SaintSam1884 Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Only 90 minutes left of the window. Looking increasingly likely we won't be signing anyone tonightWhy would we release Caddis knowing MOH was about to leave then sign nobody?

RandomGuy Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Robert Thomson @robertthomson55 1 min1 minute agoDanny Swanson will sign for St Johnstone. But since he's a free agent, doesn't have to be done tonight. @scotsunsport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin James Is On Stilts Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Brooner will have been be tucked up in bed for hours. He'll be even more comfortable tonight with that extra 500k stuffed under the mattress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest Saints Fan Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Aye Swanson is coming and that'll be it until we see what free agents are floating about this week. Underwhelming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Abysmal business from Saints. We're getting weaker every window, all the money in the banks will be whittled away subsidising us as wee make losses due to dropping down the league/down a division again. Needed Brown to bold and strike while big teams were weak but hes missed that opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, there aren't any really decent players available for sensible money in this window as the decent players are at clubs who want to keep them. So perhaps we might keep our resources for the new season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Swanson can now sign after the windowlast season Coventry released him on the understanding , I think that he sign for Saints. It never happened. Not convinced it will this time if Arabs come in for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ScottMann Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Swanson was signing for us at the last window after he'd negotiated his release from Coventry. There was no rush as a free agent he could sign for us at any time. People were tweeting it was a done deal. Excuse me if I hold back on opening the champagne for a bit longer.

Folk said the same thing the Summer May left and we ended up with Lappin and Graham on loan. Chairman just seems reluctant to invest in the first team.

templeofsaints Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 I've not seen too many names mentioned that I'd have classed as an inspiring signing. Swanson, if he comes, is probably well short of match fitness so isn't going to set the heather on fire.For all that the departures have probably not causes major issues. O'Halloran was a good player but we've not seen much sign of that for a few months. Caddis rarely got any first team action and Gareth Rodger was obviously not a big prospect for the club.Since the weekend we've been going on about the age of the squad and to give the youngsters a chance - Kane, Thomson, Zander etc. This is the time to do that - we've got a leaner "first choice" squad by at least 1, possibly 2 so that gives a couple of more spaces for the youngsters to get a chance. Injuries and suspensions will probably help that.Saints youth policy costs a fair bit to run - I'd like to see us reap some benefits from that than just go out and sign Player X to fill a gap that we can possibly fill from within our own ranks.

RandomGuy Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Outwith those three nobody in the youths are even close to being good enough at the moment. Our squad is absolutely threadbare outwith the goalkeepers and strikers. saintee in exile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression that he was a good prospect.rather like Caddis, he's been a good prospect for a while. Comes a point when players want to play football and not just in the reserves I guess. Did he not get a nasty injury playing for Montrose? Doesn't seem to have had much success since.

rik2304 Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 So, we've released two fringe players and sold one influential first team player. Earning the club some £500,000. If we only sign Swanson will the extra money be used to get Dow and Alston on pca? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we only sign Swanson will the extra money be used to get Dow and Alston on pca?Not convinced we're signing either tbh, both are being linked with numerous bigger clubs. Seeing as I can't sleep, I've decided to look at the positives. We're now at 19 senior players (including goalkeepers), with Easton currently injured, Fisher being hopeless, Mackays hip giving up on him, Millar unable to last 90 minutes, Muzz unable to go four months without an injury, MacLean unable to play on plastic and Sutton being turned into stone, we're highly unlikely to ever have a fit player sitting in the stand.
