Stick to watching Saints tv m8. You do know it could also change to 5 when we receive sustained pressure? So throwing in another defender, one who is left footed, which we don't have already is going to leak goals? It's another option, he's young and if he succeeds could have a resale value, exactly the type we should be picking up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his mind, there is no such thing as a 4-3-2-1, 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-1-1. All of these formations are actually 4-5-1 and this makes us an extremely negative, defensive team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m glad we’re going down the road of signing young players and keeping a body of experienced players to help them develop. Yip. We were interested in him a few years ago but never offered him anything. I'm sure he'd have been on less for a contract renewal than he'll cost to sign. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better players from the league below who they feel can make the step up with potential to get better. Not condescending at all. Were either in the market for players like him who are younger and looking for a step up or players who've lost their way a bit. MOH as an example. Were never going to sign a proven goal scorer at this level. Someone who is very likely to score 20 goals or a defender in his prime that's played 200 plus games at this level, knows the league etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Van Dyke Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 That’s county just paid 100k for Oli Shaw. I wish we would sign someone. Not all that confident about tonight’s match, hopefully we can pick up a positive result and if we don’t hopefully it pressures us into doing something in the transfer market. Liam Craig starting tonight, when was the last time he played? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilmarnock I think, and he was very good that night. Only surprise is MOH instead of Spoony, personally I'm fairly happy with that. I'm also glad we didn't pay £100k for Olly Shaw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange tommy didn’t give Liam some game time on Saturday since he knew Muzz was suspended . No chance of us paying £100 for anyone, never mind £100k 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I'm sure Shaw and Hendry have virtually identical ages, and almost identical goals per game averages in the top flight. Spanking a six figure fee on him would be one of the most pointless signings we could possibly make. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speculation in the past has them paying £100k for Draper, and £80k for Donaldson. Add £100k for Shaw and that's almost £300k. It's just silly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can judge on this window alone that they know they have needed to bring players in and have. We haven’t done anything. I’m not suggesting we run around signing players for 100k but how can our league rivals afford fees and wages and we can’t afford anyone ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heres their losses per year, from their accounts... 2018 - Loss of £232k 2017 - Loss of £1.4m 2016 - Loss of £849k 2015 - Loss of £1.6m 2014 - Loss of £380k £4.46m worth of losses in that period, not including the results for 2019, and they're spending £200k this window (so far).
