Ludo*1 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Speak for yourselves you penniless gutter-wanks. I'm glad you're able to beat us to signings such as Denny Johnstone tbh. Keep up the good work. Thanks lads. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks lads. Low blow, Ludo. No need. If football was scored like golf, you'd absolutely ducking annihilate us every year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on then those ITK, if the deal is dead time to tell us what we could of won and put this omnishambles of a clusterfuck to bed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 If it's Hemmings, he was never available. 6 clubs including ourselves went for him but he had absolutely zero interest in coming back to Scotland. I've no idea who it was tbh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Heliums Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 1 minute ago, RandomGuy. said: I've no idea who it was tbh It's a messy signing at best only because it contradicts what Tommy said just last week about any new arrivals adding to the first team immediately. Even the most supportive can't believe that Denny Johnstone – a player who can't hold down a first team place at Colchester – will do that. I can understand the logic of signing him purely on the basis that we're weak up front and we missed out on our main target. But then that approach flies in the face of extending Chris Kane's contract and then loaning him out. God knows what he thinks of this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 God knows what he thinks of this. Its barely been a week since TW said he thought Hendry and Kane were at the same level, so loaning Kane out didn't weaken the squad. It's a bizarre approach to Kane, and not one I'd particularly agree with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tree house tam Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Kane, Hendry and Johnstone will amount to no better than say a Higginbotham level of player. Bookmark this. If St Johnstone want to maintain the customary 4th place over the next few seasons we need to find someone better IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy Jenkins Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Still not seen this announced through official channels, is it to much to hope for that its complete nonsense and we are still mining a jewel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Wrongun Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I think we just have to except that this is how a club should be run now. Loaning out younger players has worked for us very well and the last signings i got excited about seem a long time ago now yet we have a few heroes from the meh signings. In tommy we trust 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted August 24, 2017 Author Share Posted August 24, 2017 Tommy's confirmed we're just waiting on international clearance before announcing Denny Johnstone has signed on loan.He trained with us this morning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 The revisionism about our signings the past few seasons is incredible, apparently weve not made a decent signing for about four years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure it's incredible, though I'm not clear if we're talking about 'exciting' signings or 'good' signings. In the last four years (excluding short-term loans) I'd say only Swanson fits both descriptions comfortably. As for the rest, Scougall was ambitious; we'll see how good he is. Shaughnessy, Foster have been unexciting but better than expected, (we'll excuse Foster this season so far, and even then, is there an argument that they're not quite as good as their predecessors?) Alston, promising signing, but hasn't quite lived up to expectations. Craig, Paton, unexciting if workmanlike. The obvious duds who fail both tests are Watson, Cummins, McKay, Coulson, Sutton etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
