Can't see us going with Urminsky and an on loan Hemming as only two senior goalies at the club. You would hope so long term, though it would be interesting to find out what was sold to Hemming to come up on loan. You are backup/ you are our new number one/ or we are looking to bring in one more goalie for you to compete with? He was playing second fiddle for a good bit at Killie so it would seem pointless for him to move back up here to do similar imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And whats the alternative? Any consistent goalscoring winger in Scotland will cost more, while any consistent goalscoring winger in England will stay down there. Youre signing a prime age goalscoring winger whos done it over multiple seasons and is approaching his peak. In terms of punts, which all signings are, he seems an incredibly smart one to make. He could flop but i think you still accept the logic behind it was sound. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have had a humour bypass this morning, but it gets quite boring seeing posts like this when you look at our dealings overall. People seem to fixate on the odd deal that we have undersold a player, in order to suit their agenda. However, when you look at it over the piece, especially given our last three or four players we've sold, we have done pretty well with what we've received. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I hope you're right, I can't see Middlesbrough (and Hemming) being happy with him coming on loan just to sit on the bench. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 1991 we shelled out £150k for Roy Aitken and £125k on Chic Charnley. We haven't had a six figure spend on a player since then which sounds incredible but shows just how woeful our finances had been for years and how risk averse we've become as a club. However, if we wish to stay on the path we're on, it's right in what you say that we can't rely on players from Scotland and England as we'd simply be priced out of the market. Its totally new territory for me as a Saints fan to see a manager backed in the manner he is being and I hope it does pay off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the original poster was referring to the previous board/owners. You are right in saying that we have been much better in the last few years since we started on the path to becoming fan owned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he ever actually played, then got put out on loan to Airdrie. It was a strange signing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminded me a bit of us signing Alan Gow, would've been a great signing if he'd been brought in 5 or so years earlier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to his Wiki he signed a 2 year deal with us lasted 6 months (including the close season) before being loaned out and had his contract terminated after a year. Rae really did have an eye for a player! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stubbs and that fuckwit Josh Heaton making a monumental c**t of themselves on Twitter, probably put paid to any chance of either having any further career in the game. Having said that Heaton is possibly the worst player I’ve ever seen masquerading as a professional. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he'd heen brought in on a free then wed have probably shrugged our shoulders. The fee, and Stubbs talking him up made a rod for the guy's back. He got a lot of stick on twitter and - stupidly - reacted to some of it. Ultimately he came up, wasn't good enough and was moved on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
