I hope Goodwin turns this around but feel we missed a trick not getting McInnes in, time will tell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is for sure But why would you sign for a manager who didn't rate you good enough rather than one that does. Anyway that boat has sailed for me he had his chances to join us and didn't. As for signing new players forget the lower leagues in England IMO where the players are overpriced and overrated, we've had our fingers burnt all to often, Lets concentrate on Ireland and the lower leagues in Scotland. The Raith Rovers team last year showed us the talent is there we just need the talent to spot it and give these lads a chance, it's better if you can sign a player on the way up rather than the way down Remember where we got Lex Richardson Peter Weir and Frank McAvennie 3 of the best players ever to play for this club 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we signed these guys the Juniors was a stepping stone to the pro game but it no longer is. Even the lower leagues up here are not the rich picking grounds they once were. The Academy system has changed how young players are developed - so many get discarded in their late teens and many of them give up the game completely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Academy system has changed how young players are developed - so many get discarded in their late teens and many of them give up the game completely. Indeed. There's a dearth of younger, quality players in the championship. Dundee signed McCowan from Ayr and he's doing O.K. Hibs signed Danny McKay from ICT. He looked a very decent player, but hasn't featured for Hibs since the end of August. IIRC he's got a lot of pace. If he's fit and available on loan, he might address our lack of pace issue. Raith's Regan Hendry was another one who stood out. We were reportedly interested in him, but he went down to England. I noticed that Kilmarnock and the Fakes seem to be competing to sign Zak Rudden from Thistle. I don't really remember him standing out against us earlier in the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no doubt that’s what’s happening unfortunately, just hope Dundee, County etc don’t improve much either. Mcinnes only in at killie a couple of days ago and I expect they will have signings in before us too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainstand Sweary Mob Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 Read this morning that Beerschot are looking to offload Shankland. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/lawrence-shankland-puts-spfl-clubs-25889060Would people think we should take another chance on him? Would he be better or worse than the likes of Main, Dennis or Erwin?Did he play for Utd this season that would mean he couldn't play for any other Scottish club this season apart from them as will have already played for 2 clubs already?

Sonny Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 Shankland was transferred for £1M only six months ago and is on a salary St Mirren players could only dream about. No chance we can sign him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
