Derek McInnes promised Kilmarnock's biggest transfer kitty ever as Rugby Park club target top six return - Football ScotlandWe need to recruit well and get people on the wavelength that SR is on and how he wants them to play. We can't have the slump we had when he first join. Not wetting my knickers, but worry for these clubs with bigger budgets and more money thrown at them. The bottom 6 this season had Dons and Hibs who have more cash. Top 6 just had the likes of county who are bank rolled. Going to be a tough season with stronger clubs than Dundee were, so need to roll the sleeves up and dig in right from the start.

Their biggest transfer kitty ever just means they might have a slightly bigger budget than 2 years ago - when they were relegated. Picking up players like Alan Power doesnt exactly scream top 6. They were really poor last season yet have re-signed the likes of Hodson and Waters at full back. I predict another struggle for them.

Wouldn’t be going near Slarti, he’s got a tendency to hide when the game isn’t going his way. Could be a decent keeper, loves blocking. Cowering behind the goalposts could be an issue though… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balmullo Bud Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 Isma is only 30, thought he would be older. Would you have him back Buds or would it ruin the memories? His career has stalled a bit since he left Hearts. Played for a few clubs in the Middle East and Far East but not many games. Still scored goals though.

It would give a boost around the club & likely have a bit of a commercial knock on as well which would offset any wage even if he didn’t come good. If he is however being linked to Livi, he is surely on a similar level to a player that would boost our frontline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we are at it, what’s Andy Dorman up to these days……… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's made plenty of dodgy signings in the forward areas. In fact his only decent forward signing has been Bruce Anderson. Look at duds like Panayioutou, Chukwumeka, Reilly, Nouble. I'm not saying Isma is a bad signing, nothing like it but he's been kicking about Asia for a long time playing 6 and 7 games a season here and there and is now 30. He did well at Tashkent after he left Hearts but since? Not a lot of football or minutes on the park and not a great return in the last 4 years. I'm not saying he won't chip in with the odd goal but sometimes cult heroes are best left as such. Livi are now also his twelfth different club in only 9 years since leaving us. I'm pretty confident he's not what we need. Edited May 31, 2022 by djchapsticks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty confident he's not what we need. Would still have taken him even as a risk. Would have almost certainly linked to a rise in some commercial areas like shirt sales with younger fans. Every striker at our level is a big risk, it’s the one position that comes at a real premium. At least this way, the risk is mitigated slightly. Who knows, Isma could be another Lee Erwin this time. But you know who else could be a Lee Erwin? Lee Erwin 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 Regardless of the debate on whether he's still good enough, he never returned to play when he was at Hearts so I'd like to think he'll get a massive ovation from St. Mirren supporters for what was just an unbelievable spell with us. Absolutely loved watching the big guy when he was in the mood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 Main and Erwin have both made substantially more appearances and scored far more goals over the last 4 years yet not deemed good enough. And both are younger (Isma is 31 in June).Maybe the Japanese 3rd Div is better than I am giving it credit for.Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
