Speculation Thread

[buddies1877]

He said in his post match interview he could easily have 5 or 6 players in already but doesn’t want that he’s going for players that will be improvements on the squad and will no doubt be on the very edge of our budget for a player.

It’s frustrating and far from ideal but guess we just need to be patient.

Don’t know who calls them self st Mirren fans and enjoys starting rumours that he’s going to walk because he’s not getting backed I’m pretty sure jim will have the same backing as every other manager and shouldn’t get a penny more than the club can afford.

If the Ross county chairman wants to splash some of his own cash out bidding us for a player then that’s just hard luck for us.

I repeat. Gus walks? 

Gus is in what should be a cushy number. A position where no focus should be on you and if you do job quietly in background, you're set for life and yet here it appears from the outside looking in that neither he, nor TF are doing an effective job in the most important part of their role, recruitment.

Hope you are right. 

I'd hang my hat on it. He won't walk 4 weeks into a 3 year contract in his first full time role. 

He's likely frustrated, I can imagine but this is still very, very early days.

Erwin was another 1 of our targets, another slips through the net

Erwin was also targeted by the fakes Dundee Dundee Utd Hamilton and Livingston. He signed for the club who payed him the biggest wage. Uncle Roy’s big wallet far exceeds more than just what we can afford.

A tad harsh methinks, let's be honest Gus may well have had three or four 'targets' lined up............. ....not to say Goody thought they were an improvement............... remember Gus usually went for players who could 'do a job'  Goody is looking for slightly better.  This could mean not ALL 'targets' were suitable and given we are running behind (as per usual) it's easy to suddenly be .............desperate to sign anyone.    which is just what JG (in my opinion) won't do, which means ........ we are where we are, not ideal NO but my feeling is tighten up your pampers and gie the man a break.  COYS,

So if IOBS is right in what he's reading we are about to be looking for another manager Goodie walking because he's not being backed. 

Let me just stop you there, you see.....

Now there is an interesting thought.

We don't need a goalkeeper (currently) and Lee Erwin seems like he's hardly kicked a ball in 12 months. Of course you'll know better than anyone at either club that the due diligence Ross County are doing is more in-depth than what St Mirren are doing... 

Wait.....does Baz think.....does he think the reason we don't have enough players to even fill the subs bench is because we are carrying out an exhaustive due diligence process? 🤣

Well praise the lord for Gordon Scott's good corporate governance!

Are you familiar with the many uses of the word "interesting"? If so then reread what I wrote.

I was glad to hear this. We will get the players eventually, however it will be nearer the end of the window when these players realise that their not as popular as their agents were telling them. That’s when St Mirren step in.

So you don’t think we are? So after OK & GLS both explaining in detail the structure behind Gus role to do that & after that’s exactly what happened in January, now we’ve just stopped doing it and the ‘list as long as my arm’ comments have just been lies? 

[elvis]

I just don't get this moaning about Gus none of you know what's going on behind the scenes. 

[Isle Of Bute Saint]

We are linked with striker Pavol Safranko. Daily Record. 

[Wendy Saintss]

Seriously - our subs tonight - a McGinn and MacK injured already...
At what point does Goodie get the blame for the shambles behind the scenes?

It’s started!


We’ve not even played a league game yet and@sweeper07 is already turning on Goodwin!

I suspect that you might not be the biggest fan of Gus. 

[turrabuddie]

Always liked him. And never liked seeing him in the lineup against us, which for me means I'd rather he was playing for us rather than against us.
Would be a good signing.

Yeah Oran speaks highly of the backing he got last month lol

Surely he's walked by now?

[Lord Pityme]

These 5 or 6 Goody could have signed... guessing that's the dogs dinner of a shit list Gus drew up? Lol

What planet are you on Baz?

The season is well underway and we can't even fill our subs bench. We are a top league professional football club with about 12 senior players. In what world is this acceptable?
