But if we're signing Broadfoot, Baird was going to be fourth choice CH. He's a good player; bit error prone sometimes, but not afraid to put his head where it matters. I'm hoping this will improve him and we'll get a better player back. Even recently, people have been suggesting he could still be a future Saints captain. Will follow this with interest. Good signing for Morton, IMO. Edited September 2, 2019 by Coventry Saint 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of a mental evening with the Broadfoot stuff then this but we need upgrades at the back so not too displeased. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Absolutely shocked by that to say the least. Morton are getting a good centre half no doubt but I didn't think a drop in division would be the move for him at this point. Clearly though, this means that Broadfoot to St. Mirren is happening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scosha Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 @Skyline Drifter we now have 5 players on loan from the Premiership. Is this allowed? I thought it was only 4 maximum that a club could have at any one time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just havent bothered to publish that one of your alleged loans has been converted to a permanent contract, presumably to facilitate an extra loan.

madmitch Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 (edited) Also surprised to see Baird go on loan. He was streets ahead of any of the muppet defenders Stubbs signed. I would have been happy for him to have stayed. I hope that he does a good job for you. Edited September 3, 2019 by madmitch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coventry Saint Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 All sorts of idiots on Twitter (I know; I was surprised as well) from both sides - surely faux outrage that he's going to Morton (and Morton fans apparently annoyed they've signed a Saints player). I mean... what grown adult actually gives a f**k? I reckon it's a good move for everyone involved. Playing under Hopkin could be good for him, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunning1874 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 We’re undoubtedly in a better place defensively than we were a week ago, but it’s still not good to have ended up with two left backs, four centre backs and no right backs. Though while he’s error prone Baird is certainly an upgrade on McLean and McAlister. Obviously versatility was always going to be central to our squad building but on what we’ve seen so far the centre backs or central midfielders who can supposedly do a job at right back are poorer there than the admittedly mediocre right back we sent out on loan a couple of weeks ago. Early days for Welsh obviously, but I was hoping we’d make a signing that would allow him to play centre back. We better not have doubled down on Cameron Blues by making his signing permanent to facilitate another loan rather than cutting our losses as we did with the other dud Livingston offloaded to us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like we have. An absolute Dylan Dykes of a signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
