Michael Mancienne training with the squad this morning. 

Right age group for Callum at 33. Played for England at all age groups up to under 21s.

Centre half but can play across the back & we need experience in defence.

Might be a decent signing.

He’s got some pedigree, but he’s 33.
3 weeks off being match fit isn’t the end of the world, we waiting about 6 years for Melamed and that ended ok.

Callum clearly thinks we need some more experience across the back line. Not sure how popular ousting one of our three well regarded young centre backs for a 33 year old would be. Arguably it could be more valuable for all involved if our “inexperienced” young guns played a full season as a trio and kept us up. Good for their value, confidence, relationships and for fans to see us putting trust in our youths. Another tough call for Callum.

Mind you, Michael Duberry was 33 when he signed for us.

Alan Kernaghan was also over 30 and at the wrong end of his career, like Duberry, when he signed . Both did the business, despite that.

Unless one of the three is the subject of an acceptable offer this window!!!!!

St Johnstone manager Callum Davidson is hopeful of adding at least one new player to his squad - but is also surprised that his phone hasn't been ringing about midfielder Ali McCann.

Davidson reckons the 21-year-old Northern Ireland international has been his best performer this season and McCann was in the spotlight again with a fine winner in Saints' 3-2 win away to Kilmarnock.

"I think I'm just going to switch my phone off tonight," the manager joked.

However, Davidson is still hopeful of completing the signing of former Arsenal midfielder Charlie Gilmour, the 21-year-old who has impressed on trial after being released by Norwich City.  BBC
