munoz Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 With Gavin Reilly obviously stalling on signing a new deal, should there be a cut off point and should the club retract the offer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, I don't think it's a bad thing that he's moving on and I think we can do better. Watch him sign for someone like St Johnstone and score a couple dozen next season now. Thanks for the goals, Gav, and I wish you well, but not against us. (Actually, I reckon he might end up signing for United. Just got a feeling.) Edit: absolutely nee chance he's going to Sunderland, btw. Jack clearly didn't fancy him that much last season.

Edit: absolutely nee chance he's going to Sunderland, btw. Jack clearly didn't fancy him that much last season. I wonder if the uncertainty surrounding JR moving on contributed to Reilly's decision. If he reckons he can do better and earn a higher wage, good luck to him, but he is taking a punt given his mixed bag career thus far. We've got a hell of a lot of rebuilding to do, but perhaps it will be for the best if the new manager has as much scope as possible to call the shots on that.

aldo_j Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 The rumour that he’s Motherwell bound has been kicking around for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linwood-bud Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Not too fussed if Gavin moves on, I don’t think he has the physicality or ability to hold on to the ball that we need in the top division.Played a huge part last season and would have been happy enough for him to have been retained as a squad member.

linwood buddie Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 (edited) Gavin Reilly, who was St Mirren's top scorer as they won the Championship title, is keeping his options open despite being offered a new contract by the promoted club. (Scottish Sun, print edition) This was in the BBC Football Gossip , if he has rejected our contract offers then I would just be telling him good luck Gav and thank him for his service. Edit to add , We shouldn't be any players last option , unless the player is exceptional and I think Gav had a good season up until about February and then couldn't get in the starting 11.

Agreed. I honestly think last season was just one of those ‘one offs’ , sincerely doubt he’d repeat it.Grateful however, made a huge contribution & would be happy if he signs on as part of squad as opposed to first choice.

Tend to agree, unless they are looking for a smaller striker for something different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guinness Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Must admit always thought he was a good Championship player but probably not much higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack the lad Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Maybe he's waiting to see who the new manager is? For someone who many didn't fancy last year I thought he did well and would be happy to see him sign on for next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankin_panda Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 He exceeded my expectations, goal tally wise, however, considering his tally included goals against a non league side (4 against lothian thistle) and his poor 2nd half of the season, I am not overly concerned as I feel Mullen contributes in overall play more and will come on strong. I'd be surprised if Reilly reproduced this form again in his career... I could be wrong but just an opinion. Loosing Morgan is a bigger concern IMO.

kevo_smfc Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 If reports are true, I think we move on swiftly. We first and foremost have a new manager to appoint and if you don't see your career at our beloved club, thanks for the memories, the goals and your excellent contribution to or championship winning season.

Stu Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Would have liked Reilly to stay but I don't think it's as big a loss as, say, had Sutton left in 2006 after we got promoted. He scored 22 goals but only three since the turn of the year. After scoring against the Aberdeen game he had five starts without scoring before being left out for the returning Morgan at Palmerston so it's his loss of form and the injury he was carrying which saw him dropped rather than stuff about him deciding to leave. Unless he's fairly sure of getting a deal elsewhere, he's taking a risk hoping for something better considering we'll stop paying him after tomorrow and his partner's just had a baby.

Reilly was supposedly carrying an injury for most of the latter part of the season and He didn't start many games in that period so I think it's unfair to judge him on that. I feel he could be an invaluable member of the squad if he chooses to stay but he has to commit fairly soon or the plug should be pulled on the deal.

Port Saint Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Stated today his reps were still negotiating with club. Says he has just recently became a dad and has to make sure he gets a the right deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud the Baker Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 (edited) Disappointed if he goes - IMO there's been a bit of revisionism as to his value to the team & we'll struggle to replace him with someone as good. Also it'll be another name to scratch off my Championship Winners Mug. Edited May 31, 2018 by Bud the Baker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
