This has been Kanes best season by far, and yeah you definitely see his value + notice when he's not there. He's woeful in front of goal and it's genuinely infuriating. If we can play up the park instead of hoofing then he's comfortably 3rd choice. Issue for us next season will be, if Kane extends, we'll have Hendry, May and Kane all contracted, so that's like 4 league goals from that bunch Edited April 28, 2021 by RandomGuy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to see that he has, in fact, not. As you were. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If his stats were truly earth shattering he wouldn't be playing for St.mirren. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glenburn bud Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 O’Halloran is done, he’s nowhere near the level of Durmus. Surely Jim has better options on recruitment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some of that can be mitigated by St Mirren being a particularly unadventurous side in the first half of the season though. The lack of production probably stops him getting a move to a (smart) team in England. The fact we were ravaged by COVID issues may have accounted for that. I’d say we are probably the most adventurous team in the league given the number of Academy players we have played this season. McAllister, McPherson, Henderson, Erhahon, Reid. How many graduates can your Club with all its millions of money invested into your academy have provided as a pathway to the first team this season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTOF Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 McGrath offers so much more to a team than goals, so I'm unsure as to why people seem to be concentrating on the number of goals he's scored. Also, a players assists rely on strikers actually being able to score from the passes made to them. Our forwards haven't exactly been prolific this season. When you actually have seen every minute that McGrath has played this season, you can see how good a player he is. However, he's not the finished article. He needs to improve his shooting for a start. He's a very brave player and doesn't hide, and he's got bags of energy. His delivery from set pieces has been consistently good too. He also gets booted about the place by opposition carthorses and he just gets up and gets on with it. If he were to go, it would probably be for a fee around £500K, with a decent sell on. It might rise if there's some competition for his signature. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 His goal tally is just a headline number. If he was knocking them in from 25 yards every week we’d be looking at Ryan Gauld transfer fees, but he has not added that to his game. He has basically been an every present for us. Works hard for the team throughout the 90mins. I don’t even remember him being substituted. Great engine once he adjusted to the pace and physicality of the Scottish top league. My gut feeling is he will stay with us. His manager is Irish and I’m sure that was one of the reasons he signed for us. Jim is talking him up that he deserves a call up to the nation team. What have they got to lose? Many of his teammates are Irish. Many of his supporters drink the Guinness! Once the pandemic is over he can easily catch a flight from Glasgow Airport to home. The grass is not always greener on the other side. Say “Oh ah Jamie McGrath say oh ah Jamie McGrath” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of words to agree with me that "£2m-£3m" is a laughable price tag, tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
