Ludo*1 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 DEEJANGO, on 20 Aug 2014 - 15:57, said: I would assume it is up to Paul Hartley (The Dundee manager) if he wants to loan players in and not upto the fans. I'm not sure how it works with St Mirren but I would hazard a guess it would be the managers choice who he signed, in saying that your fans would have probably been better off taking charge of the team. Agreed. I can see the St Mirren fans point though, yeah we'd have loved to get in a few loans from big clubs as long as they were better than what we had and were in the positions we needed strengthening. We don't need another midfielder (Drury) and I certainly wouldn't be ecstatic about getting Ellis 'Oldham's Worst Ever Player' Plummer. Quite liking our German CH Konrad and McPake despite his critics. If there is a LB going handy, that'd be smashing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTOF Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Agreed.

Quite liking our German CH Konrad and McPake despite his critics. If there is a LB going handy, that'd be smashing though. You do know that was based on one game. I think we'll take Patrick Viera's judgement over a couple of inbreds from Oldham. Anyway you'll see on Saturday just how good or bad he is and be able to judge from yourself. He's been excellent in both games for us, so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coventry Saint Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Apparently Drury picked us over Southend. He mumbled something about there being no airports in the South East or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 But... but... but... airport! Airport! We only sign players because we have an airport. Which is why the teams in Scotland that aren't right next to an airport never sign any loan players. I think the airport is why Bahoken chose to come to us. Certainly got good use out of it.

sergie's no1 fan Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 That'll do nicely. Maybe first choice ahead of Goodwin?. I hope Gowser brings his chin pads on saturday, for his sake . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 General consensus from fans of other clubs he's been at is that he's more than good enough for this level but has struggled with injuries. If we can somehow get him relatively fit then he will be a big asset for us this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Hope it works out for Ozzie. One of the few players who could be described as a 'hard man' without it being a euphemism for 'dirty sleekit hatchet man'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the few players who could be described as a 'hard man' without it being a euphemism for 'dirty sleekit hatchet man'. A sneakier version of Goodwin? Just what we need. Squad looks pretty much complete now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcat1990 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Osbourne Keep him together and he'll make your midfield quite the complete unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reid Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 If you can keep him fit then it will be a great signing, but he won't stay fit. He's not the greatest on the ball but he does what he does better than anyone else in the league - a step up from Goodwin, who I rate btw. As mentioned, he's a hardman but not dirty. Hope he does well because he was excellent for us and seems like a decent guy too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reid Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 No idea what formation you lot play but a midfield 3 of Osbourne, McGinn and McLean would be pretty impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 A sneakier version of Goodwin? Just what we need. Squad looks pretty much complete now. If you want something that shows what he's like in comparison to Goodwin, in over 50 games for us Osbourne was only booked 7 times and never sent off. As people have said, keeping him fit will be the tricky part. If he is fit, he'll win the ball over and over again before giving it simply to the more creative players. Obviously he has his limitations, but he knows that and does what he is capable of extremely efficiently. I love the guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberdeenBud Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Delighted with that. Was motm every time I saw him play for us against the Sheep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarraJag Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Osbourne is a good signing for a team for St Mirren, but the obvious and already mentioned factor is of course, if he can stay fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grass Is Greener. Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I would see absolutely no point in us loaning young players when we have an abundance of our own talent coming through. I seem to remember Ryan McGivern was loaned from Man City to Hibernian and he was BRILLIANT. Tbf Mcgivern was good while on loan, it was when he signed for us he turned pish.
