RandomGuy. Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 My only worry is it feels like it's unlikely any, proven, "15 goal striker" will be available at this point now. Could fully believe we could've signed one on a PCA, but we probably aren't going to spend the money required on a fee, and I'd be surprised if anyone of that quality will be going out of contract in a week and hasnt/doesnt get offers from bigger clubs. Feel like we're hanging our hat on a loan deal showing up late in the window, which would be a sketchy plan at best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Woolshed Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Getting Zander tied up on a similar deal to Jason would better any signing for me this summer. Hopefully the offer is sufficient and gives him hope we wouldn’t stand In his way if a suitable bid came in 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perthsaint1977 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Would not be a window without most saints fans panicking about something or other. Have a little faith 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a little faith I don’t know if your referring to my post or not, all I was saying is if we had been planning for this window for a year then you’d expect more to have happened. Why are we trimming the squad? Is it because the budget has been lowered? Surely with Alston, watt, Easton, shaughnessy, bell, keown, comrie and could even had mark hurst all going out we must have a bit of money to play with especially since we’ve brought very little in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look back a year on this thread and all the knicker wetting that was going on and then look at the first 2 weeks in July when Kennedy and Watt were signed and how the mood changed. Plenty of time for signings yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted June 26, 2019 Author Share Posted June 26, 2019 I know better than to panic after last year. It took until the middle of July to get motoring but there’s no doubting the quality we brought in with a bit of patience. I’m struggling to see where a 15 goal striker is coming from but I’m sure Wright will be trying and the board will back him as best they can. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radford Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I agree that it seems unlikely now we'll sign a striker who scored 15 goals or whatever (i.e. proven) last season. The problem is that TW's eye for guys he think might reach that level hasn't been great to date. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Graham - 24 games, 9 goals Graham Cummins - 32 games, 8 goals/ 30 games, 5 goals/ 15 games, 1 goal Tony Watt - 30 games, 3 goals Denny Johnstone - 20 games, 2 goals Callum Hendry - 12 games, 2 goals David McMillan - 4 games, 2 goals/ 12 games, 2 goals John Sutton - 21 games, 1 goal Rory Fallon - 8 games, 1 goal Chris Iwelumo - 6 games, 0 goals Adam Morgan - 5 games, 0 goals Joe Gormley - 1 game, 0 goals Writing all that down is saddening.

RandomGuy. Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Stevie May was at 32 games, 2 goals, last season for Aberdeen, if you want to stick him on that list above and gauge if he'd be worth it as our highest earner... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
