I don't think it is a goer DJ, I may be wrong but I think it's Rangers using us as leverage in negotiations with someone else. Time will tell I suppose!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McAllister is broken - definitely not someone who you'd hang any sort of hopes on between now and the end of the season. Magennis is also completely wasted in the wide areas but can cover in a pinch. Similarly, Flynn and Foley could also cover there, but you'd rather not have to rely on either doing so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With or without the new player, something's got to give in the middle of the park. There isn't room for McPherson, Flynn, Foley and Magennis in there. Nice problem to have, but it's a tough call. I think you've still go to go with the experience of Flynn and Foley who are both undroppable when fit, IMHO, with Cammy dropping back to the bench and Magennis shuffling out wide. But it's tough to call. You can see why McGinn is basically surplus to requirements now, legend that he is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not a fan of sticking with out of form players. Magennis hasn’t kicked a ball all season, cammy is the in form player at the moment. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ulysses Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I actually think both Cammy and Kyle played well together in the middle of the park against Killie. Worked well as a duo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Magennis should be giving way to McPherson on current form. I’m not a fan of sticking with out of form players. Magennis hasn’t kicked a ball all season, cammy is the in form player at the moment.Agree with this. Never quite seen what all the fuss about with Magennis is tbh. He’s very... average. He’s not exactly a hard tackler and he doesn’t chip in with many goals or assists. Whereas McPherson does both, the improvement in Cammy this season has been remarkable and he’s pretty much first name on the team sheet now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually believe Kyle has great ability, he’s just not progressed as much as we all thought he would since promotion. There can be a multitude of reasons why this has been the case. He’s a young lad who I’m sure will find his form again. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddie06smfc Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Tend to agree with Lex, Magennis is a decent player however don’t think he’s of the calibre of young players we’ve brought through and lost in recent years. I think Magennis’ best form in the team was when he first came through under Jack Ross and played on the right of midfield. Perhaps there is a Hugh Murray type situation with the captaincy & he should be left to play his game without the added responsibility. McPherson has done very well over the past month previous to the winter break. Think it is a bit over the top to have him as first name on the team sheet mind you. I wouldn’t shift him out the team at the moment because his form deserves inclusion in the starting 11 and central midfield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Magennis is only 21, same age as MacPherson, and he's played a lot of football for his age, despite a few injuries. He's clearly a good player who has had a slight dip in form. Our fans are fucking awful for doing this to our younger players, with both McLean and McGinn suffering similar shite when their form dipped a bit. Erhahon has also been written off at the age of 18. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hardly conducive to helping younger guys develop and reach their potential. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 According to Goodwin: "We did make an enquiry for Glenn in the summer but unfortunately he chose to go to Hibs and that was that. We have moved on since then and it wouldn't be something that we would be looking to do this window. "We are talking to one or two others at the moment, hoping to get them over the line. I don't want it dragging on until the window closes. We are not desperate to get anybody else in but the one or two we are speaking to are very good and would make us better in the second half of the season." There was a bit somewhere else where he says we're well covered in that area, which was exactly my thought when the rumour first surfaced! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I like the idea of signing a couple of very good players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 Wonder what positions will be. If we're talking to two players, I'd imagine one will certainly be a full back. Maybe the other player is the young goalkeeper with an eye on next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 Tad random at first glance, but a quick search shows that Skyview have signed up as a sponsor of Juventus' US academy and a couple of youth invitational tournaments being run by them. Hence, Del Pierro was kicking about at the media event. Time to get the feelers out for a wee parent club deal, I reckon. Also, Youri Djorkaeff wearing a Saints shirt and Alessandro del Pierro getting the obligatory 'posing with the shirt' pic in the one season?! 1997 me is screaming inside a wee bit. Get me some Batistuta and Cantona before the season's out and I'd be away to finish myself off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
