wee_bairn Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Would the development fee you would have been due not be a five figure sum also? Just going with the amount of games he has played and interest in the player. If he was a key player towards your chances in the playoffs it seems a bit mad to let him go to a rival. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy to take the board (and payer and manager) at their word that he will be with us until the end of the season, even if his paperwork changes hands in January. I mean the fact that we will have a bit of money to spend rather than we need to replace Morgan. Jack Ross and Gordon Scott seem confident we'll have him until the summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if he's seen as a back up to Reilly or a starter. Probably competition for all 3 front positions as can play wide. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripping the pish right out of the "emergency" loan system. Not really, think about it, if the player knows he’s signing for anothe club, a club that are currently in direct competition with his current club would his heart truly be in it ? St Mirren wanted him, he wanted to go, why wait ? Im sure we wanted to free up a wage in order to help fund his replacements wages too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Fingers crossed this means Darryl Duffy is on the way out. Most pointless signing in St Mirren history. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most pointless signing in St Mirren history. I think we can easily cover the fee for Mullen by shedding the wages of a few players who have contributed nothing (or very little) to the first team. Duffy is one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 Does this kill Loy rumours then? Chances are Hilson, Sutton and Duffy will all be gone. Means we might yet go for another forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's trust and faith like that, that makes it even more painful when the inevitable happens, and the player, manager, and chairman betray it all by fucking the club over just before the window shuts, (leaving you no time to replace him except with total shite), and Celtic (and much of the rest of Scottish football) have a great laugh at your nativity, and your club's resultant irreversible, inevitable tailspin into the lower leagues.* Not that I'm still bitter btw..... *Sure this won't happen with Morgan tho..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddie06smfc Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Very good signing, liked the look of Mullen in the Livi team. Pretty sure he’s the one that gave Buchanan a torrid time in the league cup which had us all doubting whether Buchanan was up to it. Think it’s a needed signing when Smith was out injured a couple weeks back we lost a lot of our attacking threat. Playing Stelios there, or anywhere, is a desperate measure. Mullen will be a far better option than the likes of Kirkpatrick. I would like to see Ross Stewart and Sutton stick about as well but it’s pretty evident one of them will go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 We'd happily take any of those three. Sutton being the preference albeit I accept financially it's unlikely to be possible. I think Hilson is a good player but I'm not sure we should risk signing him, he's an absolute crock. Duffy I have no idea about but I can't imagine he'd make much of an impact.Sutton however would be a fantastic signing. A guy I've always rated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
