Radford Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Jamie MacDonald is a good, solid back-up goalie and, despite what the manager is saying, would mean Ross Sinclair is going to be number one. I can see why managers might not be keen on a player/coach in a goalkeeping role but it would have freed up budget if it was decided that Sinclair was going to get the nod.

An experienced keeper who can help out with Sinclair's development who can still play at a good standard. Maybe not inspiring, but I wouldn't have him as being worse than Matthews was, so that's a positive.

Youre looking almost solely at over 30s within Scottish football who wouldnt demand first team football, which feels a very tiny pool. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJFCtheTeamForMe Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Surely he'd jump at the chance of the likes of a 2 year deal at a full time level as well. Experienced and that kind of signing has worked very well overall for us in the past when called upon. Likewise I don't know how he's performing these days but in his earlier years was surprised he wasn't playing at Premiership level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the impression that Macca is building a reliable squad, not a mega exciting squad.

Hawkeye the Gnu Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Jamie MacDonald may not be a great goalie, but he’s solid and steady, a great influence in the dressing room and a genuinely nice guy. You could do worse for back up.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theyellowbox Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 MacDonald is fine as a backup on the assumption Sinclair will be number one. Jumping ahead, but, if Sinclair is successful, given his age etc, it's possible he'd be away in a year or two, so do Saints have equally capable up coming keepers behind him or would it leave us an issue of too big a gap to the next through the system and a too old MacDonald? We left too big a gap between Zander and Sinclair, hence the Matthews loan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 MacDonald was in The Courier the other week saying he still wants to be a number 1. To the point he was asked if he'd consider coaching and he said no, because he still wants to play regularly and doesn't want to accept being a second choice keeper. He was offered a new deal at Raith and turned them down. I'd be surprised if he's not looking to join you with the intention that he'd be number 1 which isn't a bad thing as long as it's only him that's thinking that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
