On paper Dicker seems the better of the two. A downgrade on my boy JDH, but you can see why St Mirren have identified him as a replacement/back up, IMO. Obviously this is nowhere near what clubs use, but like that it adds some context to what seem like poor decisions. If you're looking for a like for like, experienced, JDH-esque player then Power seems a reasonable shout, on paper. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most clubs have with Covid at some point even Hibs done it they will have been paid or be in process of being paid out the prize money you’d expect 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted June 19, 2021 Author Share Posted June 19, 2021 Power 2 or 3 years ago was a definite yes from me. But at 33 and watching him last season, I worry he doesn't have it anymore so I'm really underwhelmed by this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthBank Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 There were a few times last season we could have done with an old head in midfield. As an experienced squad player I am comfortable with him signing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doonhame Buddie Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Would have been cheaper to re-sign Foley, both offer the same in midfield. And, no, I definitely don’t want Foley back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AW saint Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Sometimes a player gets a new lease of life moving on. Our club has a real positive vibe about it and Power may get a bounce from it. We lack experience and dig. He is just what we need. Now sign Lafferty as well 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s not signing a one year deal to be a back up, he’ll play most weeks in my opinion unless we have someone else lined up to come in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I agree that the likes of Ethan wont improve unless he has some on field guidance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 (edited) Power is an absolute waste of a wage, unless he is on utter peanuts. Interestingly everyone is comparing him to JDH in the assumption that Power is his replacement, however nobody thinking he's the replacement for McGrath... Edit: Just thinking if I have reacted as negatively to previous Goodwin signings, and while not all of them have worked out, I'd say Main and Power are the first players Goodwin has brought in that I actively don't want at the club. If Stubbs had brought them in, this thread would be in meltdown. Edited June 20, 2021 by Ric 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because he's a completely different player and you already filled that role with Kiltie, but idk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but Goodwin has bought himself a fair bit of good will after two good seasons and a pretty strong track record in making signings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add in the fact that Main and Power are in no way comparable to the shite that Stubbs left us with. Cole Kpekawa. Jeff King. Danny Rogers. Josh Heaton. There were others that, happily, I've managed to expunge from my memory. Not particularly impressed with the Power signing, mainly due to his age and performances against us last season. However, he appears to fit the bill of a mid-field "enforcer", which is a type of player we didn't have last season. He also comes with experience, which the likes of MacPherson and Erhahon will benefit from. Fingers crossed a change of scenery will revitalise him. I'll give him a chance, before calling him shite. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AW saint Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Tait was said to be done by Well fans. He was outstanding last season. I will give Power every chance to see what he does for us. I expect Goodwin will unearth some more gems before the window closes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Power is someone who always impressed me but I remember thinking on more than one occasion last season that he'd dropped off a cliff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 We could get away with it, Erhahon/MacPherson/Kiltie/McGrath all have fresh legs for doing the graft. We need someone to organise and enforce. Sadly Foley could have been that but he fell away drastically, which is why we are concerned about with this potential signing. Power was definitely nowhere near his usual standard last season but Killie were abject and their was definitely something going on behind the scenes.Again another risky one that could pay off. Big season for Goodwin he has to get these signings right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Power has impressed me too and like you he looked off it last season. Yet again so many Killie players did. I will give him a chance. I was more impressed by signing Kiltie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that we've lost/released at least six players, if Power signs, we'll really only have room for one more. Two at a push. Despite tear stained claims elsewhere, we'll be balancing the books as we always do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
