Derry Alli Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Yikes, for every bit a decent signing Robinson looks Alston negates that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sortmeout Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Don’t have a huge issue with the Alston signing. I’m sure TW is not signing him just for him to put the cones out but I do think that it’s a signing that will be to help set out what Wright expects from his team and to help with the general atmosphere at the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armstrong and Murray are firmly championship players but Alston should be a cut above in this division I've no issue with TW getting capable bodies in the door early, especially given that we basically don't have any players left. Hopefully we'll be working on deals for bigger names towards the end of the window. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed.... though Paul Stephenson knows him from his time at Blyth Spartans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C4mmy31 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 1 hour ago, ATLIS said: His agent mucked him about with us, telling him folk were on triple his wages when it was nowhere near true. He stormed out the stadium after getting subbed off against Rangers and didn't play after that so obvious attitude issues as well. I don't think you'd find many Livi fans gutted about him being off but if he gets a run off games he should be an okay Championship level player. That'll be why he signed for Superior Sports management today as well ..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smpar Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Lafferty, Kiltie, Broadfoot and Pinnock all away. I’m assuming they were offered a contract? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 We explicitly said we offered Lafferty, Kiltie and Pinnock something, while for Broadfoot it said something like "he is considering his future". A shame about Kiltie going (I think to St Johnstone), and Lafferty was very expected. Pinnock would have done a job, but Broadfoot leaving is good because I think we need a fresh start in terms of the "leaders" of the squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d assume he’s coming in to play the Wotherspoon role in our team as we have no back up when he’s unavailable. Neat and tidy on the ball, with a bit of skill and a goal or two in him from what I remember seeing. Sort of guy I’m happy for saints to be linked with, especially since he’s still not that old and a fresh start might kick him on another level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Very similar to Wotherspoon I'd say. Really talented player, but a bit slow and can sometimes struggle to impose himself on games. Definitely capable at this level though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C4mmy31 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Kiltie could be heading down South.... he's put his place up for rent and his Mrs wants to move down there to be closer to her business contacts.... so i've heard anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Mirren have definitely spoken to Kiltie and discussed terms but Bolton and Doncaster are also in for him.....I'd think it's likely St Johnstone will have spoken to him too.
