Yoss Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Supposedly we did try to sign him last season, yeah. I quite like him, actually, in a big-clumsy-c**t sort of way. He's a bit more like the kind of forward we're missing, anyhow, if we do need another one at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Were we not priced out of the move when he went to Morton? I'm sure that was the deal that gave us the latest in a long line of 'other clubs have bigger budgets than us' articles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly knows where the back of the net is! a positive signing, coupled with the upcoming confirmation that Skacel has signed as well. All but 5 of those goals came when Morton won League One. I could cynically say he's still unproven at this level, but he did look fairly decent against us at Cappielow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.R.FC Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 (edited) Would be a lot happier with McManus than Harry, not sure if that just says more about my opinion on Harry though. Remember McManus scoring against us at Starks last year, also remember him missing a rake of chances in that game too. Jury is out for me but my gut says he is an overall upgrade on Stewart and Osei (although he's a different type of striker to both).

McG Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 You are correct. Ray tried to sign him in January but he decided to sign for Morton probably because he was already a hero there.. So much for Hardie going back to raith, he will be alex rae's next signing.McManus is dreadful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 So much for Hardie going back to raith, he will be alex rae's next signing.McManus is dreadful. If what's being said is true Rangers want Hardie's wages paid in full. Can St Mirren afford that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I'd probably rather we signed Harry again than McManus. He was hopeless with Morton last season and seemed to have a bit of a poor attitude. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caskie Rover Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Actually quite please with this double signing, Rudi will either be a cult hero or another Jon Daly and McManus may well be the 15 goals a season player we desperately need! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't be a striker.. Unfortunately this now looks to be correct. It was almost a cert that Hardie was on his way but Quinn being out with a suspected broken ankle has forced our hand in that regard so we'll probably be in for a central mid. Unless we can shift one or two young lads out on loan but even then I fail to see how that will free up enough. I wouldn't imagine Hardie will be on a great amount at Rangers and as such would certainly be affordable if he was our only target. Unfortunately he's now a luxury and a central mid will probably be a necessity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Blue Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Disappointed that Mcmanus has signed for Raith as we were allegedly in for him as well. If he's played up front and gets the right service I'd imagine he'll get you 10 -15 goals over the season. He also works hard for the team but is prone to daft bookings. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostZapper Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 We got the ball into some good positions on Tuesday - just lacked that poacher to put the ball away - hopefully McManus can do that for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ding Dang Doo Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Very happy if we sign McManus. Always thought he was a very decent player and will score goals at this level. If I'm being honest the only signing I'm sceptical about (and very at that) is Skacel but I'm happy with all other's. If we can get Robertson and Barr back fit and M'voto up to speed I actually like the look of our squad. A good blend of youth and experience and a lot of pace about it. Also happy to hear Locke being so honest about the matches so far. We have to remember that if these 2 signings happen today that's 10 new players into the squad so far which is far more than any of us really expected at the end of last season. A few are young and all will need time to gel in. Plus Vaughan is playing for the first time in a year. I'm confident things will come together given time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can never win with some people I'm reasonably sure that I wasn't. Or not at this stage of the season, anyway. (Come January it was obvious we were short of forwards, but that's because we had, like, one.) Anyway, not complaining either. Just a bit surprised. I guess I got used to the McGlynn / Murray method of starting the season with a small squad and then bringing in loanees once it became evident where we needed them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branch Ton Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 He has disappeared from the Fleetwood website but no mention on a move. Looks like a transfer with maybe a fee involved rather than a loan move, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
