Oldmuirton Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 He looks sensational in that clip. Lots of skill there , combined with enthusiasm and energy. Looks like a great signing. pezza70 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gekko Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 I feel that up front we're a bit short and also lacking in power and strength. We could do with a big centre forward who had a bit about him to annoy the opposition and give them something to think about. It doesn’t feel we have anybody who could worry the defence of any team and it seems like ages since we’ve had somebody that was able to do this. Bair had the size to be able to play this part but frustratingly never did. May, Jephcott and Clark are all on the small side for that job. Kane might be the closest we have but he’s still under six feet and who knows what’s going on there? Wonder if Haaland has a brother?

We need a striker, preferably a target man but so do lots of teams but we are shopping in freebie market so we have no chance of picking up a decent striker. Our only hope is a young loanee. If only we could have got young Lowry who changed the game yesterday. Having watched the Killie game he is miles ahead of any of the new guys they have signed.

Saintdunc Posted August 6, 2023 Report Share Posted August 6, 2023 Louis Moult, 31 year old English journeyman, had the freedom of Gayfield for Dundee United, and was Man of the Match by a country mile. I know it's not the same standard as our Premiership where he played for Well, but there are some players busting a gut in League 2, and the National League, who could waltz it in Scotland, like Paul Mullins at Wrexham who scored for fun at Cambridge and for his present club. I know we could never entice him but there are some decent goalscorers down there and must be worth a punt, surely, especially as none of ours are likely to get double figures unless Jephcott is the icing on the cake! In Macca we trust to unearth a gem of a big target man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tucker Posted August 7, 2023 Report Share Posted August 7, 2023 Eric Nicolson has said saints are still looking for a winger, attacking midfielder,Striker But would imagine more.Hopefully same quality as Macca has done well so far . rebuild is shaping up good so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.B.B:- Adz Posted August 7, 2023 Report Share Posted August 7, 2023 (edited) Mitov Olufunwa McClelland ?? ?? Wright Smith Phillips ?? May Jephcott Sinclair, Brown, Booth, Gordon, MacPherson, Ballantyne, Kucheryavyi, Clark, ?? Still need 3/4 in. 100% need a left winger/sided attacking player. Centre half and left back would REALLY improve things but not deemed essential as Macca probably feels Gordon/Considine and Gallagher are good enough if part of a more solid starting 11. Back up striker if Kane isn’t likely to back anytime soon. Never going to happen but would still like to see us try and offer to a way of offloading McGowan, Carey, Crawford, Considine and Gallagher and try to replace them with slightly younger squad players.

Some people are ok with meh. Flying right back Ryan McGowan of 2012 I’d absolutely bite your hand off for at Saints. Young, dynamic going forward, determined to be the best he can be, ruthless in the tackle and adventurous when he could be.. Is that the player you see? He’s become a jack of all trades and master of none. Edited August 7, 2023 by R.B.B:- Adz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s become a jack of all trades and master of none. Teams with small squads need jack of all trades. I would keep McGowan as he never gives less than 100%. Would even make him captain. We have to find a way to release Crawford and Considine. Strange why Clark are out for so long. tucker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linky Posted August 7, 2023 Report Share Posted August 7, 2023 McGowan is a fine squad player. He can play multiple positions and draws a foul. I’d say left winger will be the next player to come in. I can’t see us signing any more defenders. If Clark & Kane are out for longer, then maybe another striker on loan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueheaven Posted August 7, 2023 Report Share Posted August 7, 2023 I think McGowan's going to be an important player for us this season. Does the simple stuff pretty well, brings lots of experience to a young squad, can plug holes in a few different positions. Obviously I'd love us to have better and I'd expect we'll probably move on from him next season, but at this stage of the re-build I don't think replacing him is a priority. Considine I think will still be needed as back-up and I don't have any issue with that. Crawford's one I just can't see any place for even during an injury crisis and surely he'll be away by the end of the transfer window, even if just out on loan?
