Stu Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Our website said it was an option to buy, the Rangers one said it was a loan that would become a permanent transfer. No idea which is right. Seems a weird one to sign on loan when you've already agreed to take him permanently as you surely bring him in for a bit to get a look at him. The fact Foley seemed to be preferred at centre half when Shaughnessy was unavailable does not bode well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthBank Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 When we signed Finlayson Goody said he was one for the future and the reserves for now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Just when I thought I’d seen it all as a St Mirren fan. The highs, the lows, the cup wins, the losses.... never ever thought I’d see the day when we might sell some talented players without me even see them kick a single ball in anger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More moving the ball quicker, etc. After all the stomping around with Magennis being sold, are we a better team for it by “replacing” him with JDH? Absolutely Magennis always did flatter to deceive, a good player but JDH is a better player IM not so HO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted December 23, 2020 Author Share Posted December 23, 2020 2 hours ago, jaybeee said: Absolutely Magennis always did flatter to deceive, a good player but JDH is a better player IM not so HO Think it was a question of where he was played. Magennis was excellent under Kearney because he was in that sort of, almost number 10 role. Under Goodwin he was expected to be more of a complete box to box type player and the defensive side of the game definitely didn't suit him. He's still a big loss and losing him most definitely weakened our squad but going purely on current form of our midfielders and what we expect those in the middle of the park to do, I'd struggle to see a place for him. Part of that is down to Kyle's lack of versatility as a player, I guess. Stevie Mallan struggled in the exact same way for us for a long time when he was expected to play the combative all-action centre mid and that 100% didn't suit him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you add in Kyle's injury problems. Rarely managed 30 games a season iirc. Got a brilliant move and we have a brilliant replacement. Good deal all round I'd say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mordecai Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I admire those who have the unwavering will for Morias (particularly @Coventry Saint who must have shares in him) to do well, but he's not good enough. He puts in plenty of effort, which will get you so far (especially with our support), but he's not a striker and certainly not a winger.I'd love for him to prove me wrong and score/assist a load of goals, but I can't see it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think he has his uses, but he's certainly not good enough for where we aspire to be in the table. As is so often the case, if you combine two of our players, you'd have an absolute baller on your hands. Imagine taking McAllister's technique and vision and combining it with Morias's application, pace and physicality. Anyway... Came here to say we're only one win shy of last season's tally, having played 13 games fewer. Assuming this season gets finished, you'd have to say we'll be on for our best top flight finish in a generation. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morias does a lot of things right. Occasionally can hit a screamer towards goal, is a pest, is physical, hard to play against. But he never looks up and all his crosses need air traffic control clearance as they clear the box. No composure at all. Want to like him but too many deficiencies. Cut him loose. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
