The Moonster Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Aye, will judge him on his time with us. It's a position we needed filled so happy to get him in, would be handy if we got clearance for him for the weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Aye, Carswell should do fine for us. Absolutely no player should be judged by their time in Paisley, particularly over the last 2 or 3 seasons.We don't need him to do anything fancy, I'm hopeful he can cope nae bother. Hopefully a defender next... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
die hard doonhamer Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Just reading Gary Locke's interview and some of the wording he's used is concerning me. The part below he says Vaughan could "come back to us, hit the ground running and be a big player for the end of the season". I hope they don't have a recall clause. SD clarified this in the Raith thread, provided that the loan went through yesterday, the minimum term before they can recall is 28 days, which takes you until after the window closes. Even if they do have a recall clause, the SPFL wouldn't allow him to play in the Raith first team again until the summer window opens. So basically Locke has no idea what he's doing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Kelly Isley III Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Curiously enough I was discussing Stuart Carswell with a Saints-supporting work colleague before Xmas and he actually rated him, although he also admitted that no-one has really emerged with much credit at Paisley over the last eighteen months or so. If he turns out to be solid and efficient with a bit of dig then that will be quite satisfactory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallochSonsFan Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Club are doing some decent business this window. Well done to all those involved in making these moves happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 If we could get Mark Brown, Pettigrew and big Fraz Wright off the wage bill we should hopefully have room for another few additions. Add to that the chat about Jazza being crippled and McCallum going on loan then we should have plenty of scope to strengthen. There's also a fair chance that Thomson and most definitely Stevo were our two highest earners.I must admit, minus the departure of Thomson I'm delighted with how things have progressed with the squad this month. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McG Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Carswell will be a decent signing for you, I rated him but he took a lot of unwarranted abuse from some of our fans and wanted to leave at the 1st opportunity. Him and Vaughan are 2 decent signings, I would of taken Vaughan in Paisley, can't believe Raith let him go and brought in Stevenson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well unless its an Emergency Loan but that wouldnt get you to the end of the season and both clubs said yesterday the loan was "for the rest of the season". In any event, come what may, no player can change teams after March 31 in any circumstances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest Saints Fan Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Talk of getting rid of big Fraz. Disgusting. I feel like Ciftci. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Talk of getting rid of big Fraz. Disgusting. I feel like Ciftci. Unfortunately, as much as I love the big man, he's finished as a first team regular.He had to start all of our league cup group games at the start of the season and looked like he could barely walk after it. Has barely kicked a ball since.FWIW I'd be more than happy to see him remain as a coach but I fear he'll be on a decent wage that we could be doing with to bring in someone who is able to play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarti pooh Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Talk of getting rid of big Fraz. Disgusting. I feel like Ciftci. Fraser Wright is a tough one for me. Last season he was outstanding but this season maybe looks a season too far for him. I've grown attached to him and would hate to see him go but I want us to stay up more than anything and if that means freeing up his wage for someone that will stay fit then I'm regrettably for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 We all love the big man but he's not offering anything to the first team at the moment and on our budget we can't have any passengers. He was excellent last year though and I'll remember his time well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonsanorak Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Problem being Buckys imminent suspension. Fraz has done well for us and not let us down (as far as i (want to) (remember).Aye, he looks gubbed before he starts, but theres a game intelligence there still.The only time I've worried about him is when he has had to move wide to cover a full back and gets done for pace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Harvie has extended his deal until the end of the season, which is great, Fraz is away too.All the best to the big man. Him and Mark McLaughlin will go down together as two of my favourite centre-backs in recent years. Great entertainment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonsanorak Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Bugger. Hope we have a guy lined up and that Fraz gets a move that suits him, perhaps coaching/playing at stirling albion? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordo1872 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) Shame to see Fraz go but our budget doesn't cover sentiment and it was obvious he wasn't able to offer much on the playing front for the remainder of the season. It should free up some decent wage for (hopefully) the imminent arrival of a good quality centre half. Big thanks to him for his efforts, been a very positive signing and played his part in keeping us up last season. Harvie's extended loan is a boost, as is the arrival of Vaughan. Pleased with the business concluded this far and credit to Aitken and his team for that. Edited January 5, 2017 by Jordo1872 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
