Strange,signing for a team with no money & cutting players wages. Must be getting more than Saints offered him. Won't go down well with players getting pay cut. Must be hoping they will get money for Boyle. Stoke wanting to sign a road runner that can't cross a ball. Mind you Wright is the perfect like for like replacement.

Melbourne Saint Posted June 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 Not bothered about a player from Torquay. Nice place. But Basil Faulty. Said it previously that Saints would have a management team in place within 10 days. SB may have his detractors, but you can't have a club without management. Interesting if McLean can give Kane a few tips. And hendry. And May. Nice juxtaposition of defense & attack coaches. Feel a bit sorry for Cleland, but life is life. I reckon we'll go for 2 players, winger & midfielder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linky Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 If we're brining in 2 or 3 I'd imagine that would be a centre-back, centre-midfield and a winger (who can play both sides), but it depends what system he is playing. He may want 2 wingers. I imagine we'll be signing players from the lower leagues in England who we've never heard of, but Davidson has seen in his time down there.

I'm sure there's bound to be players released by clubs in Scotland who would be desperate to sign for Saints. However, I'll let Callum do his job.

No it doesn't. Players need to reach at least 80% match fitness before contact training, otherwise they risk injuries.

Give them hell up kinnoull hill for a week & they'll be right To be fair with the fact that players were doing a programme involving a 5k run most days, they probably came back 80% of required fitness. Full contact training just means bigger sessions with no need for physical distancing. Interesting that Livi and Hamilton both decided to hold off on a return to training until full contact training was permitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 I would like Saints to go for Steven Lawless which I have wanted for a few seasons now. Another player I like is Tom Walsh of Caley. Don't think he is out of contract but worth looking at. Both are versatile midfielders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Shaughnessy didn't want to sign a good contract . Wouldn't think he would sign a much reduced contract. Another player who thought the grass was greener.

RandomGuy Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 Shaughnessy would want a hefty wage for a 4th choice CB. Gogic is seemingly wanted by Hibs, so we cant compete. Stephen McGinn couldnt make St Mirrens starting line up last season while captain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wanted to give playing in England a go so he went for it - nothing wrong with that. I'd happily take Shaughnessy back if we were in need of a defender, but under the current circumstances I can't see it. 14 hours ago, Cagey said: Has there ever been a player who has left Saints & gone on to bigger & better things ?. As far as I can remember, every player from the Tommy era who Saints wanted to keep but decided to take a bigger contract elsewhere, went on to have a pretty bad time of it (and in many cases end up back with us). Craig, Swanson, O'Halloran, May etc. Other than Marcus Maddison, who never played for our first team, the last players I can think of who really went on to do significantly better for themselves are Jason Scotland and Stephen Dobbie.

Linky Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 If Davidson is going to play 5-2-3, in terms of defence we just need someone fairly cheap who can be back up at centre back and right back. Perhaps a younger player or someone on loan. Any money we have for wages needs to be spent on a winger who can play left and right. At the moment we only have Wotherspoon & O'Halloran in those positions. We also need a centre midfielder who can be back-up, again perhaps on loan (Butcher?). I always thought Slyvka just released from Hibs was good, but he would've been on a decent wage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
