tlg1903 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 About half way through the season I thought Robson was done. Past few months he has done enough to convince me otherwise, shrewd move keeping him on another season imo. It's not like his game has ever been based on pace and, as I understand it, he's still one of the top performers in the squad at fitness tests. Given that combined with Anderson retiring and moving to the business side of the club robson's experience is even more valuable to the squad. You could argue it would be negligent to not offer him another year come to think of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gkneil Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I think Joe will do fine at St Johnstone (or wherever he ends up). Fairly solid in the air and though he does need to bulk up a bit I'd expect him to get a game. Don't think its worth playing him at RB, better just to put him at CB and leave him there. Robertson is utter p!sh. Hibs would do very well to stay clear. I'm happy to have Robson for another year to keep some experience in the side and have cover at CM. We don't know whats going to happen with Jack yet so keeping Robson another year is probably sensible planning. Keen to see Rodgers get a shot in goal in the friendlies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Bear in mind we have the third best defence in the league at the moment. Anderson has nailed on the right centre back position and we've got Scobbie, McKay and potentially Frazer Wright already there. Not to say he wouldn't displace someone in our back 4, but he certainly wouldn't just be walking into our team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BucksburnDandy Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Ryan Jack has penned a year's extension until 2017 You dancer! Totally unexpected but very pleasing. Now, let's get someone more capable of starting attacks than Willo to sit beside him in midfield and things could look very good for next season. Brilliant news, that was a real worry losing Jacko. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lubo_blaha Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Great to see he's extended his deal. Doubt we'll see another midfielder come in now. Jack, Flood, McLean, Robson, Smith, Pawlett, Hayes and now Shinnie are all capable of playing there and I can't see any of them leaving any time soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lubo_blaha Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I'm not too sure you've got the right Shinnie in that write up there Lubo. I do realise we have signed Graeme Shinnie, who usually plays full back, and not his brother, Andrew Shinnie, who is a midfielder. Graeme has played in midfield for Inverness before and there has been a lot of speculation that he may play there for the Dons due to the good form of Andy Considine at left back this season and the rumours regarding Ryan Jack leaving the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BucksburnDandy Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Joe Shaughnessy has signed a 2 year deal at St Johnstone this afternoon. Fairly decent signing for both Shaughnessy and the Saints. Wish him all the best in Perth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
