Does it really matter if he signs anyone or not he's already done enough damage to the team and with the fans. It's only a matter of time.

Aye, that's pretty much the size of it.

Edwards won't save Stubbs now.

A sad state of affairs for all involved, but it can't be allowed to continue.

Edwards definitely signing today.

What one? The Australian one at Thistle? Another central midfielder? Why won't he sign someone who can actually play wide.

What a waste of budget when we have McGinn, Willock, Magennis, McShane, Erhanon, Kirkpatrick and Macpherson who play there! Sign some wingers FFS!

Confirmed on twitter. Ryan Edwards ex Thistle and current Hearts player. Another central midfielder.

Great. Yet another on loan too. At least we won't have huge costs to punt them.

Enjoy plenty of running about with no purpose and cringey social media posts.

Ryan Edwards is a good player for a bottom six premiership team. 

Why did he leave Thistle?

Did you want him to stay?

What an utterly bizarre move all round Edwards signing for Hearts has been. Signed in the summer on a two year deal, 0 minutes for the first team and punted out on loan in August.  Genuinely haven't even been able to form an opinion on him, but if he's as bad as our management obviously feel he has been then it can't be seen as a good move by St Mirren.

He left because he had the same clause as most of the team where he either took a wage cut or he was free to leave. He chose to leave.

Wouldn't have wanted him to stay. Somehow he managed 100+ appearances for the club despite not being particularly great at anything except being incredibly fit and being able to run and run. He doesn't create or score enough to play further forward and definitely isn't a defensive midfielder either.

Edwards is an unbelievable athlete. He can run full pelt for 90 minutes comfortably. Won’t be many fitter players in Scotland.

This is negated by the fact that he’s fucking terrible at football.

Could have been brought in to Hearts to bulk numbers in squad and they have now signed better options/making room for another with some of the Lafferty cash before deadline?

Stubbs really doesn’t seem to know what he is doing and looks grossly out of his depth, add to that Jackson is a p***k who doesn’t get on with the squad and Rice is as thick as 2 short pieces of wood it really shouldn’t come as a real surprise that our squad is a shambles.

Its now just a matter of how long Gordon Scott gives them before he admits defeat and bags them.

Between the management team and the board they have destroyed all the hard work and feel good factor Jack Ross created.

How can the club do this so soon after the Tommy Craig fiasco?

I actually feel sorry for guys like Edwards, Jones and Hodson. 

They've come in and the fans are already coiled up and waiting to get on their backs because they are players the supporters (correctly) feel simply aren't needed at present. They will be given little or no chance to prove themselves. They are the guys who are condemned as a result of being signed by a manager who appears to follow the same ethos as me playing football manager whilst pished. 

We already had 7 centre mids in the squad before today. That's now 8 fucking bodies. We definitely, unequivocally did not need another. We already have a case for trimming 3 or 4 away. 

Jones was brought in as a defensive midfielder but is playing centre half. Folk are on his back so qucikly but again, the manager brought him in instead of the novel idea of utilising that budget on an Actual fully trained  centre half. Not a young lad who played there a couple of times in a pinch. 

Hodson came in to provide full back cover which is fair enough but instead of a right back who might be able to play left back, why not the other way about? Paul McGinn was clearly stronger than Coulson defensively so a guy whose main position was LB was the obvious choice. 

And don't fucking get me started on the lack of width and centre forwards. It's a total shambles that we've let guys like Ross Stewart go on the basis that we *might* get someone. 

Stubbs has assembled an absolute mess of a squad. More imbalanced than under Alex Rae, more centre mids than under Gus. Its actually painful to think where and how he'll shoehorn all these guys into the starting XI and how horribly poor they'll look being so out of position. What on earth is he thinking?!
