It’s a legitimate criticism of McGrath that his numbers from open play aren’t very good. I think some of that can be mitigated by St Mirren being a particularly unadventurous side in the first half of the season though. The lack of production probably stops him getting a move to a (smart) team in England. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smart move by St Mirren. Stealing cast offs from the top 6 will help them close that gap and push themselves closer to achieving that goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share Posted April 28, 2021 O'Halloran of 4-5 years ago, definitely. His injury woes have definitely taken their toll though and unreal that he's now 30. I had him pegged as 26 or 27. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure he's got the two goals in him across the season that we'd need to bridge the chasm, sadly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tree house tam Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Mikey is great at running in straight lines, playing football? Not so much. He's also one of our highest earners with little in the way of contribution, he might just need a fresh start but it wouldn't be the worst signing St Mirren could make. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That surname of his is sufficient to qualify to play for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly earth shattering for a player about to turn 25. I think he'd do better in a team with better attackers. Had the sense all season that something wasn't quite clicking. He's clearly a great player - brilliant on the ball, can beat a man, good in tight spaces, eye for a pass - but I don't think we've got the best out of him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bgsaint Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I think the goal he scored against Hamilton in the cup highlighted his potential to go further, not many players in this league have the intelligence and ability to score goals like that. No thanks to O’Hallaron rather keep Durmus, but would take Kane, if only to stop him scoring against us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share Posted April 28, 2021 Durmus > O'Halloran. If we can keep hold of Durmus I'd hope we'd be looking at someone of similar or higher quality. For that reason, I'm a pass on Mikey. At this point in proceedings, he'd be a Gregg Wylde type signing. Played for Rangers at one point, used to be decent but just runs fast and in straight lines now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no doubt he's an above average Scottish league player and will aim higher than Aberdeen etc., but the "£3m" price tag is laughable and I'm just picking holes in it, tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane is one of those players who folk will get on his back for not scoring loads of goals but when he's not playing, your forward line is worse off for it. Is he out of contract? I've always liked him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a good signing for you then. Never going to be prolific but he's a worker. Billy Mehmet played a similar role for us albeit more of a target man, he'd link play up, bring midfielders into the game, provided fantastic foil for late Andy Dorman runs even though he himself was only good for 5-8 league goals a season. But when he was out the side and someone like Jim Hamilton or Dennis Wyness was on in his place, you fucking noticed the difference.
