It's clear we have very little knowledge of Dara Costelloe yet some seem intent on deriding his abilities before we've seen what he brings us. Surely we should be giving the lad our full hearted support and encouragement. Setting Son and lindz105 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im just stating he struggled at Bradford and that U23 EPL level isnt a great level, while contesting that hes a "level up" from Drey Wright. Theres a middle ground between saying hes hopeless and saying hes incredible. Edited August 18, 2023 by RandomGuy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres a middle ground between saying hes hopeless and saying hes incredible. It's not having a go at you, or anyone really. It just seems we can be a glass half empty bunch sometimes (perhaps with some justification given the recent past)! I'm trying to stay positive and think that the signings this window plus background changes maybe hint that, whilst we may not yet be turning the corner, at least the corner is in sight.

Don't think he would be getting much game time with Saints given that when everyone fit we have midfielders coming out our ears. I think Marvin Bartley will get the best out of him. pezza70 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From one extreme to the other. I assume there is no hope of Gallacher or Booth if we are bringing in a left back when it's a striker we need. Not convinced Dara is the answer as a striker , maybe wide left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume there are worries over Booth’s fitness which is why Robinson is arriving. Similarly I think Costelloe is cover whilst Kane & Clark are injured. I imagine we’re still looking for a non-loan signing on the left wing. I think that will be it though. Maybe Parker & Crawford out on loan.

Cagey Posted August 19, 2023 Report Share Posted August 19, 2023 I said before as a piss take but with all those youngsters being signed I think we need some experience and I think we could do worse than Pawlett and GMS.

jjohndb Posted August 20, 2023 Report Share Posted August 20, 2023 Just think if we'd had this social media stuff back in the 60's! It's all hot air garbage! The result is determined on the pitch and the training ground. The team is under preforming due to lack of fitness see luggy and Willie for direct evidence.

Linky Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 He’s a centre midfielder, more defensive. Played in the Austrian top division until recently, but not always first choice. Career went downhill recently, and was on a short-term contract with a club that was relegated from the second division. So, I’d assume if we’re looking for a CM, that’s the end for Crawford, and we’d go for Smith & another player as the main CM pairing, with MacPherson & Philips as back up.

akuram Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 Why do not ever sign a big target man who can hold the ball and take the pressure of the defence? Seems obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems obvious. Big strikers are not easy to come by and Saints aren't going to spend silly money after last season. Mind you Livi and Killie seem to manage to pick them up. Van Veen at Motherwell.
