  3. Alan's first signings

    in General St. Mirren Discussion

    I'd say we need a Goalkeeper, centre half, winger, attacking mid and despite today's signing, another one or two centre forwards. I already felt we needed two forwards before Reilly left. 
    That's on the basis that no one from the current squad leaves which I also can't see being the case. 


    Not sure we need 2 more centre forwards. We only play with one up front! Kellerman is the attacking midfielder sorted.

    Need a defensive midfielder IMO, another full back and agree with you on keeper, centre half and winger.

    The site gets spammed very occasionally. Nothing to worry about as a user; just a pain in the arse.

    Was this site visited by some oriental hackers or was it the Hong Kong St Mirren supporters club making some comments, or was it just my computer?

    Wonder if PB will be along to make a joke about it......  :ph34r:

    Let's assume this guy turns out to be decent, I think it's precisely the kind of transfer that we all hoped Stubbs would bring to the table. Rated young English lad on a long contract that we might be able to sell on for a profit if he does well. 

    I, for one, welcome this approach. 

    Same approach brought us James Marwood mind you.....

    Can' t be bothered to check exact figures but I'm sure Reilly will be on double the career goals of Mullen, mostly at a higher level.

    That's not a reason for keeping Reilly! I want us to sign a new striker - someone better than Reilly!

    Mullen is decent cover for striker, out wide and Cammy Smith.

    If Mullen had scored 22 goals for us last season there's a good chance he'd be looking to get a better deal elsewhere as well. 

    But he didn't. He scored 3 and is still with us.

    Let's not pretend that we'd rather have Mullen than Reilly just because our ego is a bit dented because Reilly didn't sign the new deal.

     

    Mullen scored 7 league goals last season. Reilly scored 11.

     

    Mullen started fewer games than Reilly, spent half the season with an inferior club and played some of the time on the wing.

     

    Mullen is under contract whilst Reilly isn’t, hence why Reilly was looking for a new deal and Mullen wasn’t!

     

    A striker who scores 11 goals in the Championship for a side that wins the league doesn’t sound like the sort of striker who would be prolific in the top flight.

     

    Gavin Reilly is this season’s Donnie McDowell.

    Aye and I am just saying they DON'T have a manager in place but are still signing players, and if the guy doing the signing was managing the team, why would they be looking for 1  :lol:  :byebye

    Its not hard to figure out Sherlock! :P

    I believe the Netherlands play in that colour because it is their national colour . Scotland play in the colour they play in because the original Scotland strip was just a Queens Park strip with a Scotland badge on it , since all the players in the original Scotland squad played for Queens Park. .

    ETA - I believe that Italy and Australia also have a national colour for sports teams as their national cycling squads play in the same colours. .

     

    Dark blue seems to have been adopted as the colour of Scottish national sports teams as well, despite it not being the colour of the saltire.

     

    Wales only have the red from the dragon, the majority colour in their flag.

     

    Northern Ireland and England also don’t follow the colour of their flags.

     

    Its the rest of the world which is out of line in terms of using their flag colours for their strip.

     

    Apart from Germany, Italy, Holland, Australia, etc, etc.......

    Those signings were a bit more than fine tuning. Along with Broadfoot, they were the outstanding players in the side!
     
    You’re right though. They don’t happen very often!

    Yet it was David Van Zanten that won player of the year that year.

    A bit like Lewis Morgan not winning POTY this year! Fans wanting to be alternative!

    Broadfoot, Adam & Sutton were the key players that season. Van Zanten could easily have been replaced and it would not  have made not difference!
