RandomGuy. Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Oh look at you, signing up your best players for multiple years while sitting in the top half, and planning for your European campaign already. Fucking pathetic. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the rumours initially broke I thought there was something in it as a few sensible-ish St Mirren fans seemed confident in more than just a wind-uppy way and there was nobody really denying it on our end. I was wondering if he'd maybe signed a PCA at St Mirren before he went on that mad run of form that piqued Hearts' interest and managed to get out of it. We'll probably never know. There was definitely interest. We wanted to take him in the January window and were soundly told to f**k off by Motherwell at which point I'm guessing we offered a deal which is when the rumours came out about it being agreed. Robinson added fuel to that fire when he said at a fan Q&A that two unnamed PCAs were 'agreed' and that's when the Spittal rumour really gathered pace. However, 'agreed' doesn't mean 'signed'. Interesting that Robinson later (just a couple of weeks ago) said they thought they had two incoming that were over the line but had been left disappointed. He didn't mention if it was the same two he'd earlier spoken about (as he never mentioned these agreed PCAs to the press) but most have assumed they are the same two people and one was Spittal.

I could easily see Rangers going in for Baccus. Jack and Lundstram probably leaving leaves a big space in that area of the park, he's a current full international, young at 26, knows Scottish football and no transfer fee involved. The only problem is that Keanu is a quite likeable lad and just wouldn't fit in with that mob at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 (edited) Great news with Gogic, Robinson clearly rates him, has effectively built that defence around him, and Gogic looks like he's loving his time with us just now. I wonder if it was the length of contract that swayed him, as that does seem quite long (..madam!). I could be wrong here (I often am!) but wasn't the last time we put out a 3 year contract was to Brophy. Edited May 7 by Ric 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he ever does decide to stand in Scotland, i wanr to be his election agent.

My post wasn't comparing them, just noting I think that's the last 3 year deal. Perhaps that Brophy deal put the BoD off such long contracts until now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby_F Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 I'd resigned myself to losing Gogic. Thought the wonder goal line clearance against Sevco - and what that would have shown to any watching managers - meant any lingering hope went. Sooooooo good to know that spirit and will to win is staying at Saints!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coventry Saint Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 We are basically a right wing back and a keeper away from a full starting XI now. Obviously think we'll still be looking to strengthen significantly, and Baccus and Strain will leave gaping holes, but we're in decent shape already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gogic signing means really, we're now only in the market for one centre half in the summer. As you say, a first choice RWB, and keeper then two central mids and we're looking pretty good. I do get impression we'll sign a forward too, though. I don't think we'd be too difficult to deal with in terms of if someone came in for 2 or 3 of our forward players. Feel McMenamin and Kiltie are both locks to stay. Scott will be signing full time too. The others though (Jamieson, Ayunga, Mandron), could all realistically move on to make space and/or money. Mandron in particular because we could potentially pull in a very nice fee from clubs with budget to spend for a player pushing 30 with just a year on his contract left. Also get impression from his social media that he wants that big move and you can't really deny him that.

Ric Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Be surprised to see Ayunga move on, if only because he seemed to epitomise Robinson's style of play in that spell before his injury. Not sure if the injury is still an issue but a fit and happy Ayunga, playing the way he did before his injury is an asset in this league. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buttocks Brown Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Actually punched the air when I saw this on the BBC app! In my opinion, the main reason we've followed up top 6 with top 6 is continuity within the squad. Holding onto Goga through his prime is huge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for them overspending on folk like McNair as I'd rather see Baccus go outside of Scottish football. But likes of Middlesbrough could easily replace McNair with Baccus for a whole lot less money and he could handle the Championship without issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
