Having him training for ~2 weeks and playing in a match before deciding was sensible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perthsaint1977 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 By all accounts he has been very impressive in training and already having impact on others in the squad especially the younger ones. Good addition. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 It's easy to look good in training. Not in the sense that Conway is a Monday to Friday superstar but the intensity of a Saturday can't be replicated until it comes around. We aren't going to know if is age is an issue until the games get going, or especially if we'll get a full season out of him. We aren't going to have the wide options we've had in recent years so it'll be important they can all contribute. You know you'll get that from Wotherspoon but hopefully O'Halloran will rise to the challenge again. Security with Conway would be if he is a good influence and I think adding a good, experienced character to the playing squad makes sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might do Kerr some good to sit back from that for a season, and Conway has captained a few times in previous clubs as far as I understand. Conway can't be seen as a replacement for either Kennedy or Wright, so agree we could still do with signing one more if the opportunity is there. With the window lasting through October though and with the likelihood being that there may still be some choice in the market / free agents maybe CD wants to see the team in real match action before making any decisions. Happy enough with Conway I guess, seems a safe enough move and balances out the unknown (to us) young loanees. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

June 2019 ( 1 year ago) Tony Mowbray, Blackburn manager offered him a new contract in the English championship. If he had no issues about his intensity etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't grudge him going but I was surprised he was leaving Scotland. Don't think he has any stand out traits that would have helped him excel down there. Surely on less wages now than he was at St Johnstone? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea what he was earning before or after but I imagine he'll be less than the contract offers he got from both Saints and Aberdeen. I imagine Aberdeens offer would have been good and Saints offer would have been a quite reasonable increase in terms from what he was on before as well. Thats what happens when you let your Dad look after your affairs with no previous experience of being a football agent though. If you're going to go into negotiations with Saints ask for Old Firm level money then you're either deluded or playing some kind of game. Funny thing is the Southend wage wont have been any better than Aberdeens offer in the end surely?!

Both appearance and what we achieve in regard to league placings and cup progress. In the near future it's gonig to take some form of gross mismanagement for us to fall out of the top six so I'd suggest we'd have offered him a very good deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Van Dyke Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Quite pleased if Conway does sign. I don’t want us to sign someone for the sake of it but I still think we’re light in centre midfield, especially with the way Muzz plays and Liam getting on and with a condensed pre-season we could easily pick up a few niggles. I really wouldn’t want to see spoony as part of a two if we do get any injuries. It seems strange that a few people agree we need another option in the middle yet the ITK’s saying no mentions of any centre mids. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't mean we're not speaking to players in that position, Davidson said he hoped to add another player 'pretty soon' and it wasn't Conway I don't think as he addressed him specifically later in the same interview. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Van Dyke Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Has anyone who took the finance option on season tickets heard anything back yet? It said someone would be in contact to finalise things and that could take up to 3 weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
