Buddist Monk Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Not sure if there is anything in this other than him being offered training facilities.

Our one weakness is that teams can on occasion bully us, of our "defensive" midfield players; McGinn, McShane (Hill should be mentioned, but he's not had a run in the team), neither of them have the "bite" that Donati showed in the top league. Unsure of his injury status, nor his disciplinary record - and it would be the latter I'd be more concerned over - but as a late sub to shore things up? I don't reckon that would be that bad an idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True enough, doesn't bode well for Mark Hill then if that is the reason we've signed him. If indeed we have actually signed him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coventry Saint Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I know Robert Grieve writes for the Sun, but I think he's usually fairly reliable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If indeed we have actually signed him. I'd liked to have seen some of him, but I presume Ross sees him daily in training and knows where or if he should play. I guess we've signed him.. *shrug* ..I mean, it would be pretty bloody odd to announce we had if we hadn't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its in the Sun, so take with a pinch of salt...but I had heard that he was training with us for the last week or so. Might add a bit of extra midfield resilience. https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/2256284/celtic-hamilton-massimo-donati-st-mirren/ 33 minutes ago, houston_bud said: Seems a strange signing if true, I thought he'd retired due to an injury? Left by mutual consent when Hamilton realised that they'de been scammed and couldn't afford to keep paying some of their bigger earners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second place is still well within your grasp and it doesn't look like it'll be Dundee who pump you in the playoff final, so you've every reason to be cheerful. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glenburn bud Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Donati almost single handedly tore us a brand new one for Accies in the league cup tie at the start of the season. Good signing that will provide good experienced cover for the title run in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddie06smfc Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I saw Donati in the directors box at the QoS game and thought nothing of it. This signing should confirm play offs for us at least this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houston_bud Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 https://www.stmirren.com/news/club/all-news/1608-falkirk-match-rescheduled Falkirk game switched to March 24th. Good news as it gives us more time to prepare for the Dundee Utd game. 3 games in 6 days would have been a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
