Which we know never happens in January. So its likely to be around half of what you say most expect. I would be gobsmacked if we only signed three players this window.. Quote

Said we had a squad of 28 but he wanted to get that down to 20 or 21 (not including youths) but also bring 4 or 5 in. This was before we knew we'd be losing Hammill and possibly (probably) Ferdinand and before Samson retired. Had we kept Sammy, Hammill and Anton, I'd probably agree with your assessment of 3 or 4 but the fact is that we've lost or are losing 3 first choice players on top of who he already wants rid of. These guys will need replaced on top of what was originally planned to come in. Edited January 4, 2019 by djchapsticks Quote
gstretchuk Posted January 4, 2019 Report Posted January 4, 2019 Why is Ryan Edwards still at our club, if OK can't see that he is dreadful then thats worrying.. Quote
Wendy Saintss Posted January 4, 2019 Report Posted January 4, 2019 His goals did help us stay in the mix , but he's not the type of player we're going to need in the run-in. We need players playing for the cause and the jersey , let's hope we have some lined up !Indeed. We certainly don’t need guys who score and create goals! [emoji23] Quote

To get to down to 20-21 that would be three or four in. I guess you think he means 4-5 pn top of 21, which wouldnt be much of a drop in squad size from 28. only commenting on the way i read his, and the board's big hints of much smaller squad. Quote

Doakes Posted January 4, 2019 Report Posted January 4, 2019 A left back An attacking mid A striker Anyone else is a bonus Quote

div Posted January 4, 2019 Report Posted January 4, 2019 33 minutes ago, gstretchuk said: Why is Ryan Edwards still at our club, if OK can't see that he is dreadful then thats worrying.. The problem with Ryan Edwards is that as he's already played for Hearts u-20s in the Challenge Cup, and is not on a "development loan" he is deemed to have played for two clubs. So, unless Hearts see him playing in their first team, they may not be particularly keen to take him back, as we're paying his wages (or at least a % of them) and he's currently under a season long loan agreement. He wouldn't be allowed to sign and play for a third club this season. I don't necessarily think he'd be a bad guy to have on the bench but I don't see him being a regular started if we get our recruitment right this month. Quote

Magic Monkey Posted January 4, 2019 Report Posted January 4, 2019 Rumours of a signing incoming, and that it might be Logan Bailly. I just find it so hard to get excited about signing a goalie. It's like getting new tyres for your car. You know they're essential but they're so f**king dull. Mind, if you google him, the second and third results describe him as a flop, a dud and a love rat, so there's always that Quote

This window will show us all, if Saints actually have the ability to move up to the promised land we have been hoping for since the 80s. Are we a Thistle , a Pars a Falkirk, or are we an Accies, Fakes or Well. The main diffrence I see is guidence from the top. Whilst Gilmour delivered us to a 8000 all seater stadia and Ralston and no debt, he also clearly wanted out, the GLS comes in, passionate but hardly a sugar daddy, and the fact our managers have changed more often than the weather has meant we cant get any consistency.# So happy to support Oran but my god he needs support for those around him, and not just Fitzy saying he is the new Fergie Edited January 4, 2019 by DougJamie Quote

Magennis back would be as good as a new signing but don't think we can rely on that. If we signed a left back I think Erhahon could fit into that role.... Like you say, anyone we lose needs to be replaced, or we need to have someone who can cover that position Quote
Isle Of Bute Saint Posted January 4, 2019 Report Posted January 4, 2019 From a Saints unreliable source Hammill away to Scornthope. Bloody hell sorry state when we can not compete with them. No disrespect. Quote
