leolovesstmfc Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 I know Billy said he wants to come back and the twitter mesaage saying A wee trip back to Scotland to my second home along with a picture of a plane ticket! But is there any merit or substance behind this rumour? As for Sutton if we could get him on loan then great! Only concern would be his wage! Would The Fakes pay some of it? Why would they not just wait till January and punt him? If there's a chance I would take both back but would not break the bank for either!

Drew Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 Seriuosly? They are exactly what we need just now. Billy loves this club and always gave 100%. Sutton scores goals. What is not to like?[/ We Need to look forward rather than back toward a 31 year old nomad striker. Does anybody know what sort of form/ level of fitness he has? , too many on here just thinking about better days , fair enough I suppose but I think if we strengthen that position we should look for fresh blood. What fresh blood, though? We need players who drag us out of this situation. Guys with pedigree who give a shit will do for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billymehmet1 Posted December 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 A well Known saints fan is pally with mehmet and he's confirmed he's coming in on Monday. But not def signing The thing about mehmet is that he doesn't need to Play up front I'm sure he can play attacking mid aswell or out wide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kemp Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Not entirely sure Mehmet is what we need right now, although I was going to accuse him of not scoring much....checked my facts and he hit 56 goals, not too bad for the time he was here. Sutton could certainly score in this league, although he started for St Johnstone yesterday so why would they be shipping him out to us? My other doubt is Rae has said he has budget for two players, unless Shankland is on the way out I doubt he would bring two strikers in.

billymehmet1 Posted December 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Surely thomo would do the decent thing he's offering nothing at he moment even when he's supposed to be warming up he puts in zero effort get him out with Conlon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
div Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 There is definitely a chance that Billy might return, but the Sutton rumour appears to have little foundation going by the sound bites coming out of the Perth club anyway.

The player he reminds me of is Jimmy Bone who was 29 when he came to Love Street and had been with 5 clubs in the preceding 10 years. Like Mehmet he was not an out and out striker and was one of the best players at holding the ball up for the rest of the attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although he said the older guys are still valuable he thinks that if he brings In two or so players they will be seasoned 20 somethings. He also said there was a budget for players and that maybe a couple would go out on loan to free up wages. I doesn't sound to me like BM fits his idea of who to spend precious funds on , still you never know !

ulysses Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) I'd imagine that he won't sign straight away but will probably come in on trial. Rae will want to get a look at him first. Edited December 20, 2015 by ulysses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabuddies Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Nobody has seen the guy play since 2010 and for the last 3 season he's played in Thailand, India and for 2 Malaysian teams. Now admittedly he scored a barrowload of goals in Malaysia but then he is 6'2" and the average height of Malay is 5'4". Give him a trial at Ralston if you must but what is the rush to sign an unknown quantity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
