  1. I'm 99% sure that's a spammy Twitter account. I don't believe this for a second. It's a weeks-old rumour.
  2. Fair enough. The other issue being that McLean was very much only 'ok' at that level. While you could imagine a bottom-half team moving for him, it wouldn't be for megabucks, so the money really would be negligible. That said, it might still cover a player's wage for a season, so not to be sniffed at.
  3. Shit, I'm disappointed about that. Our recruitment has been broddly excellent over the past couple of years.
  4. Good point: you'd have to assume so, based on that.
  5. He was very, very unfit when he arrived, sadly - and was arguably surplus to requirements, as you've said. However, the boy chucked £500 in for the St Mirren Charitable Foundation earlier in the year. I know that means nothing when considering his footballing ability, but it shows a lot about his character. Would be welcome back for another shot.
  6. Unrealistic, I'd say. It's not a pressing need and the window is open for ages. I think we'll wait for the right guy. I hope he becomes available.
  7. Shame Villa stayed up today. I reckon either McGinn or Grealish will be away this window, and it's more likely to be the latter. The Grealish fee will enable them to hold onto McGinn. Had they gone down, both would have left.
  8. I've got it in my head that they gave him another year, but I don't know why I think that.
  9. This place is a f**king joke. You guys have got real issues. I popped back in for rumours and - believe it or not - some football chat. Not to worry.
  10. I can see why we want a striker, and I can see why Jim's after one, but we definitely only really play one up front. I'm struggling to decide which midfielders we're leaving out when we're picking five of them... becomes very tough when you go down to four. 3-5-2 isn't an option because Durmus is never a wing-back, and also because it's a shite formation. So I'm saying if we started the season with just Morias and Obika, I won't be too upset.
  11. Fuxake guys, come on, slag each other on DM if you must but this is a public forum and absolutely nobody wants to read this shit.
  12. Pure speculation, but you can imagine if their u23 captain comes on loan, does well and then goes back and raves about us/our setup, then they might be more inclined to help out in future.
  13. Be right back, just Googling experienced centre halves called Manilow.
  14. Haven't clicked onto BAWA for a few weeks. Think I'll give it a few more.
  15. Anyone who has tracked the English game for a while knows it's been on a knife-edge for ages. I think we'll have seen the last of the ridiculously inflated TV deals, too. Corona is going to be a huge watershed moment, for football and for society.
  16. I fear my Barry Lavety/e-sports mini joke-ette has been overlooked here.
  17. Bears repeating: if Obika was out of contract this summer, there'd be a queue of Premiership clubs after him. Even with a year to run, that queue might be forming. In fairness, I think most people on here get it now. As is always the case, there's a few idiots on Twitter and, by the sound of it, in the stands, who don't.
  18. I'd be in favour of that across the entire internet, in all honesty. And yes, I realise I'm posting that from behind an alias, but I'm generally respectful on here.
  19. This has been pointed out to him many, many times.
  20. Yep, and at least he's contracted up. 15-goal strikers don't come cheap.
  21. Read that back to yourself. Aye fair enough. I was more thinking of the proportions of the 'sides' in question. But yeah, ok.
