The fact that people weren't exactly rushing out to buy season tickets when he signed says it all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 All 4 of them would get into the Falkirk side faf Scobbie next to Grant definitely, Fyvie probably starts in central midfield, Flood got bitched by Kerr twice in the playoffs and looks like a broken down old man, and Murdoch is hopeless. Keatings would've been a good signing and I'd probably have taken King over Harris. United have signed the best of the four sides the bookies have as favourites but they're not ground breaking. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Scobbie was comfortably playing for the team who finished fourth last season, and we offered him a new deal. He'd walk into any Championship defence easily 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With him scobbie and the two centre halfs it will undoubtedly be the slowest defence in scottish football. Durnan has his flaws but he is far from the slowest centre half around. Comfortably the quickest of our three when he was with us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 He started 18 games. Yup. He was injured for three months of the season though. He played 8 of our last 10 matches, and we only conceded six goals in that time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widge Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 That happens a lot at St Johnstone though, does it not? Not really. But we offer lower wages with high incentive bonuses. Basically our chairman wanted to force Wrights hand into giving the various youngsters who are highly thought of a chance rather than an aging Scobbie. Which I'm all for actually, he's solid, but he's never going to improve or earn us money in the future, the young guys have shown they can cope and might. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) Tam was ok at centre half but too slow to play left back the last time he played for us so god knows what his pace is like now. He offers absolutely nothing going forward in that position either. I certainly wouldn't have him instead of Gallacher.

Scobbie seems nowadays to pick up injuries here and there, he's a centre half playing left back which is no good to us and as much as I had a soft spot for him, I'd not be overly keen for us to sign him. Fyvie is energetic, that's about it, his passing is worse than Taiwos, gets a nosebleed in the last third and Kerr's shooting is better !!!...nah for me Murdoch maybe made a poor move away from us but at right back, see Scobbie at left back but change to midfielder. He is also another with niggly injuries. Keatings is one of those enigma players, can do it but doesn't often enough. King hasn't kicked a ball since Hearts promotion season. Unless they get a tune out of Keatings, I don't particularly fear the utd signings 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Don't think folk would disagree that Flood isn't exactly great. He'd still not be "nowhere near" your midfield though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be exactly the kind of signing that would see Shadwell's cat head for the hills! -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kerr will drop down the pecking order, probably craigan, Taiwo, Sibbs, McKee all infront of him. with that point, considering Kerr far outperformed Flood, it's fairly evident he would be 'nowhere near' our centre 2 in midfield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
