MacLean just hasn't did enough for me in his time here. Unless he can make a telling contribution in the remaining months of the season he's one that can go in the summer with quite a few others.
Still 1 loan left from a Scottish club, looking like one or two away this week, probably Tidser and McShane. McCracken seems keen to try n keep Longridge the way he spoke after the match.
Good player. Attacking mid and can play wide. Not sure we needed another in that area though, unless there is one or two going out. Surely signals the end for Longridge and or Tidser/McShane.
Ask Tidser. I actually thought he was a superb addition when we signed him. I still believe he's a lot more in his locker than he has shown, there is definitely a player there but for all parties it's maybe best he moves, Gomis runs midfield.
Tbh I'm a bit meh if he re signs or not. He's hit n miss, probably been one one of our most creative players when he fancies it. But that's just it, he's more miss than hit.
I'm beginning to think the longer it drags on that Longridge will be away, I think Di Vita signing was with this in mind and not just because Longridge was injured. He'd have signed by now if the terms were favourable injured or not.
Watching McShane play makes you wonder how he was a top flight player, although he did have some decent players around him at St. Mirren like Mallan, Magennis, McLean, McGinn, Morgan, Cammy Smith. Probably did a lot to cover up his deficiencies.
McManus is very good at this level, whether he is as good in the championship remains to be seen. All that matters currently is he stays till end of the season. Lose him this month then it will be extremely difficult to get a decent replacement. As you can't see McMillan and in particular Sammon stepping up to the plate. I'd even let Sammon go if it meant keeping McManus permanently.
