Never thought about him , but he was a Robinson signing for 'Well and he also gave him the captaincy, plus I don't think JG really fancies him !

I have to say , know the name but not one who’s made me think “ wish he was with us “ . 
 

Would JG be looking at some sort of swap perhaps ?   We get Gallagher , Dons get more of our cast off toilets 🤔

Big, strong, hard tackling centre back as I recall. I also thought he was a decent player. Played for Scotland. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/declan-gallagher-wanted-st-mirren-27324417.amp

Very surprised we are even in the running for him !  Hope it’s true, did he not have a bit of a colourful past?

Not someone I’d like to see at our club. I’d rather promote from youth academy.

Sentenced to three years for assaulting someone when he was 21/22. He served 9 months I believe.

Aye but if we do them a favour and take him off their hands then we can add a bit extra on the asking price for Dunne. 😉

Can see it being a straight swop with Aberdeen continuing to pay most of his wages .

Aberdeen will give him a pay off to get him off the wage bill, they certainly won’t carry on paying his wages.

Aberdeen are so money now they're even paying our transfer fees for us. Goodwin is some guy.

Maybe even take brophy in a swap deal so he can take wages off Aberdeen whilst injured. Don't think brophy is a SR type of player.

It’s nothing new in fitba.

Souness helped Rangers shift all sorts of broken fitba players from that club, before it died.  Mind ye, Souness was being paid via an EBT, iirc….

“I was doing work for Rangers,” Souness explained. “I’m not being blasé, how much was it? And what was the largest one that someone received? That’s a lot of money isn’t it?

“Well I was in between jobs and I was going to scout players for Glasgow Rangers at that time, on the continent. Does that answer it?”

If Souness was working for Rangers at the time income tax of £12,000 would have been paid to Her Majesty from the £30,000 EBT paid. In answer to Souness’ question his former friend Dave Murray got the highest EBT payment, a total of £6m.

During his time at Blackburn Souness signed Barry Ferguson and Tugay from the club chaired by old his old friend from Edinburgh David Murray.

As manager of Newcastle Souness negotiated an £8m fee for Jean Alain Boumsong six months after he had been signed on a Bosman deal from Auxerre.

Boumsong received an EBT payment of £630,000 for 18 games with the Ibrox club according to documents seen by BBC Scotland.

Gies piece. 👎

Not sure about Gallagher to be honest. He went through a great run of form and was brilliant in his first season with Well but his form dipped badly in the period leading up to Robinson leaving them.
Up at Aberdeen, Gallagher and Bates together were like Laurel and Hardy at the back. He’s got a bit of baggage too.

Robinson knows him better than any of us though and we need another CB, but wary of who might head away from Paisley up to Aberdeen from us.

Would take Gogic before Gallagher.

I think if Gogic was going to sign for us, he'd have done it by now. 

Hope im wrong. 

[Cumbriansaint72]

It does appear that SR isn't going to wait about for Gogic. If he can get Gallagher AND Gogic then fantastic really. But good to see us being proactive really.

Is Greive not still on holiday as he had international shizzle on later. Would this be the same for Gogic anyway? Taking a bit of time out from Cyprus duty?

Edited to add I hope this is the case as I would love for him to sign perm with us and get someone like Gallagher

Didn't think of that one. Fingers crossed he sees the intent that SR has on building the team and signs

I follow both Greive and Gogic on Instagram and both seem to be away on holiday mode, that's what I have read into it. I live in hope he decides he will be an instant starter for us. Another team in Scotland, probably not as much. You would hope he wouldn't go to Killie either and him and Power together didn't work.

Possibly another ex motherwell player mentioned previously in the thread which would be preferable.
