Highly rated young CB from Ireland.
Hull and Preston were both in for him this summer.
Most likely means Mihai will not be returning this season if we now have 3 CBs
I think we will bring one more in, maybe a utility type that can play a few defensive positions as we can’t rely on Gary Mac unfortunately -
Pretty sure I just clicked on a notification from st Mirren twitter account saying look at these 4 new signings then it said tweet has been deleted when I went into it.
They were retweeting an SPFL link to their fantasy football account, nothing to do with Saints -
Unfortunately can’t put us anywhere other than bottom until the signings start rolling in......
Celtic
Rangers
Aberdeen
Hibs
Hearts
Motherwell
Killie
Ross County
St Johnstone
Livingston
Hamilton
St Mirren
If we make the right signings there’s no reason we should be around 8-10 -
People can call be a liar, a fabricator or say I move goalposts/ backtrack all they want, they’re free to do so. They can also claim I’m making points that I’m not.
I will always challenge them back, the one thing they all have in common is they can’t back up their claims for any of the above.
You seem to miss the point,it’s not that people can’t back up their claims...it’s that you beat them to submission with your constant whataboutery that people just don’t have the will to keep going

Today the manager had one full back and one centre half. 6 or 7 central midfielders and 2 strikers.
Yes Jim deserves to take some criticism (and I’m sure he will be critical of himself), but FFS the guy needs a hand. No matter what anyone says this was a piss easy group and a chance to build momentum before a really tough start to the season and it’s been blown. We will be potentially putting 5 or 6 new players into the team and expect them to gel against teams like Hibs, Aberdeen and Rangers. This cup is when that should have been happening. -
It’s still irrelevant, ‘thus far’ in itself is irrelevant because his job is recruitment. Would you just a sprinter 60 meters into the 100 meters?
What a strange analogy
So we shouldn’t judge anything part way through? At all?
No manager should ever be sacked until the season is over then?
Also, a sprinter that has a dreadful, slow start, generally doesn’t win the race -
How does that measure Gus contribution? The players we sign before the window will measure it.
Do you know what ‘thus far’ means?

did we no score in the last minute against Edinburgh?
Yes. Earlier post said from open play.... [emoji85][emoji85]
-
260 minutes and counting
Edinburgh City
East Kilbride
Albion rovers
Disgraceful
Edited to add from open play......
-
225 mins and no goals from open play against Edinburgh City, East Kilbride and Albion Rovers
Superb -
As much as I think McKenzie has been one of the better signings in the last 4 or 5 years I was surprised he was given another new deal (unless the new deal took account of his injury problems). While he has played a decent number of games in his first couple of seasons he has been injured every season - partly down to throwing his body in harm's way for the sake of the team, last season I think he only featured in six games or thereabouts.
I think he has started every season injured? Your right though, the big man has done us a good turn but unfortunately can’t be relied upon anymore
League starts since he came in have been 29, 14 and 5 last season -
That is some line up
A centre mid at RB
A centre mid at LB
A RB at Centre Half
Jack Baird
4 central midfielders
2 forwards
A bench consisting of 4 teenagers and a sub goalie
Absolutely shambolic state. -
Glad you got the off your chest

Killie have ripped up their placcy pitch. Maybe they'll risk him in league games?
To put down a another one! Meant to be one of the better artificial surfaces for what that’s worth -
A back 4 with 2 defensive midfielders, 1 right back (prob playing centre half) and one actual centre half
I still think we will win comfortably but the squad is a joke -
Must go down as one of the more bizarre transfers
Supposedly linked to bigger teams, the guy looks like a big athlete but 3 managers wouldn’t play him, including the one that signed him for cash -
Sadly, that is what it is looking like at the moment. I'd be very interested to know what, if any, support they get from St Mirren FC - of which the women's team is a part, not a separate entity. The club should be providing them with kit as the bare minimum, SMiSA should not need to be funding this. Surely that could be part of the kit deal? It certainly used to be for the youth academy (don't know if it is since we left JD Sports).
I see most of the women's games are at Ferguslie - why are they not allowed to play at Ralston? Are they allowed to train there? If not, why not? We have a nice 3G pitch that SMiSA paid for they could surely be allowed on
The women's team seems to be run on as little funding as possible. They have held crowdfunding campaigns just to get basic kit to get them up and running. They held a fundraising evening in a bar in Paisley - surely they could have been allowed to use the ground?
It doesn't look particularly good to the outside world that the women's first team are having to ask for money for kit while the men's youth team is so well funded that the most pressing thing on their list is money for a trip to England.
Great post
I’ve seen a few other clubs seem to be taking more than just a passing interest in their woman’s teams, even more so on the back of the WWC. Whereas they seem to be an afterthought for us. Shame -
our problem is quite obviously MONEY... and not being able to get agents/players to commit on first contact as they feel there is a better deal out there. So we make endless enquiries and are told "is that it? Ok if we dont get a better deal we'll come back to you"
ffs Even Livi can identify and sign players of a decent standard, other than money, are you trying to suggest they are a bigger pull than us?
Sorry LPM but I can’t believe this is true, Sweeper who is clearly ITK, has said we have a massively increased budget this year
Or he did back in June, has been a bit quieter about that recently
-
Hopefully just the woman’s kit gets voted through
Club should be paying for the youth teams to play down south -
This is absolutely embarrassing guys

I'm not arguing on bazl's behalf but I do genuinely think it is too early to criticise the club over recruitment.
Ricky
No one expects the squad to be completely bottomed out by this stage.
We do expect to see a bit of a plan however, that’s why Gus was brought in. I keep saying the season starts on the 3rd of August but it didn’t, it started last Saturday. And we went into that game with a squad of-
2 keepers
3 centre half’s (1 injury prone, 1 so out the picture I would get a game before him - JH)
1 right back
1 winger (Djorkaeff??)
7 central Midfielders (1 out of favour Tansey)
2 strikers
Absolute nonsense

What’s your point? Would you rather we rushed & signed the next bunch of Kings, Kpekawa’s and Heaton’s or took that wee bit longer & signed real, scouted quality. Who’s to say other clubs have recruited better than us, Dundee went all out last season, did they?
You’re the one saying players aren’t available the day our season ended, I’m just showing you your comment was daft.
Why would we need to rush out though? No one expected 5/6 signings the day after the DU game, we did expect a plan. We are employing a guy to oversee recruitment,surely having the squad pretty much complete for preseason isn’t too much to ask?
Are you suggesting we wait til nearer the end of the window in the hope better players become available? What if they don’t?
The year we won the league under Jack we signed 2 players after the season started on the 5th August, Duffy and Liam Smith. Oh to be that well organised again
