I wouldn't put it past Jim Goodwin to put in a offer for Brophy.

I'm expecting at least six signings from England. Martin Foyle isn't going to be a paid a wage for just recommending two or three players .

My first thought was that Goodie was on £100k a year and the £250 comp was the outstanding balance of his contract was his agreed release fee . With a further £50k being compensation for Lee Sharp . I,m also wondering if the £85k mentioned as Robertsons release fee was a years wages and was maybe agreed in his contract . Purely speculation..just what I think .

So , in the first instance I would have Jack Ross, failing that would interview Sharp and McManus and see what they have to offer .

Well I got a couple right

He,s got lots of experience in that department. Can still see him end up at Thistle.

Suits their game plan of playing long to two big guys .

And cover for central defence too , and able to play alongside power . Would be a good signing.

Does that include the keeper going to Stenny ?

Or he could be playing for Clyde thus evening

They were there last season and getting regular game time .

Could we see Jamieson and Jack go to Clyde on loan ?

Think it's going to be a busy week , I think the following could happen . Cammy McPherson to St Johnstone for a small undisclosed fee . McGrath will go to a Championship/ League One club , reckon there's a couple of offers been accepted and the issue is what cut of the incoming transfer fee Jamie wants , whether he will stay at St Mirren and St Mirren get no transfer fee . Or whether he is desperate to get playing in England and be on a contract offering £7k plus a week . Main will end up going to an English lower league team on a try snd buy basis . Christian Dennis,s Agent looking to get him to move to an ambitious national league club . Partick Thistle eying up a loan deal for Lee Erwin should Zak Rudden go to Dundee this window . St Mirren will announce two signings from Republic of Ireland and a loan signing from a Premiership club by the end of the week . Pure speculation, looking forward to a few comings and goings as the week moves on .

If he has signed a PCA and we offer him a contract , will it be the case that a fee could be set by a tribunal , so that would mean it makes sense both clubs agree a fee this window . Clever I think . Would still prefer Cammy stays with us

My hope was that it would be Wigan chasing him , to strengthen the squad to push for promotion.

So it seems there is considerable interest in McGrath, let's hope its for a January transfer send not on a PCA.

Are St Mirren shirts and W6er one of the same . BTW I too used to enjoy seeing the shirts .

The only thing the person owning the shirt now could be criticised for is perhaps trying to buy the shirt on the cheap . But maybe he hasn't, maybe he,s Paul good money for it , and the money has been put to good use .

I suspect that a lot of people are being played . The real issue is about who had ownership of the shirt and sold it and their relationship to the Bryceland family who think they should have ownership. That's not my business .

Would like to see a couple of players I ve not heard of break into the Scotland squad a bit like Paterson and Gilmour did last season . Would also like to see a group of young players come to the fore at St Mirren .

Scored today for Dagenham and Redbridge.

He was the reason Liverpool played against us for our centenary match , they wanted first option on him , and to partner him with Hansen . Together they would have been superb .

Two things happened in 1978 that put St Mirren back . Fergie getting sacked was one of them , Bobby Reid getting injured was the other .

McAvennie , McGarvey and McDougall and I would create a system that allowed us to play the three of them up front .

Celtic at home at the start of the 1966 - 67 season , just remember walking up Ferguslie Park Avenue to the game , dont remember much else . Next game was Motherwell away in 1969 , that was Ian Listers debut , who very quickly became my favourite favourite player . We moved around loads during the early seventies, so it was sometimes a tear or two between games .
