Jason Naismith , looks an outstanding prospect . Wouldn,,t be surprised if there was interest.

Newcastle probably have the money , time and coaching to develop Meatball , and would probably make money from the deal . Hopefully the money we make from the deal , will help keep us up this season.

Last season , if we went a goal down , Goody , Gowser or the Hawk , would rally the troops , and encourage some sort of fightback , last night those leadership qualities were non existent .

At the start of every season I hope Cheesy has been coached to do the simple things , and cut out the basic mistakes , and eventually be the defender we would all like him to be . Looks like its the same old Cheesy

Goodwin plays in an area of the park where its the players remit to try and dominate the area , and all sorts of scrapping goes on. But a media campaign has had the focus on the tricks Goody gets up to , but not his opening , who seem to get away with winding him up. Goodie didn,t have to make the first tackle for wjhich he got booked for , but in both instances , the Motherwell players milked the situation . If I were managing Goodie I would first of all go to the media , and suggest that several players in other teams get away with a lot more than him , that he is fouled against more often than he is fouled , and certain players are cheating to get him sent off , and the media seem to turn a blind eyes to this. I would also suggest that Goodie , starts to take a few rolls and do a bit of amatuar dramatics himself ,

Looking like we could have Naismith , Kelly , Cheesy , Tess , Goodie , Plumber and Evans providing cover for the back four and the holding midfield position , quite a bit of versatility there , but a big experienced centre half would put us in a really good place for next season

Still think we might get someone from Newcastle , the Newcastle boys , normally come after a couple of weeks training at their own club

I actually enjoyed watching him in his first couple of seasons , he was also excellent during our promotional season. I wonder how good a player he would have been , if he had been picked up at an earlier age , and been coached , had access to dieticians , and fitness specialists . He had something , that made him awkward to play against , was exceptional in the air , and had a wee bit of skill . Loved watching him partner Basher

love the way the squad is shaping up , are we going for a 2-3 - 5 formation

Lets wait and see , he actually might like the set up in Paisley , and the group of lads he,ll be training with on a daily basis , he will also probably be confident of either starting or being on the bench on a regular basis , and he has the offer on the table , might make sense for him to sign a one year contract and see where it goes.

Seems quite a young squad we are putting together , and there seems to be quite good banter between them on twitter , which might be quite a good thing when trying to attract younger players to the club , who might chose us ahead of other clubs because they will be involved in the first team squad on a daily basis . Quite liking the squad we are putting together , and hopefully when the squad is complete , there will be sufficient cover for all positions , and we will have a few different options if plan A isn,t working. bring on the new season hoping some of this speculation regarding new signings comes to fruition.

heading to Newcastle for a stag party next weekend , is Whitley Bay still good for an afternoons entertainment

Wondering if Ball could play centre half .

I think Tess will prove to be a good signing , and maybe might do well playing as a sweeper and I think he would be very good at bringing the ball out of befence . I also think over the course of the season he might end up playing in about four different positions . With regards to Wylde , I think he will be exceptional this season , not just as a winger , but also as up front just behind Thhommo or in a central attacking midfield role . Whatever happens this season , I think it is our intention to be a good footballing side.

I would like us to sign an experienced centre half , who can take control of things at the back and organise a back four , we may have to search the lower leagues in England for this type of player , would also like an experienced hard working midfielder and a striker , and I think we might just about be able to put a decent team out , probably need another five signings to have a squad that will see us through to the end of the year.

Really liked Gowser a player , thinking his best position is up front in a six a side team . Loved Gowser as a player , but there were times when he took too many touches and the move slowed down . Looking forward to seeing the new faces , but still thinking we need a few more signings

It makes so much sense for Reilly to go on loan and get regular games , maybe a loan to a Championship club , for half a season would be ideal

totally agree Norrie , you missed mair , caprice and cornell from the list , which in my opinion says we need at least 6 new signings to add to the three we have made to date , not too unhappy with the signings made , or with us bringing in players on loan , but I would like to see a few more signings

Releasing Harkins and McGowan , has probably enabled us to offer McLean a better wage and keep him , and bring in James Marwood and Ellis Plummer , only at the end of the season will we be able to decide whether it was good business or not . And to me its more about how well the new signings do for us , than how well Harkins or McGowan do at Dundee

Excellent thread , great way to find out what kind of strip fans would want to buy , quite fancy few here

The way I see things , these guys wouldn,t have signed if they thought St Mirren would struggle this season. They must have confidence in the existing group of players in the squad , and the youngsters coming through , and maybe be aware of the calibre of signings which we are trying to make. Looking forward to seeing the new squad take shape.

Wonder why we don,t try a red and white striped shirt as an away strip . Perhaps with black shorts

Naismith was pretty average at Morton , yet came back to do a good job with us , I suspect he was quite young when he played for Oldham , and playng against some pretty experienced strikers , looking forward to watching him develop into a top centre half

when were we last linked with a player ? Who was the last player the press said we were interested in ? Probably Ryan Stevenson and Liam Craig . So little seems to be happening . Hopefully this week , we may get a signing , or maybe even linked with a player or two

I would love to se a team with Greg Wilde on one wing , amd Nigel on the other wing , with the Hawk and and another striker playing in between them. With the wingers having e option to change wings when it suits them
