flyingscot Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Seems the Gallagher deal is a decent move for both parties. He was mostly being used off the bench so if we get someone in to compete that's a bonus. Still think we look light in defence and midfield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club have said defender is signing today subject to a medical. There's been talk of Bedeau but that makes it seem like it is a free agent. I'd like if it was Fitzwater. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got a fee for him from the exact same guy who had to pay him to leave Aberdeen 12 months ago. I'd say that's the opposite of a reject. You mean 12 months after we were willing to pay to get rid of him, he’s dropped down to the championship to get a game? Doesn’t sound like his career is on the up tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t sound like his career is on the up tbh. Where he goes is of no concern of mine or any other Bud. You asked if he's a St. Mirren reject. We brought him in, got 2/3rds of a good season out of him, decided to let him leave with a year left on his contract once it became obvious he wasn't cut out for this level of football and instead of paying him off, got a fee for him and turned a profit on a near 33 year year old centre half. By no description is that a 'reject'. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've picked a tiny part of what I've said and not taken the specifics into account. Injuries and time caught up to him - if he'd hung about for another season stinking the joint out like Considine is doing in Perth, you'd maybe have a point but you won't find many St. Mirren supporters saying his overall contribution was anything other than very positive for us. The reason for leaving was one of those things that happens with some players in their 30s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medals Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 2 hours ago, Captain_Sensible said: I’d assume if we did sign him, we’d sign Strapp as a left wing back rather than a central defender. However, he’s an inch taller than Man Utd’s Lisandro Martinez Aye and Messi is smaller too. Martinez is a superstar. STRAPP not so much, and not so good in the air. It was suggested he could play LCB as cover for us. I stated otherwise, and stand by that. I don't think he's as good as Tanser at LWB either, so I'm hoping we sign someone better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's actually probably relatively accurate. Decision was made that time is catching up rather than lack of ability and sent on his way with best of wishes. I do find it funny that Goodwin actually shelled out real money for him. What a difference a year makes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ability wise I'd think that Fitzwater would be a decent signing. However, as he's without a club, I would doubt that he's "match fit". We've got enough of this category of player in the squad and i'd rather we signed a player, of a similar calibre, who is match fit ready to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you would think 25 year old who has pksyed 30 plus games for the last three seasons would have a good chance to get up to speed very quickly . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I know it's not Norway, but it's some commute to be doing Dundee to Motherwell/Paisley several times a week for the last few years. The bizarre thing is he lived in Aberdeen when he played for us 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No complaints about his time with us and wish him all the best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was Willie Miller who called him an Aberdeen reject and Gallacher then scored to beat you. If and when a Saints commentator labels him a Saints reject and he then comes and scores the winner against us, then you have a valid point.
