Mind you slightly better than Parish ,17 in 7. Lawler has to be 1st choice goalie . I reckon both keepers should be lined up with a soft serve ice cream and the first one that gets it into their mouth instead of hitting themselves in the head gets the nod haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My post should not be taken in isolation. Earlier I stated my opinion on CD's holiday and involvement in the transfer market. Again earlier in the tread it was suggested by many that before he went on his 3 week holiday he would have identified players he wanted and leave it to the powers at be.

(Courier - subscription required) If CD is giving interviews while on holiday he can surely get involved in transfers Thought this was a pathetic excuse when people said this last season, even more baffling when the manager comes out with it now. We played four games - the first of which was after the league season had started, so it was hardly like other years in which pre-season would start in the middle of June. We’d been knocked out by the end of August so how Europe can possibly be to blame for the 34 league games that followed from September to May, who knows… R.B.B:- Adz, Kyle, blueheaven and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think you CAN take time off in this job. Different story 25 years ago but I’m sure he’s got an iPhone, is probably spending the day with family and dealing with any pressing issues as and when they arise. i’m sure there will be new unexpected players made available, targets missed etc and that will need to be responded to as and when. I’m certain the majority of wheeling and dealing is probably carried out between agents and managers via WhatsApp or to clubs via email nowadays anyway. That’s how I run my business and how I manage to do so from the South of France for the entire school holidays with my kids in the summer.

Is there any sign of anyone wanting to sign Zander ,McCart or Hendry. I hope they are not holding off signing in the hope that someone will come in for them. I think they should be given a short timescale to re sign. Otherwise draw a line under it and sign replacements. Scott1884 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny B Posted June 8, 2022 Report Share Posted June 8, 2022 St Johnstone manager Callum Davidson wants four or five signings capable of going straight into the first team. (Courier - subscription required) I hope they would be starters capable does not fill me with hope as to me it means may be yes may be no Meanwhile, Saints midfielder David Wotherspoon is unlikely to make his comeback from injury until September or October.

(Courier - subscription required) If we assume Clark, McCart and Hendry are all going to leave and that Davidson isn't going to change his system, I reckon we need at least five signings who can go straight into the first team: goalkeeper, CB, RWB, central midfielder and a forward. That's basically the spine of a new team. Huge task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's basically the spine of a new team. Huge task. I would've thought our centre backs would be Cleary, Gordon, Mahon. So, I'd suggest we only need a back up in that position (Brown could also play there at a push). I wouldn't be averse to signing Lars Dendonker full-time. He wasn't first team material, but is only 21 and showed some promise. Also, I think having a player contracted to a club with a clear path to potential first-team football in a few years tend to give them a better focus.

He needs to get a system to fit his players and not be stuborn trying to get the players to fitb his one and only system Are we just unfortunate to lose McCann, Kerr, Rooney, Clark and McCart and not have a manager capable of replacing them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
