Kyle Posted January 8, 2021 Author Share Posted January 8, 2021 I don’t feel any ill will towards Tanser for wanting to see what his options are to be honest. He’s got young children and been away from his family for, what, 4 years now and won’t have had much chance to see them over the last year? I’d prefer that he stays but he’s not irreplaceable. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saints have seen this dance every single January window. See you Scott. Plenty have kept their options open, not signed and saw their career nose dived. Hello Danny Swanson and Tony Watt to remember a couple who spouted the same rubbish Don't know if we do it, but I'd like us to put a closing date on our contract offers, after which we make it clear it's off the table. As you say, we've seen a few players at this caper; Watt, Shaughnessy and Swanson if reports were accurate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d do the same thing if offered a significant pay rise to do the same job elsewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PauloPerth Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 You're right, I think at times though some have never intended to stay, they've just strung us along to push up their other offers and maybe have a fallback option. Its an agents job to get the best deal he can, but having a closing date at least looks after our own interests in a way. As disappointed as I was at Kennedy being sold a year ago, i quite liked the fact that Saints took control of the situation once he announced his PCA at Aberdeen and looked after ourselves by getting some cash, despite him apparently wanting to see the season out with us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they not just been bought over by a 22yo millionaire? Hard to imagine hes looking at a sickly looking left back from Scotland as his first signing tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Positive, sometimes. Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Are we going to end up with Tanser over in the right hand side or something like that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly same agency? The minute these stories from an agent appear on these shitty websites, you know the player is looking for other options. I don't know what the answer is. Are you cutting off your nose if you set deadlines but maybe it sets a tone for future negotiations with other players? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty obvious that there is a wage structure at Saints and SB won't be dicked about. Do players not speak to each other?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno if Morris would be mobile enough, but could use Chris Millar instead and that would still work. Also highlights how blessed we were with Dave Mackay in that I'd have him play in the back 3 with his ability, but also I'd probably have him at right back if I could. Shows we've never replaced him, if McNamara is the best right back I can remember!! Don’t care what formation you’re playing, Jason Scotland is in my team every time. What a fucking player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPerth Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Scotland, Swanson and Sandaza in the front three and our passing and possession stats are about 6%, but we're averaging 4 goals a game and the entertainment level is sky high! There'd be no point in anyone else joining the attack as those 3 dribblers are never releasing the ball but doing all the damage. Even one of them in this team now.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 It's worrying about that formation generally that you struggle to pick players who would best suit it. Stanic is the standout for being ideal. Our best centre backs over the last 20 years would hate it. It would either limit our best midfielders or they wouldn't be able to get around the pitch well enough. Danny Swanson with a pressing trigger role... Jason Scotland's lack of ability with his head would create frustration as we ping in hundreds of crosses. And I'm going on record as saying Danny McNamara was overrated too. He looked graceful and defended his man fine but had no end product and couldn't beat a man. Will watch his career with interest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 It says it all about the formation that arguably the best option as a central striker would be Kenny Deuchar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costanza Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Bit unfair on Derek Holmes to be honest.Agree on McNamara incidentally. He was fine and would have had no issue if stayed for season. But no more of an endorsement than that. Will probably be pining for him come 445 mind you when discover whatever shambles our manager has cooked up for today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit unfair on Sam Parkin. Anyone got any good vids of Scotland in action for Saints? Here’s a few I found, including a couple of headed goals Radford . The run from Stanic against Motherwell, absolutely class. Some great moments supporting Saints 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Those are the worst headed goals ever scored. The Hibs one comes off the top of his head! Even he can't beleive he's scored it. What a cross from Morais though and the pass from Stanic too. Scotland was some player. He scored a goal on his debut at Airdrie that was just like the famous Tony Yeboah one that he meets on the volley just as it comes off the ground. Beautiful. Folk talk about May and MacLean but they aren't in the same class as Scotland and Sandaza. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
