His kicking was suspect today.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re not all going to work but good chance of finding a gem or two Aye at least there's an unknown element to it. I mean we're probably getting relegated either way but a lucky dip box on the way to that is more exciting to me than going down with the likes of Ricki Lamie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJFCtheTeamForMe Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Not sure staying up on goal difference is something that can be used as evidence those questioning the team last season were wrong. Saints were absolutely shite far too often last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Posted July 6 Author Share Posted July 6 (edited) There's confirmation in the courier that the take over deal will be completed early next week. Wonder if the fact we're suddenly signing players is tied, or if Levein has just been patiently working in the background and it's just taken time to get the players in and that's just a coincidence. Either way, really exciting times for Saints and a sad day at the same time. I was born a month after Geoff took over the club so it will be strange to not see him involved in one way or another, but it's definitely the right time for fresh blood.

A lot to be worried about but my biggest concern is level of signing in January . A real feel of "f**k it, let's have a punt" about them. Still have this nagging feeling about some of the signings. Levein made an early comment not being in the same market he was in at Hearts and having "to think differently" and I worry about going too far down that road although the Cameron signing gives a bit of a sign of the understanding the need to balance the two. The signings from January have suggested that there should be a bit of faith for now though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post tree house tam Posted July 7 Popular Post Share Posted July 7 The signing of the likes of Essel are the types good European clubs have been doing for years. Captain of Ghanas U20s, raw but with all the attributes to succeed, totally worth a punt. I know we have to balance the signings and we couldn't have a side full of them but give me that type over McPherson any day. Remember when we came up against an 18 year old Liberian in Europe and he ran the show? Untapped market for Saints and one I'd be more than happy for them to go down. 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 I think we're pretty decently set for being able to switch between set ups too. Maybe another CB and LB short in terms of numbers, without looking at quality? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radford Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 (edited) Only the second occasion I can remember an opposition player being applauded off, the other was Gary McAllister after he can the show in Roddy Grant's testimonial, so very different circumstances. Dorley was very strongly linked with Man City a couple of years ago. Edited July 7 by Radford 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted July 7 Author Share Posted July 7 Dorley and Maximov were ridiculously good. That Trakai team were a great watch, even if they did pump us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 We'll definitely need a first choice LB still, IMO. Raymond one I'm not really sure about while watching and struggling a bit to see much beyond him being a relatively good 1v1 wing back going forward. Would think they'll see hints of things that can be easily improved that I cant though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said I could be wrong as often with friendly matches my attention can drift from the game due to all the subs coming and going. www.youtube.com/@DerekTaylor84 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
