He’s still with us and scoring goals too. I think he’s with the under 17’s or 19’s, although someone might correct me there.

blueheaven Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 Can't see it "confirmed" anywhere, but it's looking good. Seems like Saints might be actually paying a fee for him? I was doing a bit of innocent stalking earlier and spotted that Eetu has followed a few Scottish tourism/photography accounts on Instagram.

You’d assume we will be, but I read his contact was up at the end of 2021 so I can’t imagine we’ll be paying a huge fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is concerning on so many levels. But I like it.

Saintdunc Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 (edited) Mercato: Saint Johnstone will sign Eetu Vertainen Published on : August 2, 2021 (Updated August 2, 2021)/ By Sédric Maurace Assogba Published in the africafootunited website yesterday As we announced on July 26, Eetu Vertainen will sign in Saint Johnstone in the coming days. The information was confirmed by FC Ilves manager Jarkko Wiss who spoke out on the likely departure of his striker. 22-year-old Finnish Eetu Vertainen will definitely not be playing for Finnish club HJK Helsinki this season. Saint Johnstone will announce the striker's signing very soon. “Vertainen will continue his career in St Johnstone. All he needs is the work permit from the local authorities. Ilves manager Jarkko Wiss said. Eetu Vertainen has been self-isolating in Scotland since last week. He could still board the flight to Istanbul for St Johnstone's clash against Galatasaray. But first the Finn must have his papers before the next 24 hours. Edited August 3, 2021 by Saintdunc Coltrane and Cleveland-Saint 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shield&spears Posted August 5, 2021 Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 Great news, bumped into him on Monday in southside of Glasgow. He had nothing but good things to say about Saints, he loved his time with the club and replied "You never know" when I asked if he would come back. Just what we need in our squad!

mainstand Posted August 5, 2021 Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 Great news about Middleton but will hold off on my celebrations until he is standing with his saints strip on as I am sure there was something a few weeks ago about St Mirren having signed him .

Melbourne Saint Posted August 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 Great if true. He's the one player that will make an immense difference to us (noticed on a Galatasaray fans post that he was on £3,200 p/w last season) - money well spent! I'm actually very happy with the way the squad is- real depth in forwards- Kane, MOH will be challenged by May, Hendry. Chuck in Middleton, we can rotate/ deal with injuries, suspensions. Midfield, yes it is a bit of a mess- because of injuries. Spoony, McCann guaranteed. Then pick from Muzz, Craig, Bryson, Gilmour & Eetu-thingie. Shame about Bryson & Gilmour. Gilmour's injury must be pretty bad which is a worry. I don't actually know what his preferred position is, but he probably won't figure for another month. Then the Finn, attacking midfielder which is vital as we're covered by Muzz, Bryson, Gilmour (?) In the holding/ central midfield. Defence bit short. Muller as cover & not much else to cover Rooney & 3 CB's. But overall, if Middleton signs, great. Fly in the ointment is if we sell anyone, but we'll deal with that as it arises...

Still, good backup/ learning period for him. Maybe get a game/sub in cup games. Then there's the Ukrainian for potentially next season if he gets good gametime at Brechin. Would like to see a youngster for CD cover, but don't know whether we have anyone there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueheaven Posted August 6, 2021 Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 I think it's more likely Gilmour who is being groomed as McCann's replacement. Real shame that he's injured at the moment but he has a good long contract now and I'm sure his chance will come. John Bonham 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linky Posted August 6, 2021 Report Share Posted August 6, 2021 Gilmour's injury is a recurring back injury that he picked up when on loan to Telstar. Apparently Norwich were unhappy with how Telstar dealt with it, which was why they recalled him from loan. Hopefully he should be back soon. Great to see Middleton come back. What position is the Finnish player? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballantyne to me looks more in the Wotherspoon mould and wouldn’t be surprised to see him cover that role when Spoony away with Canada.
