He's far from a bad player, I'm just not sure what level he's at. He didn't grab the opportunity with United, although you have to weigh in the Goodwin factor to that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he’s one of those guys, like Van Zanten and Shuggie (and Gogic?), where he just fits right in here, and St Mirren is the place for him. Stelios was another. Just seemed to be a good fit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS77 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 9 goals in 75 apps for Greive. I think we all wanted him to develop and do well for us but he’s not really changed at all from the guy who first rocked up from the lower leagues in NZ. Popped up with some important goals and I’m grateful for that but it’s best for both us and him if we part ways. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've made the point before that Grieve was never offering anything wildly different to what was already on the pitch. If you're looking for someone to change a game, you chuck on Olusanya over him every single time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is it for me, there was a lot of good will for the lad to succeed, he worked hard, never seemed to be annoyed at his limited appearances and chucked in a couple of crucial late goals, but I think the ship has sailed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted May 8 Author Share Posted May 8 He was a Danny Mullen type. Came up with goals at some big moments in matches but just wasn't a goalscorer. He will be going with the best of wishes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AW saint Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 53 minutes ago, pozbaird said: Agree wholeheartedly with this. Greive tried his hardest, he was far from a dud, and I think we did all like him. There’s a player in there, definitely. Actually wouldn’t mind him as a squad player, if he came back. Whilst I like Greive as an honest hard working player we have too many so called squad strikers who don't get enough goals. Olusanya would have been in that catagory but he has turned it around by adding goals to his game. Out of our current crop of strikers only Mandron and Toyosi should be retained imo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AW saint Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Keep hearing that Jacob Bedeau will be with us next season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DumbartonBud Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Don’t think anyone expected much when we heard we had signed an amateur from New Zealand so in that respect he definitely exceeded my expectations and always looked like he could do something coming off the bench but certainly not a starter. Would be surprised if we offer a new deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was Robinson's top defensive target last season for LCB and has apparently had another good season. The years extension for Dunne was the end of our interest. @RandomGuy. any chance of a graph? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remains a good, well rounded, LCB. "Style wise" it compares him to Marcus Fraser and Richard Taylor, if that means anything. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraser does OK in that role but struggles a wee bit sometimes due to not being left footed in the slightest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MenstrieSaint Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 I think Jacob Bedeau can play centre half or left sided central defence . Thinknhe would be a good signing and a great replacement for Dunne . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye Fraser comparison wasn't a direct one as a LCB, just a "these centre backs are playing a similar style (aerial more than ground/progressive passes rather than simple etc.), so it likely means Bedeau is either in a system similar to your own, or he plays a similar way. Either way he seems like a good fit for your defence while also being a good player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression Baccus felt it was not the right move did they not still have financial problems at the time ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First choice back three of Bolton, Gogic and Bedeau is both encouraging and refreshingly settled sounding. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, no harm to Fraser but he's being managed towards a backup role. Not because there's anything wrong with him, but because we are rightly looking to improve. Edit: just saw @houston_bud's post. It's definitely a tough one. I wouldn't have the stones to be that ruthless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
