ZingaliMan Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 (edited) Saints took a Scottish Government loan of 1.764 million to be paid back on equal monthly payments till 2042 Only Ross County and Hamilton took less. Celtic was the only club not to take a loan out. Edited June 21, 2021 by ZingaliMan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame we still can't compete with United's magic money tree, but I'm comfortable with how things are going. If the season started tomorrow and this was our line up (in Jim's preferred formation) then I don't think we could have too many complaints. Better balance to the defence with left-footers in there now. Shame Flynn isn't five years younger as I'd take a young Flynn and Power as a middle two every day of the week: ------------------------------ Alnwick ------------- McCarthy - Shaughnessy - Dunne -------------- -- Fraser/Tait --------- Power - Erhahon ---------- Tanser -------------------------- McGrath/Kiltie -------------------------- Brophy - Main Edit: Power confirmed Edited June 21, 2021 by Coventry Saint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a no-brainer. £2M interest free over 20 years is repayments of only £100k pa or £2k per week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would usually be astonished if that Tory right wing gutter rag printed anything, with an ounce of truth in it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Does Erhahon have the "legs" for that? In terms of on the ball stuff. He comes out really, really, badly as a CM who is able to move the ball around the park individually. Its not a death knell for him as anything, but in my stupid system the lower tiers are littered with technically sound players who can't cope in the top flight because they cant run with the ball, as weird as that sounds. Seems to be a trend and he doesn't fit in it where you'd want him to. Thats without watching any real amount of him, but I'm not sure where he fits in a top flight midfield.He's not really the ball carrying type from what I've seen of him. More of a spoiler who can break up play and do a simple pass, he tried to add in the odd through the eye of a needle attacking pass, if he can do that more and learn to track his runners (may have to do that more when playing beside Power who won't have JDH's speed or as much energy) he may get a decent move but for just now he's definitely a work in progress. Given that we've lost/released at least six players, if Power signs, we'll really only have room for one more. Two at a push. Despite tear stained claims elsewhere, we'll be balancing the books as we always do.With Connolly signing elsewhere and JDH not signing does that free up anything or have we blown that all on Brophy [emoji16]. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulysses Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I reckon we’ll bring in one more - a winger/wide midfielder - and that’ll be us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZingaliMan Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Maybe I'm wrong but I would think the club will be looking to see how many season tickets will be sold that's what goes to the playing budget. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djchapsticks Posted June 21, 2021 Author Share Posted June 21, 2021 1 hour ago, AW saint said: I think another 2 at least Definitely 2-3 more. Goodwin was saying that we'd be getting two more in before we lost Conolly and presumably JDH. So Power's addition leaves potentially 3 spaces. Though I'd be happy with a winger and centre forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coooombe Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Power will be really, really good for you if paired with someone tasked with sitting in front of the defence, allowing him to go charging about winning the ball back. If he's played beside someone who isn't disciplined though you'll find yourself without a centre midfield quite regularly. He was our man of the match just about every week when he was in there with Dicker (when Dicker was any good). When he played with Tshibola though we haemorrhaged chances through the middle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's weird, I genuinely thought he'd be the guy sitting. To be fair, Jim loves that solid platform of two so maybe it'll work ok. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
