thomsons dropped it Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 McGinn signed on loan for Shrewsbury I believe. Signed initially for a month with a view to making it possibly to the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilPar72 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 There’s still plenty of time left in the transfer window and Danny is hopeful of concluding some business in the next week or so: “I’m actively looking at this minute in time. There’s nothing going out but I’m certainly looking at one, possibly two. We’re looking at Dummett to come back but that’s out of our hands at this minute in time and we’re waiting on Newcastle. We very much want the player back. I’m also looking at another striker, whose name I won’t reveal, so I’m hopeful of knowing within a day or two of knowing whether that’s going to come fruition. It’s not the Polish lad, it’s a different player.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lethal89 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) Cokehead O'Connor, Riordan and Boyd all without a club.... All 3 would be excellent signings goals and skill wise, but the big question mark over all 3 is attitude and application. Boyd and Riordan are numbers 1 & 3 in the all time SPL scoring records IIRC Edited January 19, 2013 by Lethal89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

class of 76-77 Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) According to one of our fans on pie and bovril site, we are about to announce the signing of Steven Doris from Arbroath on a 3 year contract and also confirm the loan deal for the young polish striker. Good news if true and a wee lift before the semi final on sunday. Edited January 20, 2013 by class of 76-77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Zo Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Another decent centre half, a decent left back in the form of Dummett and a decent strike partner for Thompson then a few of our problems would be solved. That's my belated list for Santa. Just think how many more goals we would score with a decent strike partner for thompson. Oh and our players cut out all these stupid mistakes they appear to be making on a weekly basis. Life as a St Mirren fan is so frustrating.

buddie Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Birmingham have dropped their interest in Doris. It appears we're now the only team bring linked with him. Seems he would be an excellent signing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Mc Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Well only 6 months of a part-time contract to go. So won't break the bank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTOF Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 I see Pedro Moutinho is back in Scotland looking for a club. Could he be the Portugese/foreign player mentioned previously, that we're actively pursuing? Hope not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 While I dont want to burst anyone's bubble about Doris remember that Wardlaw had an excellent scoring rate before signing and wasnt good enough for the SPL. Same goes for John Baird going to Dundee. The guy may be good but he is also 24 the same age as Robertson who was player of the year in the Second Division but the jury is still out on his ability for the SPL. Personally I would prefer an 18yo starting out with a great scoring record in the lower leagues or an old pro who we know can score at SPL level (eg Kenny Miller) than someone who has played in the lower leagues for virtually all of their career. If Dorris signs I will support him and maybe he will change my thinking but I certainly dont see him in particular as a great signing.

David Mc Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Can see where you are coming from Sonny. To counter that Wardlaw was very much a one season wonder at Cowden. Baird is just unlucky. A 5 foot 3 player is always going to be up against it at SPL level. Doris at least has scored an average of a goal every second game for 2 and a half seasons. The standard in the SPL has dropped noticeably from my infrequent visits to see us. That may work in his favour too. In conclusion who knows?

In that case he is well ahead of our whole squad the last 2 seasons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

class of 76-77 Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Apparently Aberdeen and the Govan tramps are interested in Doris, that could of course be his agent drumming up more interest. If true then the Dons would be the front runners i guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddie Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Whoever this striker Is that Danny won't name, I think it's hugely important we get him in for Sunday. If we stand anychance of winning, we need someone up there with Thompson who's capable of playing good football. Parkin and Guy are pretty dire and I don't think throwing the young 19 year old Polish boy into a semi final against Celtic is wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovestreet Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Don't think it will matter who partners Thommo up front as were going into this game with the same dumplings in defence, Hooper and Samaras will rip us a new arse!

norrie82 Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 On one hand surely we will raise our game on Sunday I mean Falkirk pushed them hard last year and were a young team with one or two older pros in the team. Should next week be a humiliation which I don't think it will then we must try and get the deadwood out and new blood in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddie Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Getting Dummet back would be a real boost! Think Goodwin has to move back into midfield however, we look vulnerable in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
