Yeah but that's sort of my point. McCarthy, McGrath (and McLoughlin who we'd tried to buy before them and Hull got in before us) were all young players, 20, 21, 22 years old. 

I'd like more of that ahead of guys in their late 20s and early 30s who have already been over to the UK and struggled a bit.

I see your point but I think the priority is to find a goalscorer - regardless of age - that's within our budget 

Stephen Dobbie was still banging them in despite being further on in his career. Someone like that would do me!

If you can find him.

I think you are confused - I don't know anyone who believes in an omnipotent sky fairy... Once you meet God you will think differently.

 

I really don’t think he’d feel differently after meeting me at all

Oh so you're a  Jehovah's Witness now as well?

I'd invite you round for some tea or coffee but you wouldn't show....and, if you were ever in need of a donation of my O negative blood, you'd rather die.

Yeah, Fraser is a good signing.

It took me 3 full minutes of reading your post before I got that joke.

I was wondering which weird, batshit crazy cult he was following.

Wonder how realistic a striker before the weekend is going to be.

Unrealistic, I'd say. It's not a pressing need and the window is open for ages. I think we'll wait for the right guy. I hope he becomes available.

Something will have a knock on effect when Celtic officially sign Ajeti on loan.

Nah. It will be a couple of weeks yet. It's a pressing concern to have the option for the coming season but not the coming matches.

Looking forward to that.

out of contract since 30th June , would fit your remit

That's an unreal shout

Shame his requested wage would probably be wild

[ALBIONSAINT 1,607]

Maybe, but might have made his money and be lured with prospect of getting started in coaching

Dobbie wouldn’t work.  He’s happily settled Doon Hame.

has said he wouldn’t even move if his beloved The Rangers wanted him.

[antrin 4,787]

Or words to that effect...

He's also now past it. Time definitely caught up to him last season and will do so even more now with a 7 month hiatus.

[antrin 4,787]

Aye.

he had a (relatively) barren season for QoS, sadly.

luckily they had cv19 AND timing stepping in to save their skin!
 

if the Jags had got to play their game in hand...

I don't mean Dobbie specifically, just anyone that scores goals

On twitter I'm reading rumours of a Seifedin Chabbi return.

A good striker elsewhere, but... didn't do it for Saints... not enough chances...?

Interesting. I don’t think we saw enough of him on the pitch to form any kind of opinion.

Perhaps he wasn’t played because of the good partnership Jakubiak had with Obika.

If we are interested it certainly suggests JG rates him and that’s good enough for me.

He was very, very unfit when he arrived, sadly - and was arguably surplus to requirements, as you've said.

However, the boy chucked £500 in for the St Mirren Charitable Foundation earlier in the year. I know that means nothing when considering his footballing ability, but it shows a lot about his character.

Would be welcome back for another shot.

Answer to your question is NO - I am NOT a JW and never have been - they are a heretical modern sect and I am A+ if you are ever stuck...

Not sure why you'd want to invite me to tea but suspect it would be to tell me that God does not exist - so that would be a waste of your time as He definitely does ! PS I have given blood plenty of times...

I see the LIAR has assumed I must be a JW after your post - seems like he neither has the decency to apologise nor stop reading into things and getting the wrong end of the stick ! His walloper status grows each day...

I think Fraser is a decent signing - but is Chabbi coming back? And who will be our 4th 1st team Striker to Sign on...
