You were telling us (if you use the same name on p&b) that this was all finalised weeks ago (and apparently you are itk). So, What happened??

Club could’ve done what Dundee Utd did and announce it ‘pending a work permit’ but they’re clearly waiting until it’s official.

Linky Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 Isn’t Ali Crawford a centre midfielder? The position in which we currently have 5 players competing for 2 places? Hope this doesn’t mean McCann is off, or Bryson is retiring due to injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, cheers for the clarification This work permit stuff is a nightmare. I imagine it’s really difficult for whoever is sorting out the paperwork at the club!

Bournemouth and Barnsley in talks with Celtic over Ryan Christie which could mean Celtic coming knocking for McCann. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE LARK SAINT Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 I believe there is an option to extend loan or sign permanently if it works out with us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't play in the middle of the park. Absolutely no idea where he fits into our system, unless we're now changing it to facilitate an injury prone 30yo loanee.

saintee in exile Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 Well CD did say in a recent interview that he had learnt that one way isn't the only way so maybe he is going to tinker with the system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No McCann will be here next season In my opinion Crawford is a replacement for Craig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we play with a CAM then it can only be the same shape we used v United, which didn't seem to work at all and also won't work with Wotherspoon in the same team.

Pat McGroin Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 Feels a bit like the Scougall deal, this. Hope I’m wrong R.B.B:- Adz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea what happens if we get to the end of the transfer deadline today and clearance hasn’t come through? Can he still sign outside the window as the process was started before window closed?

Last reports were that he had turned down two contract offers back homeland wanted to play in the UK. Maybe he will also get that big move to St Mirren. mainstand 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE LARK SAINT Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 I see Coventry have released Brandon Mason,wee left back that was on loan at St.Mirren wonder if he is someone we may try to get! Seemed fast and agile enough but would he be good enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
