Saintdunc Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 A keeper should be on our agenda as Zander is surely on an agenda somewhere. Surely we can find a keeper of the quality that Dundee Utd have unearthed. I also hope there are going to be more than a couple more on the door then we can send a couple away back to their parent clubs. Apart from THAT free kick Middleton has not set the heather on fire.

Melbourne Saint Posted January 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 Saints are in a bit of a pickle with Clark & McCart, which must be sorted soon. Hopefully if Aberdeen & Utd are indeed interested, we might get some coin if they are competing. So, we'll likely need a keeper & a defender. Maybe a decent defender on loan now Devine & Dendoncker gone. God knows if we go in again for the Partick lad. Makes Eetu's position very precarious if we do. This window has a pretty nervous feel to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe don’t score as much but still puts work in. Putting a shift in should be compulsory. He wouldnae get a game for any other team in the league.

Stormy39 Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 Do we know if Partick are short for cash? Spotted a comment on one of their feeds saying that they are £350k "adrift" of the other clubs in the Championship and so they may have to wheel and deal in order to secure signatures. We should definitely go back to them and negotiate hard for Rudden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saints are starting from a severely disadvantaged position on this occasion. Bottom and in some dissaray. As in the case of Shaw who picked Motherwell rather than joining the bottom placed club. Some will relish the challenge of coming to McD to try and make a difference. Others will take the easy route and/or follow the money. We can but hope.

This window has a pretty nervous feel to it. Absolutely no danger we should be letting go of Clark this window. Not even for £250k. Let him leave on a free in the summer, he’s hardly irreplaceable.

Rob Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) If Clark goes then I wouldnt be surprised if we didnt replace him immediately and Parish got the #1 shirt. Dont think we should be letting him go this window. He's probably been our best player this season. Shaw might regret not coming to Saints as he is not guaranteed a game at Motherwell. Pretty sure he would have got straight into our 1st team. Edited January 7, 2022 by Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rik2304 Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 If we make Parish the no.1 we'd be as well just putting up the white flag and preparing for next season in the championship. Linky, Setting Son and Havana Saint 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSJ.84 Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 Letting Clark go this window has to be a non-starter. Without him, who knows how far adrift we’d be. We aren’t in the position to risk bedding in a new ‘keeper. I think I’d rather take the hit and lose him for free in the summer than go through what United went through with Kawashima, or Killie went through last season.

RandomGuy Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 Losing Clark would be suicide. Expecting Parish to be number 1 next season would be stupid regardless of what division we end up in. Radford 72 and Havana Saint 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pezza70 Posted January 7, 2022 Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 Anyone know if Thistle are genuinely looking at offers for Rudden or are just taking the piss during the current window? I hope we have a plan B and C in the pipes incase Thistle have no intentions to move him on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They either take a fee now, or gamble on him signing a new deal with the knowledge it likely ends with then getting nothing in the Summer if he leaves.

If the club receives decent offer for any of them they'd have to talk about it. I'd say only Clark is irreplaceable if it's done early in the window. garydavidson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pezza70 Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 Surely Clark would be looking at OF or championship level down south? Utd or Aberdeen is the same as playing for us standard wise but I’m sure the bump in wages would be a considerable jump saintgscot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have to sit in the stand until next season as he has played for United and Beerschot so far this season., Cannot see Saints paying a wack of money for that to happen.
