Sonny Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Think one of the other strikers he's definitely after is Kane at St Johnstone, but can't see that happening at all. He played in their European game last week as their squad was very depleted. Radio Scotland mentioned that St Johnstone were considering moving him out on loan again.

Svard svard Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Heard a rumour that we're interested in Lawrence Shankland from Aberdeen. 19 year old striker. Likely to be a loan. No idea if there's anything to it. That's my work mates nephew I will try and find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosferatu Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Why don't we promote a striker from our own youth academy? If the likes of Queens Park and St. Johnstone can find strikers then surely we can as well? We surely have a decent striker in the academy?

nosferatu Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) David Longwell is rubbish You said it Drew. Going back to the Gus Mapherson years, we keep getting told that Gus never gave the youngsters a chance (which wasn't true at all). He got slated for signing the likes of Hamilton & Wyness instead of playing youngsters. So where are these strikers from the youth academy? Why haven't we found even just one half decent striker in the past decade? Edited July 13, 2015 by nosferatu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
class of 76-77 Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Shaun Rooney the 18 year old right back / centre half from Queens Park starts a weeks trial tomorrow. There is definite interest from other championship clubs as the lad is a really good player. From a personal point of view I hope he shows up well and gets a gig. If we don't sign him then he'll end up with a rival championship team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mart-C87 Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 The strange thing about the Mcpherson era is there was some good boys with bags of potential getting turned away and not getting offered contracts, local boys at that, young players often find it hard to deal with that and may never go on to fulfil what they could have if given that chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If have thought this was one of those deals we'd want sorted quickly rather than running the lottery of someone else swooping in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see the logic in that statement for a player who the manager has never seen before, eg the big Dane. But I would have thought that Murray would have see Rooney in action on a few occasions and will have spoken to numerous folk who will have seen him action. He'll know all about him. Like others have said, I suspect its St. Mirren who are on trial here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintnextlifetime Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Aye, was just going to say it's not as if we've missed out on much. Hardly a stellar career: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Sutherland Also have a feeling we may have made the decision on him. Yes I remember seeing Craig playing at Ayr for us , he nearly scored but didn't. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
