McPherson isn't good enough I'm afraid bench warmer at best. Need a centre half, midfielder,two attacking midfielders/wingers , Striker 12 hours ago, Brian Potter said: MacPherson getting the no.8 shirt is just not right. You guys are worried about a competent young midfielder like MacPherson when we are potentially going to start the season with Tony Gallagher at LB, Ryan McGowan at RB and Graham Carey & Ali Crawford in midfield. Bigger fish to fry springs to mind!! Edited July 12, 2023 by R.B.B:- Adz Coltrane, garydavidson, blueheaven and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintdunc Posted July 12, 2023 Report Share Posted July 12, 2023 If the stories about our finances are true, then we will be getting down (sic) with the kids this season and make no signings. pezza70 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a few people saying this but I don't see any reason to think we won't make any signings. Macca's made it pretty clear that he has a budget to spend and is actively pursuing targets. No matter the financial situation, it'll be much worse if we don't strengthen and end up getting relegated as a result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rik2304 Posted July 12, 2023 Report Share Posted July 12, 2023 I don't see why the new regime would lie. They've been clear about making 3-4 signings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linky Posted July 12, 2023 Report Share Posted July 12, 2023 I imagine the financial situation is bad, but we've lost of big earners and so there will still be a decent budget. I'm expecting 11 key players, and then 11 youngsters and squad players like Crawford. We just won't be buying in the quantity we did before. If the Bulgarian 'keeper joins and it's a sign of the way forward, it looks like the manager is searching for players of a decent age from England who might put themselves in the shop window to be sold on, which should really be our key market. We have to sign for free, with the view to sell on for a fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueheaven Posted July 13, 2023 Report Share Posted July 13, 2023 These really do not sound like the words of a manager who is about to reveal the signing of Gary Mackay-Steven. "You will probably not see me signing older players, I will not say I will not sign older players but I want to sign young, energetic people that can play the way I want to play." garydavidson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"We are close, hopefully in the next day or two we will have a signing. We are working on a few others. There have been a few knock backs but I know where the club is financially and if people are demanding a load of money then I am not overpaying for them . We have a budget and I am comfortable with it." https://www.perthstjohnstonefc.co.uk/news/article/minutes-from-last-meeting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be pretty surprised if waiting for PA pub days to give the paper the scoop was still a thing. The PA posts online updates every day, just like other papers, and the club's own social media is generally where signings are first revealed now.

Yes, I should have added some emojis to my post to indicate my intended meaning of the pointlessness of any paper trying to 'scoop' anything nowadays.
