Tanser on way back to St Johnstone apparently. Looking to play every week but Jaden Brown likely to have nailed down the LB spot this season. Calum Waters coming in as cover (signed a short term deal with Alloa so a small fee involved).

🤣🤣🤣

[BigYardsAndBasher]

The Calum Waters thing was funny the first time, and caught a few people out, but by getting trotted out every transfer window it just becomes ridiculous.

That's Phillips signed.

So

2 yr deal and we have the option to have a 3rd year 

👍👍

[stlucifer]

It's a bold move compared to the past. At least we're taking a chance with longer term contracts. I hope it pays off with continued progress on the park and/or ensuring we get a decent return IF he is the subject of interest to others.

Welcome Killian.

Any news on the KVV rumour

Well there's someone on P@B reckons he will be on 5/10 times what Ayunga will be on so no chance I would say if that was the case .

[Doakes]

Don't think KVV would improve our squad personally

Here's my shout following our Euro adventure 

Viktor Jónsson - Player profile 2024 | Transfermarkt

14 goals in 18 games in the Icelandic league, coming towards the peak/end of his career

Lewis Jamieson away to Raith for the season makes space for an incoming player Could it possibly be KVV? 🤔

KVV has only scored a handful of goals since he left Scotland - is now 33yrs of age and was a complete flop when he went to a very good Killie side who created plenty chances ...

This was after he elected not to join us on loan !!!

If KVV is the answer then I dread to think what the question is 🤷🤷🤷 

[faraway saint]

While I can see the concern that people have on KVV I would look at the goal scoring record of someone who's seen as a legend at St Mirren, Stephen Thompson.

Before coming to Saints he was hardly prolific.

Also our current manager has the knack of getting the best out of players so I'd be more than happy if we signed KVV. 

He, KVV, has shown that he CAN be something special, we normally sign guys who have never shown that sort of goal scoring form.

Possible that the space was already filled by Killian Phillips and that Jamieson would have stayed had the deal fallen through.

Robbo says he is still looking to bring players in

[fmckinn]

still need someone to score goals

And a RCB

Not liking the fact that SR singled out Richard Taylor when he mentioned getting players on new contracts. That suggests that , unsurprisingly , there is interest in him this window !

[elvis]

Saints have knocked back an offer for young boy Sutherland from Wolves. £250 Grand plus add ons.

I was told on Saturday the best prospect since John Mcginn.

Not far wrong. He is a class act.

He strolled through the game on Sunday. He looks better and better each week

[John Meiksy]

Daily Record are saying again that Kevin Van Veen is St.Mirren’s top target.

I agree he has real potential

Yet , for some reason he is getting next to zero game time 🤷🤷

With all our recent games he has barely featured

I did say this was a concern during pre season and the situation hasn't improved 

Can hardly see him signing a new contract  , and as the Manager doesn't see him as a key part of the squad it seems inevitable he will be sold for a pittance to avoid leaving on a free 

If press reports are accurate that we are scrambling around for a striker as the window closes maybe an ES sale will facilitate this
