Cheers, howfin journalism as usual though. Forrester? EXCLUSIVE: Johnstone signs for St Johnstone St Johnstone have signed Denny Johnstone on a year-long loan deal from Colchester United. We revealed yesterday Tommy Wright was interested in the former Celtic striker, who was also being eyed by Dundee. But Forrester has picked Perth and will add firepower Wright’s side was badly lacking. The McDiarmid boss had been eyeing Conor Sammon and Miles Storey but the attacking pair opted for Partick Thistle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Probably Harry Forrester, we can't even sign absolute nobodies without the Daily Record bringing it back to Rangers... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 Firepower we're badly lacking... Joint highest scorers in the league with 7 goals in our first 3 matches and the league's top scorer in our squad too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widge Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 So if it's a loan deal, that suggests we're still in for this mythical Jewel to me. Also makes me think we won't be getting them any time soon, so we needed another option as despite the praise, there's no way Hendry can be expected to step up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Have you said summer instead of season by accident? He signed a 2 year deal in 2016. I have yeah, expires 2018. Can see the logic in signing him on a years loan, with the potential of getting him for nothing next Summer (I'm aware he'll score 15 goals by January then sign a PCA with Hibs) tbh. In terms of a "panic" signing, it's not a bad one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of a "panic" signing, it's not a bad one. I kind of agree. As Widge notes above, I think this deal possibly suggests that we've got something else in the pipeline too. I can't see us taking on his full wage if it's a loan (maybe we can't afford if, seeing as they paid a fee for him last year). Guess we'll have to wait and see. If Watson and Millar leave, that may give Tommy the wiggle room required to bring in another player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saintee Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Prepared to give this lad a chance but it's pretty underwhelming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broon_100 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 1 hour ago, Widge said: Well you never qualified it hence my response, but I'll allow it to be central midfielders only from the league. Brown Armstrong Ntcham Bitton McGregor Shinnie Tansey McLean (despite what Aberdeen fans think) Dorrans Jack (he's a younger version of Millar) McGinn McGeouch Djoum Bannigan That's just off the top of my head. I like Millar, but I'd have all of the above ahead of him for sure and that's just the top 6 teams in the league. To be fair when you list them all out there are some decent players in the league. However, i still maintain that Millar keeps/wins possession better than most of them. Others on there provide more attacking threat fair enough. Not having the Aberdeen or Hibs lads as any better though, McGinn aside. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broon_100 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 So an on loan player from League 2 (which is a brutal standard, even compared to Scotland). On a positive he played well against us in the cup once. Hopefully us signing him is based on more than that. Welcome Denny Johnstone! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Saints Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Delighted with this signing. A fine acquisition. Very fine indeed. I couldn't be happier. Denny Johnstone is clearly the next big thing. Not gonna lie, I was expecting a bigger name. Got to be honest about that. Of course, our summer spending may not be over yet. Gonna keep very quiet about the name of our top target. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Man Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Here's RandomGuy's ITK opinion of Denny Johnstone when we were rumoured to be signing him last week: Johnstone is a massive huddy who'll run about barging into folk and not actually contributing much. Probably be useful for a team in the bottom half. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
