Dave The Buddie Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Expect movement outward bound from our current midfieldersHopefully not Smith. The feel good factor from last season has disappeared.Not the players fault we have brought in that our transfer strategy has been disastrous.Welcome Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Welcome Ryan. One area of the park we are not short on is midfielders however he has made 91 appearances in the Premiership which is more first team football than every other signing from our manager put together so a welcome addition. Pity he is not a central defender/striker/winger though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W6Saint Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Yawn.Somebody point out to Stubbs the difference between Centre Back, Centre Forward and Centre Mid - he seems to struggle with this concept!Laughably bad squad management, possibly the most imbalanced squad i’ve seen at Saints.

Drew Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Genuine question, and not simply trying to be a prick for the sake of it (I don't need to try) - Why this signing, at this point in time? Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shull Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 What has experience got to do with anything ? Is he good or not so good ? Gerry Creaney signed for us. He was very experienced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only guessing Drew but I think Jones was brought in with a view on playing as a defensive midfielder....due to injuries and keechness he is having to play centre half and we then needed another defensive midfielder, just speculation on my part though!!

Not sure if hes injured or not, though not featured much under Stubbs. Cammy MacPherson or Erhahon also may find themselves loaned out. We are in an unfortunate position that probably 3 of our injured players would most likely have moved on if they were fit during this window, so that is 3 places filled.

From what i believe Edwards is versatile too in terms of sitting in a defensive and attacking role from midfield. I really hope we push the boat out for a striker now. Please!

Mid Calder Saint Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Welcome to the buds Ryan but I am struggling big time to come to terms with Stubbs signing policy.We badly need an experienced centre back and a wide player Dom Thomas and Darren O’Dea are available and are amongst a list of players told to find new clubs.I really fear for our future under this pretence manager unless he quickly sees our problems Time is running out yet another player Robbie Muirhead goes to the Pars a player we should have been after too.

On strikers, Stephen Dobbie might do a job. Lawrence Shankland probably out our price range now. Hopefully AS has way more options in mind and lined up.

Anyone? Who knows. And if it's not bad enough we are signing another central midfielder, we have just signed one of the worst players I have ever seen in the Premiership. I think Stubbs is way out of his depth . He signings have been awful. He seems to have alienated the players that were already at the club, and the club captain has already been complaining to the press about his performance. Stubbs apparently tells Cammy Smith to find a new club and then signs this guy? This seems like grasping at straws.
