don't think we were considering Wotherspoon can cover at right back and Mackay and Shaughnessy could easily shift into the centre, but there we go.Brown has gone out on loan, so I guess you could argue Craig is the place holder there at the moment. Good business from a Saints point of view.We've not replaced Croft, but with O'Halloran moving over to the right and Wotherspoon and Caddis capable of playing there, that's probably ok too.We've not replaced Swanson at all on the left. Considering O'Halloran is much stronger on the right - probably our most dangerous player playing from that position - that further exposes Tommy's decision to add an additional defender last week, rather than a left winger. Craig is an option there, but he drifts inside a lot and leaves Easton exposed. Lappin is useless everywhere.We've replaced McFadden and Graham with Cummins and Sutton. Fair enough, that's a 1 in 1 out basis.I'm not saying Tommy hasn't done well in this window - I think he generally has. It was clear for all to see that the left wing was the area we needed to strengthen this summer. He hasn't done that and I'm worried we'll suffer as the season goes on as a result. Thankfully the strikers are scoring and O'Halloran is creating at the moment. We can't just rely on one player to do that all season though, especially as we could lose him in January if his form continues the way it's started. Lt.

Highland Saintee Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Islam Feruz may have been a good deal. See him as a young, fit and eager version of Hasselbaink. Or he could just be a wee t*** still...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widge Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Adam Hamill has been released by Huddersfield. Did this winger play for a Scottish premier team at one point?Is he any good?Yeah he played for Dunfermline circa 10 years ago. Talent, but fitness/mentality issues.

RandomGuy Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Seems like Swansons playing for Coventrys U21s today. Which seems to rule out any transfer.Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 It turns out that Swanson is NOT playing for Coventry's u21s. It was a misprint! Coventry City @Coventry_City 4m4 minutes ago Correction - Jordan Shipley starts for the Under-21s in place of Danny Swanson. #PUSB Retweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dooj Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/coventry-city-transfers-st-johnstone-9968808Very non-specific about 'sources'. However, I suspect that the journo involved must have something reasonably concrete to write a separate article for this rather than leaving it to languish on the live feed as a rumour.
