stuwell Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Not sure why, but I have more faith in McCall than I had in McGhee or Brown to bring in,players that will do a job... Kind of know what you mean Melv, I think its the fact that instead of spouting off in the papers about the amount of contacts he has and the type of players he's going to get in, SMcC appears to be quietly going about his business leaving the papers -and a few on here - to speculate on who he's trying to bring in. Obviously we won't know how sucessful this approach is until the transfer window closes but i think we'll see some (hopefully) good signings and possibly a loan deal over the next three weeks and a further couple of loans as the window closes.

Kmcalpin Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 While I might or might not agree with your assessment of where we're short, a bit of realism is required here. I'd describe your list as "what we'd like to see brought in" not as "needs". Three strikers would be excessive given we have Murphy who can play there. We have two players who are adequate SPL right backs. And I think every club in the SPL could do with the midfielder you described... Our budget will only stretch so far. We should be looking for players who can perform various roles, similar to Murphy, Gunning and Hateley... Well we've lost Sutton & Blackman/Jeffers - two first choice strikers and Casagolda who was brought in as back up. There's no indication yet that Bob McHugh or Gary Smith are ready to make the step up. Whilst we might have 2 adequate stand ins at right back we haven't had an out and out right back for a year or two and its shown. Lasley & Jennings are too similar in style and neither is able to back up our strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Hope there's truth in the Higdon rumour, it would be a great signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlay Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 If Randy leaves, I'd be happy with Hollis stepping up and then looking for a reserve keeper. Something tells me he is seen as a safe pair of hands when needed but not viewed as a number one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 +1. I'd be keechin' it if he was our Number 1. Really? From what I saw he didn't do much wrong and better than many we have had between the sticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haggischomper Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 True but his lack of experience would be a huge worry. Got no problem with him as a backup though - he did look good. Plenty other decent number 1's oiy there we could take I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiderpig Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Hope there's truth in the Higdon rumour, it would be a great signing. +1 have to agree with that big strong target man who scores a few goals, would be a good replacement for Sutton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motherwell89 Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 amount of goals we shipped will also probably put people off, doubt we will lose him in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12876_6962223,00.html Possible replacement for Randy?? A replacement for Randolph? Where's he going like? The last time I checked he was barely a year into a three year contract. I think your being a bit premature with that kind of chat.

Guest Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Would quite like to have Hughes back, but wouldn't touch Paterson. Guy did a great job in the 6 months before he left and got us Stevie Hammell back with the money from his transfer, but nah. No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finlay Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 I think most people are looking at Randolph as our biggest asset.....and we very rarely keep them for long. I've seen Hollis a couple of times and whilst a good shot stopper he doesn't command his area or have the physical presence of Ruddy or Randolph. Won't be our first choice (except during times of injury or suspension). The fact he hasn't had many matches in his career might make him feel he has to move on again. Personally, I hope he stays as back up for one more year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnstone Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Big Higdon would be a quality signing. BEEAASSSTT! He scares the shite out of most defenders in the SPL cos he is hard as fuck. Also is he not a scouser? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onthefringes Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Pursuit of a player doesn't mean 'in signing talks'... Appeasement of a disillusioned support methinks. Having spoke to him not so long ago, be surprised at a move to St Mirren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 I read that about three times before realising you weren't saying that St. Mirren could do better. Need to wake up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
