If we were them we wouldn't be walking away without having this years salary honoured fully! Loans for all 3? Can see there being interest at full time level still for McGowan. Crawford might get a Airdrie or Cove type full time offer? Not sure clubs will be queuing up to pay much of Booth's wage after his injuries. Think McGowan we can maybe get away without paying anything, he'll get decent offers. Booth i dunno, probably well regarded by Championship sides but then injuries might harm his chances. Zero chance we escape from.Crawford without giving him either a lump sum or paying some wages for the next year. Not a clue who'll even want him either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted August 31, 2023 Author Share Posted August 31, 2023 All well and good saying they're free to go, but who's taking Crawford and Booth? Booth is a good player when he's fit, but he's not been fit for about 18 months now and Crawford is just dire and will be on a big wage. McGowan feels like an unfortunate victim of circumstance. Versatility is useful but he probably doesn't offer enough anywhere to get in ahead of the other options. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s his pre season looked like Nah hes fine, just needs a game or two to get sharp and youll have a top flight LB on your books. You should sign him today before others snap him up. But in all seriousness he played about 10 mins this season and then vanished with another injury. Our manager had a dig at players who were injured, insinuating some arent willing to work through pain, so this maybe suggests hes one whos now got some mental block about his own fitness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
double deluxe Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) Booth will be quite happy to sit on the last year of his contract and retire at the end of it considering what he has to fall back on after football, can’t see him leaving Edited August 31, 2023 by double deluxe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bonham Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 No idea what Hamilton’s situation is but I wonder if Crawford was ever interested in finishing his career where he had his best and longest spell in Scotland? No idea if they are still full time or not 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So not even been playing in the reserves or anything? Surely nobody would take him if it was as bad as that. I mentioned him on our thread about a week ago but didn’t realise he was so broken 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Saints Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Not sure I echo the opinions of any Saints fan who is shocked or outraged by the potential departure of Ryan McGowan. He has been decent enough. Nothing more, nothing less. Jack of all trades, master of none. If/when Sprangler signs, the midfield options are looking incredibly bloated and he's the most obvious candidate to move on. He seems like a good character to have around the club, however, so hopefully there's no detrimental impact in that sense. Booth isn't surprising, but thanks for the memories. Crawford, bye. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tree house tam Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 One things for sure Macca is certainly doing what's needed with the playing staff. Next summer eradicate the rest of Callums duds and I'll be happy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 McGowan will very much be a case of being pushed down the pecking order in all the positions he has played in over his time, and being of sufficient quality to actually pick up another club without too much of an issue. The other two are a much harder sell in terms of actually getting rid of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like that’s the two things he’s had operations for. No idea but would probably take a gamble on him, sure there are a few clubs in same boat though. Notice he’s got a good business outside of football so maybe a couple of nights a week and a Saturday would be ideal for him now. Suppose we will see tomorrow. Crawford has potential to be decent for someone in Championship just not us and McGowan would look like a good signing for anyone in the Championship 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
