Callum Gilhooley Posted July 24, 2012 Report Posted July 24, 2012 Watched his half time training stint with Mathers, dropped or fumbled about half a dozen crosses under no pressure. Didn`t inspire confidence. Quote
Murray7 Posted July 24, 2012 Report Posted July 24, 2012 Watched his half time training stint with Mathers, dropped or fumbled about half a dozen crosses under no pressure. Didn`t inspire confidence. He was also skelping penalties into an open goal, many of them flying into the stand! Quote
St. Sid Posted July 24, 2012 Report Posted July 24, 2012 Why have we paid for this jokers holiday in Spain without finding out how much money he was after. Quote

Drew Posted July 24, 2012 Report Posted July 24, 2012 He looked decent enough tonight. Wasn't really tested a great deal, but made a coupleo f good stops, and his distribution was pretty good overall. I also noticed that he attempted to communicate vocally with the other players (though I'm not sure how many listened to him, TBH). All that said, if he is playing silly buggers over terms....chase him. Quote

Sergie's no1 fan Posted July 24, 2012 Report Posted July 24, 2012 Made 4 or 5 cracking saves tonight. Flapped at a few crosses but on footballing ability alone and if the deal was right I wouldn't complain if he was our no2 keeper.... Quote
Dibbles old paperboy Posted July 24, 2012 Report Posted July 24, 2012 Adam should take the gamble - it paid of for Sammy - he came knowing he would be backup, he was in the team a lot the first year and as a result was rightly installed as no.1 last year and made it his own with one of the best keepers we have had in the past 30 years. Unless you are a first team regular from another SPL club how could you expect to come in on big bucks? Adam was probably on something like £150k (including bonuses) last year with Rangers U19s. I expect that, quite rightly, we are offering him a lot less this year to be our No.2. Quote

FTOF Posted July 25, 2012 Report Posted July 25, 2012 Yes , a couple of good saves, but also a couple of pathetic flaps at crosses . Still not convinced I agree. I know they're a rarity, but I much prefer a 'keeper who is able to deal with cross balls with confidence.I reckon Adam is too wee and I dread the thought of us being 1-0 up and the opposition punting long balls into the box with him in goals.

Dibbles old paperboy Posted July 25, 2012 Report Posted July 25, 2012 Bonuses for doing what ? some Rangers U19 players are on £2k a week plus a £35k bonus if they have been with them since U14s plus another bonus car worth up to £12k... just short of £150k a year. Quote

LoveStreetLover Posted July 26, 2012 Report Posted July 26, 2012 Made some cracking saves, although some of the Dumbarton shots were straight at him. He may have been a bit hesitant in the box after he took that kick to the face that rocked him a bit. But still, I was fairly impressed with his effort, positioning and ability. Would be good to see him get some time against Carlisle to see what he is like against better opposition, but I reckon he is good enough to grab the no.2 jersey at the moment... but i'd rather a spare goalkeeper thats worthy of challenging for the first team jersey!

If they had many on that kind of money then they were even worse headbins than we all thought. I'm afraid I always take those kind of figures with a pinch of salt. If you recall, one of their so-called whiz kids got done for speeding or some such. I can't remember exactly when but certainly within the last year. He couldn't afford the fine and apparently evidence was produced that he was earning about £700 per week. Not bad for an eighteen year old but miles away from £150k. Of course he may have had a second sneaky wee contract. Quote
gazmc83 Posted July 26, 2012 Report Posted July 26, 2012 no longer a rumour he has now signed a 2 year deal , hes just confirmed it on his twitter account Grant adam@Grantadam31 Delighted to sign 2years with st mirren looking forward to this . welcome aboard grant ! Quote
FTOF Posted July 26, 2012 Report Posted July 26, 2012 (edited) Not wholly convinced about the merits of this signing,especially on a 2 year deal. Hopefully,he'll develop more presence when dealing with cross balls. Still, another position filled. Edited July 26, 2012 by FTOF Quote
saint_1706 Posted July 26, 2012 Report Posted July 26, 2012 family club my arse! a thug found guilty of chanting "f*** the pope and the IRA". a disgusting signing, shame on SMFC. Quote

Don't you keep up with the Sevco situation? Quote
