Maybe, just think we have other priorities, strikers, full back cover, centre half and left sided midfielder should all come in before another central midfielder. We currently have McGinn, Magennis, Flynn and Willock in there, who are four of our best players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any player with that level of experience is going to demand a higher wage than we're used to. We're in with the "big boys" now, so we'll have to pay accordingly. He'll have been paid well by Hearts, so maybe his demands won't be too exorbitant. We've been crying out for experienced players that have played at a higher level.

A "McGinnless" Saints would be disastrous, without a player to step into his shoes, if he gets injured or is suspended.

Maboza Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 Cowie would be a strange one given the current balance of the squad. I can't imagine we will sign him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's very evident given the uninformed drivel that you posted. Humphrey had an op on his shin not long after he joined PNE from Hearts. Unfortunately it hasn't healed properly, which has impacted on his general fitness and his subsequent less than stellar performances in the past few seasons. Consider yourself informed. As far as I am aware, we haven't knowingly given any players a contract, with that type of fitness problem.

Had a quick look at a Heart's forum and the general consensus, apart from a couple of the usual roasters, is that Cowie is a great influence both on and off the park, works really hard and is fit as a "butcher's dug". A steadying influence in midfield. He might seem a bit of a luxury, but I've already stated my reasons as to why he might be signed. I do agree that a couple of strikers need to be signed very quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree that a couple of strikers need to be signed very quickly. I don't doubt that Cowie would be a decent signing. Played at a good level and if he played 30+ games in midfield last year then he's obviously keeping himself in shape. I'd be surprised however if we signed a guy of that pedigree as a squad filler, so would expect that Willock or Flynn would be pushed down the pecking order if we were to sign Cowie. In other circumstances that would maybe be okay but given that Stubbs is already working under budget constraints then I think it would be a bit odd to sign him.
