Sergei Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 Not the worst playing record for a free agent as we head for December. I take it he's ready to play given our shortage of frontmen and it's such a short initial contract. John Bonham 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueheaven Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 He was offered a new contract by Wigan at the end of last season but didn't accept it. Wonder if he had something else lined up that fell through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a couple of years at Birmingham when Gary Rowett was there so I expect that's the link. ETA - Also it looks like Rowett was in charge of Birmingham when they picked up the potential defensive signing Daniel Cleary from Liverpool. Beginning to think he's a better of Head of Recruitment than the bloke Saints brought in. Edited November 24, 2021 by Sergei Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintdunc Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 More impressively, he went to CSKA for a season, played over 20 games until Covid arrived. Shame it isn’t until the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame it isn’t until the end of the season. Looks like a marriage of convenience. Quite a few mentions of him going to Cardiff until McCarthy was sacked a couple of weeks ago. If true, he gets the rustiness out of his legs and in the shop window for a lower Championship/League One side while we get a likely decent player to help us get over our injury blip.

MySpazz Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 (edited) Will come on as a sub, run around ALOT, play 5 games, give it all for the contract in January and then leave with an injury end of season........... how many times have we seen this calibre of journeyman and he has all those traits aged 25! Doesn't look great IMO. Hope I'm wrong! Edited November 25, 2021 by MySpazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny B Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 Do we play with wingers or wingbacks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Saints Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 2 minutes ago, Johnny B said: Do we play with wingers or wingbacks? Both, in a sense. We use wingers as advanced wide forwards, ahead of the wing backs, when we play the 5-2-3/3-4-3 formation. The role of the traditional 'winger' seems to be becoming a bit less common in modern football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think your Miles out This guy had pedigree way above St.johnstone wage bracket, perhaps even every team in Scotland bar OF I see it as him doing us a favour to get us over injury crisis If he gets regular games in his spell,I reckon he will we might be able to sign him till end of season if he likes it and of course if he is good enough He will be off to a team playing above our level at some point.We will be lucky to have him for 6 months to a year max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
