GashGod Jerusalyum Bel Aviv Israelifit Marciayesplease He went out on loan to the Belgian top-tier, but only made a handful of appearances before falling out of the squad entirely. The YouTube video supposedly showcases Marciano's ability, but I think people are misleadingly impressed by a handful of acrobatic saves. Still, I would rather we had a sharp shot-stopper over a decent distributor, after enduring two seasons of Oxley. He arrives with more experience than Oxley, but has not played a senior game for almost a year. Černý hadn't played a senior game for a similar amount of time; he went on to become Partick Thistle's Player Of The Season. It's incredible to think that Oxley was only displaced after 'misplacing his contact lense' and getting suspended. As long as Marciano improves on Oxley's ratio of one goal conceded for every shot on target, I'll be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Hopefully Mallan is not for sale on the cheap. Definitely a chance for a new board to play hard ball. He's got every chance of his career progressing further than McLean and McGinn. Genuinely the best ratio of getting free kicks on target I've ever seen. Must have an on target rate of about 75% and a conversion rate of about 30% . Hes that reliable from direct free kicks. £500k with Stanton. £300k without. In all seriousness though, he'd be severely underselling himself by leaving only to stay in the championship (or Scotland) and we're under no pressure whatsoever to sell considering he is contracted until 2018.

Ludo*1 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 We're also going to be going in for him provided Stewart moves on. Already had one presumably derisory bid rejected as we tested the waters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulysses Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Is Stanton a CM? Wouldn't want anyone coming in that wasn't, considering we only have Mallan, Hutton, and the injured Quinn who can play there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attacking minded central mid but not at all good from what I've seen of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zing. Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 We'd only make a bid for Mallan if our Henderson bid fails. He's our first and main target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGinn was a free agent but St Mirren were due substantial compensation. We could have effectively kept him out the game (in Scotland anyway) if he refused to sign the contract we offered him and no-one else paid the compensation or was willing to risk a tribunal. Hence we accepted a derisory amount from Hibs with a substantial sell-on fee. Mallan has two years left on his contract so will only go if St Mirren want him to. The Club does not need the money and Mallan is a better prospect that either McLean or McGinn being our top scorer last season from midfield (14 goals) in the shittiest team in living memory. We have already knocked back a joke bid of £75K from a Premiership team. Mallan may well leave but it won't be to a Championship team in Scotland.

Alan Stubbs Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Daniel Boeteng and Danny Haynes. There's two player I completely forgot about that. Shudder to think about the procession of loan diddies at the club in that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
