djchapsticks Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 Baird is nowhere near good enough for this level. We're as well cutting loose and replacing him now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 The best thing we can say about Thorvaldsen (sic?) is that he will be a great St Mirren quiz question in future.Name the last Icelandic player to play for St Mirren.Nope sorry, Guni is wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 This might be a stupid question - will he count towards your loan signing quota or is it fine as long as he doesn't appear? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 Just now, Mr. Alli said: This might be a stupid question - will he count towards your loan signing quota or is it fine as long as he doesn't appear? He appeared twice, so yeah. We've only had him and Sheron on loan anyway so we're well below. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worked for a Norwegian company as I was employed out of Norway Norwegian citizenship was there if I wanted it after being employed for over 5 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought international loans didn't count anyway, as they are technically transfers? I thought loan limits only referred to domestic loans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that Jim has used Foley when McCarthy was out and after the red card last week is telling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I take it none of the young guys we promoted can play at the back? What happened to Nick McAllister, do we still him? Ideally we'd be able to sign a young defender with promise who would provide back-up and play the odd game and we can develop him for the future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly McAllister played in one of our pre-season games (against Hibs?). I'm sure he played a BetFred cup game a while back, too. No idea why he's not made the jump up, maybe he'd be drafted in if Baird was to be shifted and we didn't bring in a replacement. I think we are taking a gamble not having cover for Tait, unless maybe Fraser can cover there (albeit that leaves the question of filling RB but we've got more cover for that). I'd like to see a loan player that is capable of covering either fullback position and if Baird is moved on similar cover in the centre.

Never heard of the Icelandic player to be honest. You can get Icelandic citizenship if you have been In Iceland working for 5 years. That was the thought behind the answer. Mark can have dual citizenship. Edited August 27, 2020 by ZingaliMan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus is it not pretty much unlimited if they are from outside Scotland? I mind Gretna went on a loan signing spree all those years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTOF Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 If we're looking for a young loan player from England to replace him, then there should be plenty of options available. Although, must be difficult for a young player on his own, living the way that players have to at the moment, in an unfamiliar setting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A maximum of six players can now be signed on loan by any one side in the coming season - up from four previously. And clubs will also be allowed to loan two players from any team in the same division - instead of just one -and four from sides in different levels of the Scottish league - up from two.Jul 21, 2020 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenburn bud Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Jim Goodwin today said that he may well be dabbling in the league of Ireland for another couple of Players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be shocked if he wasn't looking there. Equally, I'd be shocked if any of the players he was looking at came to fruition in this window as LOI players are all contracted until January so we'd be looking at a transfer fee for any we'd want to get just now. I watched the first half of Bohemians vs St. Pats last week waiting on our game to start and there were one or two players in the Bohemians side that looked quite tidy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Talking of Irish football, albeit in the North, and with a nod to someone once of this parish, I see Kearny guided Coleraine to a win over Maribor. I spotted there was a live stream on the BBC last night, and while I didn't watch much I did see a well kent face on the touchline. That's a very decent result for them. Maribor have huckled bigger teams than Coleraine out of Europe. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
