Hodson for sure. He belongs to someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe our chances are slim however he would be a great addition if we got him. And I doubt we would get Ralston however he was injured against Airdrie and will miss playing us at least.

djchapsticks Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) Never mind Tony Ralston. We should brass neck it and ask for Johnny Hayes....genuinely versatile on either wing and so far out of the picture at Celtic that he must be looking to get some sort of move to play football.

How is his fitness though - he did have a big injury ? Though understand your thinking with them having signed a number of competitors in his position. The fit Hayes we used to see would be an asset to us of course . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite the opposite of him being miles out the picture as I first thought, he's featured in 4 of their last 7 games and been on the bench every game since September. Surely now though he's going to be forced down the pecking order given they've signed Weah and Burke and are trying to get this Ukranian guy Edited January 22, 2019 by djchapsticks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think asking for Hayes would be brass necking it. Said previously, if Morgan isn’t/won’t come then we should ask for Hayes. I don’t see him getting any game time at Parkhead, and he’d be a cert to start for us. At least ask the question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MenstrieSaint Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Is it just us linked with Paul Smyth? And are we still interested? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy Saintss Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 The way I see it, because St Mirren won’t be in the “elite” league, our young guys will be playing poorer quality opposition. Over time the poorer quality will not do much to aid the development of our players than if they had the opportunity to take on some of the better sides.So the better players will benefit from playing better quality opposition then?

That’s at least 12 positions you’ve named there and we need to play a goalie as well.It’s a good idea and would certainly give us an advantage. Just need to hope the opposition don’t notice!
