The St. Mirren FC 2023/24 thread

If we are in for Matty Kennedy, then I worry that Jim will try and shoehorn him into the RWB position. 
Is he not more versatile? I though he could play not only behind the strikers, but can also be utilised down the wing? I thought in his time he had been deployed as a RWB before? He has pace, would this not be what we need as both Tait and Fraser are more defensive minded and Henderson is still young. Would the pace of Kennedy and the crossing of Tanser not be what is needed in the system?

Why is that a worry ?

I'm pretty sure Kennedy played RWB under McInnes last year and was largely ineffective/pish according to the Dons fans on here.

"Linked" with Kennedy again, it's in the Record without a single source or quote.
If you believe the Record, and let's be honest that's always a hard ask, then it's apparently between us and County. St Johnstone are out of the race after having to spend way over the odds for MoH and Middleton thanks to them being linked to us.
Underwhelming to say the least, imo. I cannot see what he's actually bring to the side that we either don't have already or would need to change the shape to accommodate.

I could easily see him being utilised Durmus style as a wing back which is exactly what we need.

Or just use Flynn there

What was Popescu like? He's free to leave Hearts and has been linked with us

He was very popular, albeit slightly over-romanticised because of his role in the Great escape, and because of his quality relative to the absolute jobbers that had preceded him.

That said, I'm surprised Hearts are letting him go. The majority of Saints fans would be happy to take him back, probably as a squad player.

Urminsky is a giant. Great prospect

It's literally the first time I've ever seen him play! What's that? 3 years with us?

 

For those wondering, like me, about the line up, it was this...

Deary me, he's laying it on a bit thick, isn't he?
