Cummings been told to find another club in January anyone think he’d do a job for us

If he can't score in a team like Dundee who at least try to attack & have Adam threading killer passes ,he is not going to score for us with one chance a game.

I think we could bring Ranaldo in & not score.

Cummings. How's his pressing game? Does Gary Rowett know him?

A complete and utter waste of space, the only way I would have him at the club was a pay per game deal and not allowed near the changing rooms to keep his disruptive behaviour at bay.

Feel like you must have watched a different Dundee to the one I've seen this season. They're not struggling along near us at the bottom end of the league by accident.

Dundee are not an ultra defensive team like us and have scored twice as many as us., My point is if he can't score for them he is not going to score for Saints.

How much would you suggest he pays us to be allowed to play?  Another condition would be he is not allowed near any penalties we might(!!!!) get.

Isnt he another of these “Scottish Internationslists” that got given 7 minutes against the Isle of Wight by Bertie Vogts or somebody?

Hearts manager saying they would want s decent fee for Walker. No word of who is interested in him.

Jamie Walker scored the winner for Hearts today. Has his agent played a blinder there?

[rik2304 4,733]

Most important January in our history is coming up.

[Sergei 57]

I don't expect a load of permanent signings. Given where we are it's going to be even more difficult than usual to get players to sign permanently for us. Personally I'm not bothered if they're long term or short term. The only priority is getting out of the hole we're in and if that means paying over the odds for a few months for a couple of players that we couldn't normally afford then that's fine by me. 

[Saintdunc 824]

Would have thought that if Cleary was coming we might have heard something today now that he is clubless. Jamie Walker would strengthen our miserable midfield so all we need to find is a striker who actually knows where the onion bag is.

Jamie Walker says wants to stay at heart's so think that's ones a no chance

I'd get Matty Kennedy myself

A fit matty kennedy would fit in really well to the shape we are playing and would be a great asset to the team. Seemingly has a long term back problem though and hasn’t kicked a ball all season. Given we need folk coming in to hit the ground running I’m not sure we would go for it or its what we need if its going to take months to get him fit.

Cleary training with us https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/sport/football/st-johnstone/2840913/daniel-cleary-st-johnstone-dundalk-january/

[Rob 244]

With scoring goals being a problem for years and our limited budget I really feel that in the Summer we should have been looking at signing some youngster from one of the lower English leagues looking to make his mark. Think thats our market. Cant believe theres not youngsters out there that fitted the bill. Someone a bit rough around the edges but someone who offered something quite different to what we have.

Excellent, and I hope he is a Kerr clone!

I was particularly interested in this comment by CD, “Dan had other options with more money, but he wanted to come back to the UK to challenge himself.I really liked that about him because he could have stayed at home to pick up a wage but he’s keen to push himself.”

League of Ireland paying more than Scottish clubs ?.

The other option was about the best side that regularly plays in Europe.

And there's every chance that whatever their TV deal it's better than ours!

How do you know that all the "other options with more money" were from the League of Ireland?

It was in reference to the comment that Dan had other options with more money but he wanted to come back to UK.

Shamrock Rovers were linked with him, you'll probably find a club like Larne were too.

Irish clubs seem to spend more than you expect them to these days. Dundalk got themselves into a lot of financial bother.

Millwall looking again in January whether to recall Muller. I would assume Dendonker & Devines clubs will be doing the same.

Hopefully Middleton's as well.

We do need to free off a few loans in order to get in our new striker.

With Saints lack of use of our loanees ,clubs may not want to loan to Saints.

Yeah it was pretty pointless signing so many loanees and then not playing them.They were predominantly defensive players as well  when it was offensive players we were short on

Who could have foreseen that young defenders with zero experience would not be ready for our first team?
