Onthefringes Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Sparing the fact that anyone will sign on again (Ainsworth, McDonald etc.), we need a minimum of 5 players coming in. More likely, with the amount of wages which have now been freed, we will be looking to bring in 9/10, players. 9/10 players? Not a chance. Already been said that he was operating with a squad too large - mind, that's different to having a squad with depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEWELL Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 I reckon about 9 players will be leaving so about 9 or 10 coming in isn't too unrealistic. Barraclough's got a summer of wheeling and dealing to get us ready and stronger for next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gullane Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 What's the contract situation with Johnston? Isn't he staying? He is the sort of signing IB needs to be making. We also need an on field leader - preferably an experienced centre back who can command those around him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelman1991 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Think it was a 2, maybe even a 3 year deal for Johnston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellfan1992 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 I think that we need a young but good reliable defender. Mcmanus can provide the experience in there A new keeper is a must Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Was hoping Erwin might sign one more deal, especially after we nursed him through his two bad injuries. However, it does seem that we'd get some decent money for him (and continue to do so for all future transfers). So it would be decent business, and an overdue success from our youth system. Would love to see Skippy join Pearson with a 2 year contract, but if he is settled in England, then I'm sure he won't be short of options closer to home.

mfc Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 we will be operating with a smaller squad next season compared to now so hopefully its quality over quantity were looking for,if we can unearth 1 or 2 gems like marvin johnson we'll be onto a winner.

Having said that what contribution have Vigurs, Lawson, McHugh and Cummins made this year? They would account for a few thousand pounds surely.

Frazzie Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 I think we could easily bring in a load of players without increasing the budget when you consider the kind of money Vigurs, Lawson, Sutton, etc will be on. Would like big Handsome to stay right enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxywell Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Was Connor Sammon not released recently? Could be a decent signing if Sutton goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelvinBragg Posted June 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Sutton is the difficult one. Over two periods with us, he has averaged a goal every three games. Seems insane to even consider not offering a new contract. Does he have limitations? Sure. But 13 goals this season in a poor team while not starting every week can't be ignored and isn't easy to replace. He's only 31 so have to figure he'll want first team football. I'd like him to stay but reckon we'll see him scoring goals (probably against us) for another SPL side next season... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like big Handsome to stay right enough. Got to agree, add McHugh, Carswell & Ramsden onto that who are all seemingly on a decent wage then I wouldn't be surprised if from Vigurs, Lawson, McHugh, Carswell, Ramsden, Sutton we would save £10-12k per week on wages easily. 3 or 4 replacing on similar wedge at £6-8k per week we are still saving a decent amount. These figures are just conjecture and guesswork but you get the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrosshillWell Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Next season might see Johnson on the right and Dom Thomas on the left. What frustrates me is that McMannus can play, as we saw in the last two games. Unfortunately his performance level is one of the reasons we were second bottom. Hopefully Leitch and Cadden can push on next season. Barraclough brought in Laing, Johnson and Grant last season and I'm sure he'll have identified some other talent. I'd love to see Laing sign up on a permanent deal. Moore will be in with a good chance next season is Erwin goes and I've heard the discussions with Leeds have been going on a while.

ropy Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 I didn't think Moore showed too much in his 10 minutes at Ibrox, but clean slate for everyone after a pre-season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MearnsWell Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Jim Goodwin may be a more defensive coaching appointment. Not a bad thing per se, particularly if Laing and/or OB re-sign. Not good news for Mick tho'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelman94 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Praying this Jim Goodwin story is nonsense, terrible footballer and I thought he was supposed to be in some sort of player/coach/mentor role for st mirren at the beginning of the season so that clearly failed.

Well-Made Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 I didn't think Moore showed too much in his 10 minutes at Ibrox, but clean slate for everyone after a pre-season. Think after the injury Craig has just come back from, we need to give him a chance to get a decent pre-season behind him and then see how things pan out for him.

Hopefully the rest is pish though as he doesn't exactly fit the "young player we can develop and sell for a profit" mould. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
