MrBored Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 No inside knowledge, but I would have thought that a fair chunk of the playing budget will be tied up in the extensions we have offered to the existing players. Until we know for sure they are going to turn these down or withdraw them, then we have to assume they are going to be taken up (regardless of how unlikely that may be). So we will have to wait for agents to come back to us regarding these and that is unlikely to be any time soon. Also, I wonder if we will ever see Eetu playing for us.

glenrothes saintee Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 Ali Crawford signed on 6 month deal on Saints Twitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 Crawford not featured for Bolton this season & only started 4 games on loan at Tranmere last season. On the surface not looking good but he was a decent player at Hamilton so hopefully Callum can get the best out of him. A team should build on their success but unfortunately we look like we haven't improved our squad this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintJet Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 21 hours ago, The Real Saints said: I think it’s quite clear? Somebody understandably criticises a current footballer for racism and paedophilia, and the general response is purely concern that the forum might get ‘censored’ for some reason, despite the information being readily accessible in the public domain. Somebody buries their head in the sand in regards to racism and then attempts to justify paedophilia by saying that the girl ‘looked in her early 20s’, and his post gets multiple ‘likes’ for it. Absolutely bizarre. Leigh Griffiths is in Dundee and has signed up for a season long loan move. That's the last word on this part of the discussion.

Seemed fast and agile enough but would he be good enough? We have two good quality left backs though. Not sure that's something we need, as it's a part of the pitch we're pretty strong.

Melbourne Saint Posted August 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) Wonder whether this signing is the first from the new guy in charge of player evaluation, or whether on CD's radar prior?

Linky Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 I'm quite happy with signing a player like Crawford on a short-term loan. He was good in the past, he has it all to prove, if it doesn't work out then back he goes and we lose nothing. I just can't see how he fits into the team, and I'm worried that we couldn't find a striker so we've signed an attacking midfielder instead, or he's a McCann replacement. The other option is that he's cover for MOH on that right side, so essentially a Conway replacement, but he's never been a winger before.

Cagey Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 Tommy Wright scooping up all the strikers. He already has Scott Robinson & he has now signed Gullen & Shaw. I think he had a young striker who scored a hatrick earlier in the season & was good in the air. Maybe we could get him on loan. Tommy must have a big budget. Killie gambling on a quick return to premiership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indicator Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) Transfer deadline posturing? They need someone like him to bolster their midfield, apparently. McCann has been popular (wrt transfers) on Celtic blogs for months now. Most suggesting that their club should be making a move for the Saints player. Personally, I would hope that he didn't go to any of our direct competitors particularly one/either of the twins. I'm not hopeful.
