Ayrshire Saints Posted January 4, 2021 Report Posted January 4, 2021 Absolutely stunned at that. Best record outwith Cosgrove over last 3 years bar the 2 cheeks. 29 league goals in 70 starts. Superb work but as always with Saints until you see him kissing the badge inside the stadium you always have doubts Quote
chalky1 Posted January 4, 2021 Report Posted January 4, 2021 Would we be able to afford 30K just now, maybe get him in sooner? Quote

3 moffat buds Posted January 5, 2021 Report Posted January 5, 2021 Maybe we are going to be looking looking closer to home in future as JG says in the article below.

All other countries though are now no-go areas for clubs like us.😫 Quote
TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted January 5, 2021 Report Posted January 5, 2021 Am I right in saying Brophy hasn’t featured much for Killie this season and if not why not? Just don’t recall his name being mentioned much recently, either as a scorer or on Sportscene or the like. Quote

Both him and O'Donnell were in discussions last season to extend their deals. O'Donnell walked and Brophy turned down an extension to 2023 ! Quote

spankin_panda Posted January 5, 2021 Report Posted January 5, 2021 If true and we can negotiate getting him now, it really could bolster the squad. we can but wish, but one more ‘creative’ player in the fold too would really propel us. I also expect to see a few go in this window. Quote
oaksoft Posted January 5, 2021 Report Posted January 5, 2021 Taking a step back for a second, it maybe shouldn't surprise us that we've beaten off Aberdeen, Hibs and Motherwell. All of those clubs run at significant losses normally but this season they are probably already running significant enough losses that without fans, they can't afford to add to it. I don't think St. Johnstone are more attractive than us and coming to us, he won't have to relocate. A club like us, where we have no debt, are maybe coming into our own because of the pandemic restrictions. Maybe we're seeing evidence of a levelling of the playing field. Quote

Looking like i was well wrong Even if we don't get Brophy, at least we are making good effort to improve the team at the right time. Quote
TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted January 5, 2021 Report Posted January 5, 2021 Maybe I’ve just got the fear given our track record with this kind of thing, but if Brophy signed a PCA yesterday as has been suggested, why wouldn’t it have been formally announced today? Maybe holding off until they thrash out whether he can move now or not? Quote

faraway saint Posted January 5, 2021 Report Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) I rarely get involved in posting about new players, I prefer to wait and see how they get on, even then, I'm not overly critical of individuals too often as there's usually more to it than meets the eye. The only reason I'm posting here is I believe this guy, Brophy, could be a great signing. Reasonable pedigree in the top league, reasonable goal scoring record, again in the top league and we've heard of or seen him. Not the usual 3 minute You tube snippet that makes many players look good. He's at a cracking age and, given the right support, could cement out current position, or improve it. Saying all that, if he fails miserably, I'll just say I posted this for the sake of it. Edited January 5, 2021 by faraway saint Quote

He was even doing that at League 1 level. No idea WTF happened to him up here but I hope he finds his feet again at his former club. Quote

Some players can handle it up here, some can’t, seeing he’s quite a strong fella you’d expect a bit more from him, always looked to cause defence trouble but final product and that one extra touched seemed to always let him down, wish him all the best!
