roman_bairn Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Only at Falkirk could we have a ludicrous situation like this. Striker coming towards the end of his career whose not good enough to get you up or a striker at his peak who will score enough goals to punt you into the top flight. Its ridiculous if true that our whole season could rely on whether Baird fancies it at ICT or not. I thought I'd seen it all at Falkirk but this really puts the tin feckin lid on it. Get Baird to feck now if there's even a small chance of Loy coming in to replace him. You appear to be seething here....yet, like just about everything here just now, it's all just speculation.[emoji16] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did state its ridiculous if true. The fact that we're into June and yet Baird is still on the books is farcical anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roman_bairn Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 I did state its ridiculous if true. The fact that we're into June and yet Baird is still on the books is farcical anyway. Why? Every player out there will want to weigh up their options before deciding where to move or indeed to stay.If, as has been suggested, we have made him an offer, there is no definite action for the club to take just now other than to monitor alternative striker options should they be needed.Also Loy was great when he was here but there's an awful lot of pinning of hopes that he will be better than we have. Whilst I agree Baird is possibly not the answer, I am not sure blowing the budget for Loy is either. I'd rather have Dobbie for that money if it was possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I agree Baird is possibly not the answer, I am not sure blowing the budget for Loy is either. I'd rather have Dobbie for that money if it was possible. He's simply not good enough if we want to go up its as simple as that. It should have been made clear to him at the end of last season that he was surplus to requirements and he could find another club. If we're left with him as one of our starting strikers you can forget going up again this season. I can assure you that Loy is a far better striker than anything we have currently especially John Baird and he is only what 27? Dobbie is not going to come to us. First of all he's at queens because he has a fondness for the club and is under contract for another season. If he left there I'm sure he'd have interest from top flight clubs and anyway we couldnt afford a transfer fee for him. Loy and Austin would complement each other well and I very much doubt we'd be blowing the budget on the former. To win the league we need a better quality of player. We cant just keep putting out the same team and expecting we're suddenly going to be good enough to get promoted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roman_bairn Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Though for moment Loy had just signed but really pleased for Miller and Kerr who have been good servants at the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's an improvement on McHugh who's only one confirmed to be leaving just now so I see that as a massive upgrade tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggie Perrin Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 If Loy did sign it would be great business for us and an almighty boot in the plums for St Mirren. Make it happen and I will drive Baird to Inverness myself and throw in breakfast at the Bruar cafe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Sounds like yer man Big Sexy will primarily be a coach, would like to think we'll see one forward at least on the way in even if Baird stays. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was excellent at centre mid .We need to sign a decent right winger. In the middle we already have Craigen, McKee, Kerr and Taiwo. If Sibbalds signs that would mean 5 centre mids which is more than enough. In fact 4 is more than enough. We have a player already that can play wide right. Shepherd ! worth a run 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
