So mentioning Dundee United and their budget was irrelevant. So mentioning their prize money from the top league helping their budget was irrelevant So the fact that the training ground was sold to a shareholder director boosted their cash flow and available budget is irrelevant So,......... What was your point caller? The prize money they will get this year is lower. Ours will rise sharply Their gates are/will belower Minimum Potential prize money in the topleague is around 2 x the amount Saints get for Winning the league. Therefore.......

Is the young boy MacPherson likely to feature much next season? Six month deal seems a bit odd if he's not going to play and gets punted out on loan.

Maybe it is a policy with young players making the step-up? Managing risk, perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they've given Cammy some sort of targets that he needs to reach to earn a longer deal. Dunno. Strange! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly played in midfield but more recently has had a few outings at right back. Only 6 months however is a bit odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum Gilhooley Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 I would imagine the Jan thing will be much as Div said , goals set for the young lad to achieve would perhaps trigger a longer deal . A full pre season with the first team and some early league cup action will help the management team assess the lads potential . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As he didn't the club now have the choice on whether to keep him or not. That's how it was explained to me anyway and I think Davis said something similar on "Buddievision" and also that he hoped it would happen as his family are happy here (that was certainly my daughters take on the interview). Maybe the club are using his second season as a bargaining chip and re-negotiating to get him to effectively have a third season here ie a two year deal from now. Indeed. The ball is in our court. We either choose to keep him or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some lads need a push to get the best out of them think you are correct on targets to be reached Jack Ross clearly uses the word targets on interviews.

Also I’d ask Ross Stewart (st) and Josh Todd back for pre season. Todd has the ability and got unfortunate with his injuries, and a 6’7 mobile striker is a great option for the tough away games at Parkhead, Ibrox, Pitodrie etc. I will be surprised if Ross Stewart (outfield) is part of our set up at the start of next season. He has reached his level at Alloa. IMO he has no future in the top tier. Ditto Josh Todd - skillful, good attitude, but , QoS/Raith Rovers is his level. Same for Kilpatrick (again IMO).

Attended the Allioa v Raith game. Stewart led the line well and took his goal. Kirkpatrick played in a more forward position in the first half than the second wherè was morewithdrwan. on the day Ross Stewart looked good but could be physically stronger.

Sorry Ricky but these guys have categorically failed to meet the required standards in the stripes last season in the Championship. That's why they were shipped out to the oblivion leagues. Observing / judging them in their displays against third tier opposition is irrelevant. If they don't look the part in the Championship why would you believe that they have anything to offer St Mirren in the Premiership ? All deadwood must be ditched before we start preparing for 2018/19. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stlucifer Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 I thought young O'Keefe looked ok the couple of times I saw him but I suppose 17 out means almost a brand new team for the start of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart will remain. The management team like him and , personally, think he’s got huge potential. I could be wrong, but hasn’t the lad only got two years of pro football under his belt?

I'm next to certain he'll be with us next season and beyond , there's definitely a player there. He may even go out on loan again and train with us full time , he still needs to bulk up , but I can see him as a future first-teamer |!

I wouldn't be surprised if the club treated him much in the same way that the fakes treated Stevie May when there was questions about whether he would be good enough. Keep him on and find a Championship club for him on loan next season to see if he has adapted to the physical side of full time training and can do a job. Someone like Ayr or QoTS would be a good bet I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted May 11, 2018 Report Share Posted May 11, 2018 Davis leaving because he's going back down south. Hope he doesn't do a Junior and end up with Dunfermline. https://www.stmirren.com/news/club/all-news/1871-contract-update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
