Yoshi-1991 Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Would take Crawford off hamilton. If we stay up.and they go down they will be looking to offload and at this point in his career Crawford won't want to play in the Championship. I'm sure he will get other offers but the fact he's local my sway him to come to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Wispy Flossy Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 I'd take Keatings if there's anything in that rumour. I wouldn't be so keen. Never been good enough to start regularly in championship the last 3 years. Scoring record no better than bob mchugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been desperate to go down south since Alex Neil left and hoped he would take him to Norwich, even if accies went down I doubt they would be easy to deal with to sign him. Some accies fans I've seen say he's not even that good as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Wispy Flossy Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 McHugh - 90/11 Keatings - 120/37 I'd say that was better than McHugh. 2016/17 Keatings 5 in 27 Mchgugh 6 in 37 Marginally better I will give you that (in a more successful team not only this year but in all 3 seasons in the championship) Ryan bowman would score a barrel load in that league in amongst the part time dross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goggles & Flippers Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 I was impressed with Fisher too, good with the head and holding which compliments a short arse poacher, plus he is composed with a high work rate. Maybe a bit too close to Louis ..... oh wait ........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaka Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 Its a pity they are all under contract and would cost transfer fees but theres a fair few good young Scottish players coming through the Championship. Thomas O'Ware & Jai Quitongo at Morton, Craig Sibbald at Falkirk and Stevie Mallan & Lewis Morgan at St Midden amongst others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeboy Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 O'Ware is on double figures goals-wise, not often you see that for a centre half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dezz Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 There's a bit of chat over in P&B from a St Johnstone fan about us being interested in Alan Mannus who's fallen behind Zander Clark at Mcdiarmid Park. As mentioned on that thread it would make sense. He'll be wanting first team football at 34 and Robbo is likely to be aware of him through the NI squads. Good keeper for our level and definitely an improvement on Samson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one m in motherwell Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Were we not in for him years ago, perhaps before he went to St Johnstone? Wouldn't be a bad should at all, always been a solid stopper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermarv Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 TBH id prefers good loan player than an old backup for other clubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Mannus is a very good goalkeeper and would be an improvement on what we currently have in our side. I will be very disappointed if we go into 2017/2018 season with Samson as number one, despite an improvement in performance since the turn of the year.

Del_Superwell Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 On the basis of some of the players in the championship listed further up on the comments there's a few who could definitely step up and do a job for us. I've also been impressed by the Falkirk left back Luke Leahy who i seem to remember impressed during the play off's last year and can get the odd goal himself. I believe he's out of contract this summer, i reckon could be a better option than Chalmers if we signed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Were we not in for him years ago, perhaps before he went to St Johnstone? Wouldn't be a bad should at all, always been a solid stopper. Yes we were, Terry Butcher brought him to Fir Park for a trial but thats as far as it got. Not a bad goalie.

weeyin Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 I've always felt that if we are taking players on loan, keeper is the prime position to fill with a loanee. I think because they are least likely to be sold on for a profit. As always, however, it boils down to how many positions we need to fill, what our budget is, and who's available.

davkel Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Funny how people see things differently . .as I have said before , I work along with one of the St.Johnstone players father and Mannus has been the topic of conversation on many occasions and all about how poor he is . My workmate goes to all their games and he had been saying how poor he was from the start of the season until they finally binned him for Clark . The biggest problem seems to be that he will not leave his line at all or catch anything, preferring to punch everything . .remind you of anyone ? ? ? They have been glad to see him out the side and that is not just from the supporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
