All I heard was him talking about "a couple of exciting signings" or something like that. He is quoted by the BBC as having said it here; https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44828042 He said on the St Mirren TV interview we would have a couple of good players coming in this week, who obviously haven't arrived. I assume therefore he was thinking of the boy from Celtic only for Rodgers to change his mind, and possibly even Stokes who has thankfully moved to Iran. I'd imagine its back to the drawing board now. As pointed out above we have had a few "big names" come in over the years only for them to be complete duds. The important thing is getting quality players in the door, but we really could do with things moving along now. There are only a couple warm up games left before we face Dundee.

The last part is on my mind. Not long 'till the season starts and would have been good to have a full squad. However, I guess it doesn't always work like that. Lets hope we see some reinforcements soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilmarnock, who haven't really had many changes in their squad, looked less prepared than us the other night. I think parts of the squad are ready, but I can see us struggling to score goals at the start of the season unless we get the new strikers in over the coming few days.

spankin_panda Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 Agree with all the above. There was a part of me thinking that we looked better as Killie were missing a few players (Boyd) and seemed lethargic. All in all, we looked good last Friday, however, the chances we crated and missed are a concern. I suspect you are right in that with the current team we look short of a goalscorer. Mullen works hard and is a good player but doesn't appear to have that killer instinct. Whats not helped is that last few seasons we have been able to make do without said type of striker as we have lots of goals from midfield (Mallan and Morgan)........ Hope I am wrong but I fear we lack in that department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MenstrieSaint Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 I would say a marque signing would be a player who has spent most of his career playing at a higher level than what St Mirren are playing at , and still has the fitness levels and ability to deliver goods . The hard bit is to identify the potential marque signing from the potential dud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Yards Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 Most of Danny Lennon’s signings - Thommo, Teale, McGowan, Carey, Hasselbaink, Imrie were “marquee” signings. And by the way it’s marquis. id say now a mackay Steven, Stevie May, Darren bent would be in the marquis category Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjerseybuddie Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 Marquee signings would probably consist of a couple of poles, a number of reliable guys , someone who never flaps and finally someone who can canvas for the club as long as they’re not too camp.

For me Rhodes totally fits the bill. Spent his early years growing up in Scotland. Cut about in a Scotland shirt as a kid. But probably more importantly than anything, at a point in his career when he was being touted as the next best thing, he chose to play for Scotland. Jordan Rhodes’s commitment to Scotland is beyond doubt. If you want to bang on about Dominic Matteo or Phil Bardsley then I’m right behind you. Not oor Jordan though. Jordan is a Scottish as haggis as far as I’m concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
