santaponsasaint Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 That is a shame. Sort of player who excites the fans. Really nice guy as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Just get the feeling that Stelios (possibly more his agent?), sees the grass as being greener on the other side of someone else's fence. Looking at his career in general, he's been nomadic to say the least. I have a sneaking suspicion he may get a better weekly pay packet elsewhere, but another move, another club, another country? I cannot see him, with all due respect as he's clearly talented, getting a move that is a noticeable step up from playing at St Mirren. Or a move where anyone would guarantee him a starting berth. We are on the up, a stable club in a stable country where he'll get paid on time and the league is credible and for all its faults, not without merit and decent excitement. Good luck to him wherever he goes. I genuinely believe he should stay here, and if he shines in an improving St Mirren, Jack will play him and he might earn a move in the near future. I'll stick my neck out and say if he moves, it'll be to someone we've never heard of in his homeland, or the Bulgarian league, or somewhere like that. Then he'll move from there in another season or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Aye, nomadic was very much the description I had in mind. There are too few characters in fitba these days, but if its not to be we move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luther G. Presley Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 No doubt we will see his name appear in rumour mill in the future, probably every transfer window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's it!I'd like him to stay with us but if not, he leaves as a cult figure just not quite the hero status our cup winning Portuguese shagger enjoys.Awra best Stelios!

Aye, a better summary of his place in the St Mirren scheme of things. We do however, have a reasonably big drawer for defenders with foreign names who we took a shine to, but they fcuked off.

Edited to add: Rory Loy Harry Davis, Rory Loy, Billy O'Brien, Stelios. Craig Storie obviously has returned to Aberdeen. O'Brien can now be ruled out. Loy still has a year to go at Dens, but we have talked to Dundee about him according to John Nelms. Stelios now looking very unlikely. Davis has to be in the unlikely category too.

Dirty Sanchez Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 If it had been made abundantly clear to me that, no matter how well I played, I was going to be back out of the side the following week, I would need to be devoid of other options before you'd find me signing up for more of the same. Maybe different if you are young guy, or it's Marcelo and Dani Alves who are keeping you out of the side. Stelios is in peak years and it's two 30+ journey men who are keeping him out.

DougJamie Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Stellios is a Maverick , Jacks words- and I would always like that option , however he would never be a regular cause like Mavericks he cant be tamed by rules and structure.. Again- I trust Jacks judgement- therefore for me that's it, tries and gets someone- fails- shame Has someone doesn't 100% want them - Bye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julian Banjos Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 If Stelios doesn't sign? We were linked with the Alloa left back Watters again recently. Jack's on record as saying he's a big admirer. We'd probably be better served getting another right back in though. Can anyone on our books play there apart from Irvine?

magnus Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 4 hours ago, div said: I've been tweeting him a bit, seems fair to assume that he's been offered a deal but that the numbers aren't what him or his agent are looking for. He wants to stay going by his tweets, but it's looking increasingly unlikely that is going to happen unfortunately. For me having a guy who can play left back or right back, and who gets forward from those positions and can score goals is a very worthwhile asset to have in the squad. Shame, but I guess we move on. Hope we go balls out and improve the offer. Stelios is a cracking player and in his own way genuine box office. The entertainment value ramps up when he is on the field. The guy obviously loves it at Saints and that's a biggie for the support. I hope Jack finds the cash somewhere. No harm to the Alloa left back but if we want to fill the stands then we need to get the team that saved the Club back together and Super Stelios is a key ingredient.

Mr Zo Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 I feel it's a bit of a chance missed in not signing Stelios. The guy offers a great deal on either side of defence. I don't really buy into this he is a poor defender talk. We will need cover for both Eckersley and Irvine and I feel stelios fits that bill perfectly. Throw in the fact that he has a great attacking side to his game and linked up really well with Morgan and you have those positions effectively covered by one player.I heard he was offered reduced terms from what he was previously on and the fact Jack didn't play him in the final and in several other of the key games in the closing weeks I can see why stelios is keeping his options open.An opportunity missed should he move on but I live in hope that he signs up for the title winning season.

santo Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 We were on fire. It`s such a shame the season had to end. I have absolute faith in JR but I can`t shrug off this feeling of disappointment. We should be doing everything we can to keep all of the players from last season. I understand Mallan had to go but what about O`Brien? Wasn`t Billy part of the incredible team spirit? Surely he deserved a chance over Samson? (in saying that, I`m not unhappy with Samson). JR`s transfer dealing have been unbelievable so far...but it`s hard to get excited about signing players from Albion Rovers. Not a boo boy! Just maybe on on a come-down from the euphoria of last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
