You just never know a striker could be all the difference in this tie.. Also, were known to be solid defensively. If we can continue that again, frustrate them etc fans might get on their back. The pressure and expectation then builds on them even more so. We could then exploit a mistake that comes from that pressure. All if but maybe but not ruling us out either. As long as we don't allow them to have an easy chance etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Marly Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I really wish we’d get our finger out with some signings or it’s going to cost us a chance at the group stages. Absolutely criminal that we’ve started the season with the attackers we have. We’ve known for months when these fixtures were There was this Chinese guy who ate a bat..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their wage bill is slightly higher than Rangers from what I can see, and they've spent ~€20m so far on new players to add to the likes of Arda Turan, Ryan Babel and Falcao. I'm all sort of keens for the bravado of "anything is possible, dare to dream" etc., but let's be realistic about this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offered him a decent deal but blown out the water by another Premiership club. Paying him more than we've ever paid a player.

There's been a bit of an ongoing thing about noising up some St. Mirren fans on here by pointing out they only went for the grant to spend it on players... Hence the comment as well about they're offering him more than we've ever offered a player as well.

I think it's that it's arguably against the spirit of the loan of taxpayer's money to use on players rather than cushion the impact of the pandemic. But a club needs to buy players (and even sell them for a profit) as part of normal operations. It's not really a thing IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder who the second was and what happened? I don't mind waiting for Eetu, looks worth it given potential etc and the fact we need to deal with covid and brexit. Would still like to see Middleton back. I'd guess that 90% of our UK based targets end up at clubs who offer them multiples of what we can. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radford Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 The government loan is means tested and St Johnstone were offered an amount commensurate with the size of the business and the loss of earnings from the best hospitalty and conference facilties in Scotland (as decided by the Football Business Awards committee). The loan is going to towards the recovery in these areas and safeguarding jobs. It's widely known in the right football circles that a couple of clubs are simply spending their whole payment on players. It's not for me to name the clubs but you don't need to be a genius to work out who they are. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRealNumber5 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Did anyone else sign up for the commemorative bottles of whisky? Received mine today, trying to work out if I’ve actually received bottle number one and now wondering if I’ve inadvertently been the only one who’s bought one… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
