rik2304 Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Unofficial Twitter saying talks will start with Brian Graham over the next few days, TW will talk to Coventry to try and keep Swanson, and we've two trialists just now. Pleasing. Is that two in addition to Joe Thompson? Or him and one other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Him and one other whos "seasons already ended", which to me suggests his club doesn't have any more fixtures. So lower league and not in Play-Offs from here or down South Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibbydoo Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Probably get shot down for this but is Michael Chopra worth taking a look at? Been in a good vein of form since joining Alloa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat McGroin Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) Probably get shot down for this but is Michael Chopra worth taking a look at? Been in a good vein of form since joining Alloa. Admittedly I've not seen him play but he looked very overweight when I last saw a photo of him. Don't think we should really be looking at more ageing forwards Edited May 7, 2015 by Pat McGroin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibbydoo Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Fair point, was surprised to see he's only 31 though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvhepburn Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Brian Graham signed up by Ross County, probably knows he will get a regular game up there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Quite an unexpected blow, that. Plenty of time to find someone else obviously, but still annoying considering he's just hit the goal trail! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deej Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Wouldn't give up on keeping him just yet - pre contracts don't mean sh*t in Dingwall. 541ntees 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex-montrosesaintee Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 pretty disappointed by that, but perhaps explains why he didn't start on Saturday. His contract isn't up until the end of the season though, so if it's a pre contract agreement, can't we just swap him for their bus? rammsteinally, Jamie_Beatson and 541ntees 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsy Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Well that's what happens when you drop the only striker that's scoring goals and then bring McFadden on before him. Excellent work Tommy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jad Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Brian Graham to Ross County? Is this true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiangsu Sainty Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 The source for the BG to Ross County is their official twitter https://twitter.com/RCFCStaggies I don't want to see him on the pitch for Saints again. I'm not saying he has done anything wrong by going to a club offering him a two year deal, but he can't play v Arabs anyway and we need to be playing St. Johnstone players. (OK maybe he can shore us up a bit v Celtic but thats it) templeofsaints 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Col Kojak Slaphead III Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Brian Graham to Ross County? Is this true? Afraid so. 2 year deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jad Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Just read the Press & Journal where it says Brian Graham has signed a 2 year deal with Ross County and that Jim McIntyre is pleased to have signed him up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex-montrosesaintee Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Not one for knee jerk reactions usually, but would be happy if he doesn't play again for us this season now. Prepare for next season, play Kane. He was excellent against Celtic and Aberdeen earlier in the season, and BG can't play this week anyway. templeofsaints 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex-montrosesaintee Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 And on the basis that we have lost out on BG, I hope TW pulls out all the stops to keep Danny Swanson here next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerthSeany Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 He obviously wasn't enjoying being at Saints as much as he was saying he was anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsy Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 He obviously wasn't enjoying being at Saints as much as he was saying he was anyway. how many games has he started since Christmas? Maybe that's why he's signed for county. Christ it must be soul destroying being on the bench knowing your the only player that's scoring goals and then you see McFadden getting on before you monkfish and HOODLUM65 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ex-montrosesaintee Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 If it was you or I and someone offers you 2 years guaranteed work on good wages what would you do, Know my answer. Can Ross County really offer more than Saints? With the goals he's scored, he was in a strong position to negotiate a 2 year deal with Saints. There was really no risk of him ending up on the scrap heap. Your point would normally be convincing, but I'm not sure I would chose to go to Dingwall when I thought I could stay put for similar money. Possible European football versus a relegation scrap?

lethamsaintee Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Can't blame the guy to be honest, treated a wee bit unfairly by Saints overall. Bit disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerthSeany Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) As people of said he was probably getting fed up being left out. What more can he do to cement a place in the team. Hes possible thought I'll go elsewhere for more regular starts. I also have a feeling we were yet to sit down and discuss an offer with him either. He can't wait forever.
