Lennon has said he wants pre-season to give players a chance to prove themselves so if Carmichael does leave on loan/permanent then it won't be any time soon.
A) joining the Scottish cup winners after spending the season at the Scottish cup runners up wouldn't be a step down m8 and B )no one said they wanted him. I said he'd been linked which he had.
He looked decent for us the first few games of last season. Puts himself about well enough. Apparently impressed at Forfar too. No idea if there's any truth in this just something I've heard and wondered if anyone else had.
Only ever been to Maribor in 2010 in a European tie. Was at Bolton pre-season a few years back too. Defo want to try and get to the away leg this time assuming it's not in Russia or anywhere like that.
St.Johnstone have always been in the shadows of their tayside rivals Dundee and Dundee United. I'd imagine you're like an adopted Wee brother to them who they acknowledge but don't take seriously at all.
