liamg_smfc Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Us and 6 other spl teams are interested don't fancy our chances would be a decent signing tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ McG Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 No chance of him signing, hibs bound with butcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie88 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Would be a good signing but I think he would go to every other club linked to him before us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldo_j Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Out of interest, who would he replace in our team? Our (kinda) front 3 at the moment is Thommo, Campbell and McGowan, would he replace one of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Out of interest, who would he replace in our team? Our (kinda) front 3 at the moment is Thommo, Campbell and McGowan, would he replace one of them? Cover for Thommo is all I can think of, and I can't see us breaking the bank in that context. If we are looking to bring in cover for Thommo, I would have thought a Parkin type player would be sufficient (in terms of cost and quality). We need to prioritise defence just now, IMO. Rooney as cover for our main man doesn't fit the current profile of a guy with numerous clubs chasing him. Unless we were looking at a permanent deal with a view to the player being a natural successor to Thompson, then I'm not sure if there is much mileage in this at all.

linwood buddie Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Would be a good addition but we need defenders, give us some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank McGarvey' wonky legs Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Just wait until the second or third week of February and we will pick up Rory Fallon as a free agent/panic buy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was the end of the season and we were looking for an attacker with Thommo a year older and Campbell and Gowser away then I would be keen, just not sure he fits our squad profile at the moment. Need a Centre Half first tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mearns Saint Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 I can't see us taking on a new striker with Bahoken back on the scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garf Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 I don't think Rory Fallon would be a terrible signing, decent cover for Thompson. Rooney's a good player, but I can't see him wanting to sit on the bench for us and I can't see him pushing Thomo out of the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevo_smfc Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 I think a centre half is the only business we will do. Campbell has added a new dimension to our attack and Bahoken hasnt been given enough game time to give anyone a decent judgement on his footballing abilities.

Drew Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) I think a centre half is the only business we will do. Campbell has added a new dimension to our attack and Bahoken hasnt been given enough game time to give anyone a decent judgement on his footballing abilities. If we stick with Campbell playing more in the right sided position with Gowser just off Thommo, we could have a fairly potent threat up front. Assuming Bahoken shakes his knock off soon, he would be cover for Thompson, and we have Wylde available to mix things up if required. I wouldn't be surprised if we signed a centre half and a midfielder before the wondow shuts, though. Certainly a couple more I suspect, with defence being the absolute priority.

Erskinebuddie Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 if he was ever going to come here its not likely be in this window it will be summer because he is out of contract .We may be in with a chance though as Gary Harkins is on loan at Oldham were Rooney plays and we might have established a decent relationship with them, especially if Harkins plays well. They might even do us a swap. I wouldn't worry to much about defenders as the clear out of Barron and Mair makes you think there will be someone on the way.hopefully.

Frank McGarvey' wonky legs Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Why, has St.Johnstone released him Available to other clubs at the moment, possibility of being released before the window shuts if nobody comes in for him.
