Spittal ex Arab is another who can't get a start for his current side. Let's raise the bar guys. Doolan has hit double figures for the past five seasons, you carry on though. Spittal is just a shite Alston. Erskine is awful and is only effective as a number ten. I still believe Sammon would be useful in a "run about a lot" sort of way, Storey is completely wasted by Thistle aswell, much like he was at Aberdeen. Playing him on the left completely stunts him, but hes quick, so he can't play centrally apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOODLUM65 Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 Not disputing Doolan stats. hence my statement we could have done with him 5 years ago. I don't want to look back, Iooking to the future & don't see him in Tommy's plans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linky Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 There’s a few options for striker. I’d take Doolan, he’s a proven goalscorer, but he might want to stay with Partick. Schalke is off to Holland apparently. I’d take Sammon and Billy Mckay at a push, but I think there are better options (& lower wage-earners). Liam Boyce doesn’t seem to have played much for Burton, although this may be down to injury. Scott McDonald has been released and scored a few in the championship this year.

garydavidson Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 If names are just getting thrown about then I see Cammy Bell is leaving Hibs. Always thought he was superb for Killie but lost his way the last few years. Has done well when called upon this season but had a stinker for Rangers in the play offs.

Levein says he'll be giving Sammon a chance in the first team. Boyce had a pretty serious injury, and has played for Burton since recovering. They paid £500k for him. Get McDonald in the ****ing sea.

ss75990 Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 What about Davis Keillor-Dunn from County. One of their youngsters making a breakthrough and when I saw him play was regularly one of their top performers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ScottMann Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 I'm not too impressed with us trying to punt the extremely highly rated 17 years old keeper Ross Sinclair to Liverpool. Tommy should be rubbing his hands with glee at the thought of such a great prospect coming through the Saints ranks and into his first team. Instead he's helped his mate at Liverpool out and is now waiting to see if they'll take Sinclair on. It's a strange one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be a shrewd move - If we get money for him circa a couple of hundred thousand maybe tommy gets to spend it all? 17 Year old keeper realistically has about 5/6 years before he would be hitting the first team - and in the harsh world of football he could get a 4 year deal with Liverpool get releases at 22 and come back to saints with a better level of coaching for 5 year Edited May 18, 2018 by TheMarkChristie Spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you also have to say that giving him the chance to go there is the right thing to do for the player and it'll reflect well on Saints if we're seen to be generating opportunities like that for our youngsters.

cristo Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 I see Billy McKay's name mentioned again. He was good for ICT years agoI feel he's been fairly crap since, just don't see the attraction at all. He's also just been relegated for the fourth season a row, with four different clubs. A real good luck charm. garydavidson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football's full of those. What if we'd agreed terms with Peterborough for Stevie May? Like any player an exceptional one will hit the first team when he's ready. There's also a difference between a club a like Liverpool coming in for a player and us going to them saying come and get him. What if we held on to our outstanding young players, brought them into the first team, had more playing success and sold them for a bigger fee. We're not Chelsea who hoover up young talent to make money out of them and no intention of playing them in their first team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading above I wonder if the boy has been courted by some of the bigger clubs in Scotland and saints would prefer to see him going down south a to forward his career.

Linky Posted May 18, 2018 Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 Surely we wouldn't be touting Ross Sinclair around if there wasn't something in it for the club? Sell on fees, development fees, potential free loans in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
