As I said, they've got to learn about the big bad world out there. They'll now know that everything has a cost, even lunches, how to contact Saints wages department, all about how tax and national insurance works and about how tight our chairman is. Great learning curve for the laddies when they get punted in a years time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very dry, Mr Treehouse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think it's a disgrace we let these guys go and would absolutely win the league with the following team...

Surely if 20 of us are willing to chip in to buy his lunch for £1 each then we could actually complete this one? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Saints Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I’m off to stick a tenner on Dundee signing Jason Holt on a permanent deal by the end of the day. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JockyPeebles Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Nine days left but if Bullet Proof only in Tuesday Friday three days left just hope Pogba has his mobile on those days, maybe we send letters without a stamp to players we hope to sign with an unsigned cheque inside. This club has about as much future as a doggie paddler in a tsunami! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted August 21, 2019 Author Share Posted August 21, 2019 Jason Holt is exactly the kind of midfielder we need imo. Tempted to avatar him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelsjfc Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 If we signed Holt and a striker by the end of the window I'd be happy even if the squad lacks a bit of depth. Need a bit of luck on the injury front this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Hes good on the ball, and should help us keep possession etc. but is he any use at winning the ball back/protecting the defence? Genuinely cant remember that side of him at all either way tbh, always assumed he was further towards the attacking end of the midfielder spectrum, but that's just my opinion based on memory. Would accept a loan as hes available next Summer if things go well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Saints Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 During this period of sheer desperation for a midfielder and a striker, let's not forget that we only have one left-back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really struggles to get power on passes/shots over a decent distance due to his diminutive size so raking through balls aren't part of his arsenal. He will work extremely hard for you and get around the pitch well so if you are looking for someone more defensive he can do that role better than an attacking midfield role. EDIT: Goss and Holt played a fair bit together in the same side. Goss was a shitebag for us, don't know if that is the case for you, but that's exactly what Holt isn't.

tree house tam Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) Sean Goss kept Holt out of the Rangers side........ f**k knows if that's true but I'll throw it in anyway. ^^^that was done before the *** edited his post.

Just my opinion but we need someone to take the ball off the defenders, and try and get the ball to our wingers in the final third, as just now nobody shows for it in midfield and it just gets humped forward to nobody. Our midfield evaporates when countered on, so someone able to cover that area of the park and stop folk getting a clear run at defenders would be helpful too. And yes, not being a fucking shitebag would help. My memory of Goss was him attempting pinged passes and over hitting them constantly, and lunging into tackles like a fanny and getting booked rather than tracking the man and trying to out muscle them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPerth Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 This was the email from the chairman a couple of days ago. Would be interested to hear by how many/ what percentage up our season ticket sales are. Any ideas @perthsaint1977 ? If I win this then I think it's a brilliantly initiative. The Club is delighted to announce that Season Ticket sales for the 2019/20 season have surpassed last year’s total and we’d like to thank all of our new and returning fans for their support for the season ahead. Our new eTicketing system is now fully up and running and one of the many benefits is that it allows us to interact much better with our core Season Ticket holder database. As a big thank you to our loyal Season Ticket holders, and to celebrate and welcome our newest ones, we will be randomly selecting a Season Ticket holder before each home match of the 2019/20 season to come along and enjoy full hospitality along with three friends at McDiarmid Park, FREE! That’s right - it’s on us! This starts from our next home match against Kilmarnock on Saturday 31st August (kick-off 3PM). Normal sale price of full hospitality for four people is between £600 for a category C game and £890 for a category A game! You will join us for our award-winning matchday hospitality package which includes: A delicious four-course-meal for four people An all inclusive drinks package Matchday tickets with executive padded seating A free match programme and teamsheet Half-time tea, coffee & snacks Visits from the players and directors for a post-match chat A free bar after the game for one hour We will aim to inform the winning Season Ticket holder a couple of weeks prior to the game to allow you the chance to organise your guests. The prize will only be useable for the allocated game and will not be transferrable or redeemable for cash. We will announce our first lucky winner tomorrow. This is only available for Season Ticket holders aged 18 and over. Good luck! Board of Directors St. Johnstone Football Club 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
