That's him. Confirmed by The Courier.

He's a big lad. 6'7 or 6'8, different views on that online. Big lad anyway. Get him up for last minute corners.

Some throw he's got on him. He could be taking throw ins as well.

Nwosu Nathaniel highlight vs Tanzanian..(NIG u23🇳🇬 VS TAN u23🇹🇿…….(saves,Long throws,kicks,)

By the way, tried to embed the above video, but it wouldn't let me.

Supposedly heading to a trial at Aberdeen now.

The glaring need is some with a Buck McCarry leadership along with the skills of Henry Hall, the determination of Willie Coburn, box to box like Philip Scott, Ali McCann. 

We can speculate all we like but the budget will be the great determinator.  I can only hope that the coaching staff have kept a close eye on our loanees and have seen them develop physicality as well as their game.    Has Parker bulked up to be considered for central defence?  Have Mylchreest, Crocks and company developed to an extent we would see them in the squad or even breakthrough.  

Are any like Mitchell, Fisher available at a price we can afford and would they wish to remain in league 2?

Carey’s wonder goal at Livi and assist for Balodis vs Celtic slightly influencing people’s opinion on whether he should be starting matches.

To me he isn’t and shouldn’t be a premier league starter anymore. He’s to bitty in games at this level. One ridiculous worldie pass on the half volley doesn’t cover multiple instances of poor positioning, lack of tracking and misplaced passes.

Fine off the bench, not a starter!

I agree with this. Bring him on with 20 to go if and when needed.

Also, his corners were awful at the weekend. The first one he didn't take was instead taken by Watt, and ended up in a decent chance for Uche.

Does he have the same agent as Sidibeh? The same nonsense going on.

Mitchell is highly thought of at Charlton and wouldn't be available. He'd also be way out of our price range.

Fisher is still under contract at Swansea, so would require a fee to be paid to get him, which we wouldn't.

And also his wage demands would be way above what we could afford. I also can't imagine he'd want to sign, especially if the worst was to happen and we were in the league below.

Does anyone know what level of wages we pay in comparison to Championship teams? (ie similar to Dunfermline or Queens Park).

We’ll pay more

Dunfermline are seemingly getting bankrolled now. Seen rumours of Lennon earning easy 6 figures if he keeps Dunfermline up.

Queens Park have been funded by Lord Haughey for the past few years hence their rise up the divisions!

He's pulling his funding at the end of next season, and gradually downscaling it from now until then.

Believe they've had to scrap their youth team already because of it.

[GMac]

Haughey has announced that he is withdrawing his financial support, so they are f*cked I would imagine, they have already pulled the plug on the youth set up.

Sorry I just seen your post, doh!

I used to hope that the Gloags/ Soutar would buy Saints from Brown and propel us to another level. Wishful thinking!

There was a rumour went round about them investing £30m into Saints, probably started by someone who’d been smoking too much wacky baccy.

Watched this guy play yesterday and he would be incredible alongside his fellow countryman Mikulic. If they know each other he could put a word in.

Croatian, 29, centre half, out of contract next month.

I can't see us signing from the Polish top flight as a Championship side.

Signing a free agent is different than signing from a team.

It is aye, but that relies on him not getting any better offers which someone playing regularly at that level should.

Different players are motivated by different factors. Not always money or prestige.

I'm hoping we can sign some non shitebags. It's been a long time though and I'm not convinced our staffing team actually knows what one looks like.

It's more likely to be Forthbank than the Tony Macaroni! (similar picturesque small city with a diddy football team?)
