Isle Of Bute Saint Posted June 25, 2013 Report Posted June 25, 2013 Going what has been in the PDE over the past while it seems whoever we are signing has agreed. As has been said the fact they don't start getting paid until July might be the reason. One thing is for sure new players will be in for the trip to Spain so we should hear something very soon. Quote
waldorf34 Posted June 25, 2013 Report Posted June 25, 2013 I dont think its that, more so that everyone else seems to be very early off the mark. but we have a game in 2 weeks time ,we need players to bed in ,get fit now! Quote
buddie Posted June 25, 2013 Report Posted June 25, 2013 Brian Caldwell is on holiday next week so we will not be signiong anybody till he returnsAccording to the PDE our 2 new keepers will be announced on Monday ... Quote
marrez Posted June 25, 2013 Report Posted June 25, 2013 but we have a game in 2 weeks time ,we need players to bed in ,get fit now! Not an important game though. Quote
rabuddies Posted June 25, 2013 Report Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) Brian Caldwell is on holiday next week so we will not be signiong anybody till he returns According to the PDE our 2 new keepers will be announced on Monday ... I think it unlikely that because the General Manager is lying on a beach somewhere, the whole club grinds to a standstill until he gets back. If DL says Monday, then Monday it is!!!!

buddie Posted June 25, 2013 Report Posted June 25, 2013 Seems one of the goalies will be David Cornell http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11781/8791877/Transfer-news-St-Mirren-are-eyeing-a-move-for-Swansea-keeper-David-Cornell Quote
marrez Posted June 25, 2013 Report Posted June 25, 2013 http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11781/8791877/Transfer-news-St-Mirren-are-eyeing-a-move-for-Swansea-keeper-David-Cornell Sky Sports understands Swansea City goalkeeper David Cornell is in line for a loan move to St Mirren. Cornell, who has come through the ranks at Swansea, is highly regarded within the corridors of power at the Liberty Stadium. The 22-year-old is well down the pecking order at Swansea with Michel Vorm and Gerhard Tremmel ahead of him in Michael Laudrup's plans. Laudrup is keen to loan out Cornell so that he can get some valuable first-team action under his belt to continue his development St Mirren are leading the race for the Wales Under 21 international with Buddies boss Danny Lennon keen to bolster his goalkeeping options.

Gosport Buddie Posted June 25, 2013 Report Posted June 25, 2013 anyone panicking yet, we have only signed one player, no goalkeepers , are we the only club still to fill our minimum quota? According to SKY We're after Cornell from Swansea http://t.co/C3EQSKMHax Quote
Drew Posted June 25, 2013 Report Posted June 25, 2013 (edited) Can I be the first to report that Sky have us down as chasing Cornell from Swansea? No? Edited June 25, 2013 by Drew Quote
windae cleaner Posted June 25, 2013 Report Posted June 25, 2013 There's 2 keepers meant to be signed but red tape has held it up. Langfield isn't one of them or the Dundee one Ahem Quote
Gosport Buddie Posted June 25, 2013 Report Posted June 25, 2013 Can I be the first to report that Sky have us down as chasing Cornell from Swansea? No? Sorry Drew Quote
exiledfan Posted June 25, 2013 Report Posted June 25, 2013 I would guess that if we sign Cornell part of the deal from Swansea would be that he plays regularly as No 1 or there is no point loaning him out. Quote
nedflanders123 Posted June 25, 2013 Report Posted June 25, 2013 Killie, Motherwell, Ross County, ICT, Hibs, Dundee United etc etc have all announced more signings from us. For whatever reason, we seem to be very slow off the mark this summer. It is simple. Not signing players at this time means we do not have to pay out more in wages for players to laze around during the summer months. Secondly, there will be a lot of players looking for clubs between now and when we begin the friendlies and we will have our full quota sorted out by then. No point in rushing at this time to only find out that someone better is available for the same terms of contract. Patience if a virtue so they say and I am confident that Danny and Tommy have their irons well in the fire. As for those other clubs, outwith Celtic, none of them are earth shattering and/or worrying. Quote
marrez Posted June 25, 2013 Report Posted June 25, 2013 I would guess that if we sign Cornell part of the deal from Swansea would be that he plays regularly as No 1 or there is no point loaning him out. I dont think we would ever agree to that kind of deal, I cant see anyone doing that. If they are confident in him they would expect him to be no.1 but how could you make a deal that he had to play? That would be off no benefit to a keeper, they want to be no.1 on merit not by default. Quote
Griff Posted June 25, 2013 Report Posted June 25, 2013 Happy with Cornell as a goalkeeping option ,based on how well Randolph and Ruddy done at Motherwell Quote
lovestreet Posted June 25, 2013 Report Posted June 25, 2013 How about Neil Alexander? He's out of contract at Zombie Rangers - obviously we couldnt pay what they were paying but maybe he has earned his dosh with them and wants to play in the top league again. Our keeper is sorted Quote
lovestreet Posted June 25, 2013 Report Posted June 25, 2013 Keep climbing down. What is it, is your 'mole' ripping the pish out of you, or are you a boring and tedious troll? When are you going to withdraw your allegation about our manager tapping up an opponents player? You are deluded Quote
Murray7 Posted June 25, 2013 Report Posted June 25, 2013 Hereford fans' thoughts on Cornell; http://unofficialbulls.proboards.com/thread/28029 Quote
JJ McG Posted June 25, 2013 Report Posted June 25, 2013 Hereford fans' thoughts on Cornell; http://unofficialbulls.proboards.com/thread/28029 Sounds promising! Quote
Griff Posted June 25, 2013 Report Posted June 25, 2013 I,m quite confident we will have a decent squad for the start of next season ,I don,t think Gary Harkins would have signed for us ahead of Motherwell , if he hadn,t had assurances that there were other decent signings coming. Quote
Murray7 Posted June 25, 2013 Report Posted June 25, 2013 Stephen McGinn has signed for Davie Weir's Sheffield United. Shame, his Mum wanted him home Quote
RickMcD Posted June 25, 2013 Report Posted June 25, 2013 It doesn't seem to matter whose name gets associated with St.Mirren, within minutes if not seconds the 'He's shite!' brigade are on here moaning. I've not been here all that long and I just wonder has anyone ever enjoyed universal approval? How about Steven Thompson? Did any of the usual suspects weigh into him? I can't imagine that even he got away scot-free. Quote

I've not been here all that long and I just wonder has anyone ever enjoyed universal approval? How about Steven Thompson? Did any of the usual suspects weigh into him? I can't imagine that even he got away scot-free. It always seems to me that our fans expect miracle signings. When a new name is mentioned they are usually either deemed to be crap, or beyond our budget, by the hard to please. I'd say it is obvious that if people openly recognise our budget is small, then our expectations regarding who we can sign should reflect that. Me? I'd take anybody that can do a job for us - whether that be a M*rt*n player (Tidser), a rat faced bastard (Novo), an injury prone has-been (Gordon), a ned (Griffiths) or anybody else who fits the bill. For me, the jury is still out on DL, but I'd love this to be the season he takes us into the top 6 and proves a lot of us wrong. If he's going to do that, he is going to have to think carefully about who he brings in. I for one hope (and actually believe) that he will do that this season. Quote
buddiecat Posted June 25, 2013 Report Posted June 25, 2013 I'd read somewhere that Motherwell were looking at Sutton. Probably to replace Higdon when he returns to Paisley. more than likely so Quote
