McManus is now 27 and other than 12 games for Aberdeen when he was starting out, where he scored 0 goals, he has never played in the top flight. There's probably a reason for that.

27 is a great age for a striker totally at his peak and in his prime,and he was at Aberdeen a long time ago like Shankland was who still hit goals when he returned to the league 

McManus would get goals in the SPL I've got absolutely no doubt about it

Why do you think it is that he’s spending his peak playing in the sixth worst top flight in Europe, per UEFA rankings?

When St Mirren were pish and nearly got relegated from the championship, we still beat TNS 4-1. The standard there is poor. His last gig in Scotland was in league 1 FFS.

No it wasn't.

Looks like the McGrath story in the Record today was his agent playing games. EEN said during the week we no longer held an interest and have said as much again tonight.

We’ll hopefully get someone in to try and replace Boyle tomorrow but I’d also like a central midfielder. All options in that area of the park just now aren’t working in Maloney’s system.

Barker in as Boyles replacement?

Don't think that's particularly exciting.

If that is the kind of shite we are looking at signing, I suspect we have basically written this season off already.

No end product, and not particularly "tricky".

Might stop watching any social media til tomorrow as these rumours are giving me the boak.

However the Evening News understands that Easter Road boss Shaun Maloney likes Wright’s skillset and is keen to keep him as part of his first-team squad for the second half of the campaign despite interest from Saints boss Callum Davidson in bringing the player back to Perth after his departure in the summer of 2020.

"skillset" :lol: :lol:

We desperately need a midfielder who's less static and goes hunting for the ball. Basically Gogic if he were good, or what Omeonga did for 90 minutes on Saturday; and cover for Cadden as based on what he's doing with CHs I'd say Clarke has been brought in to play RCB. That we're still looking at flighty forwards is worrying, even if the deal for Hauge has fallen through. Nisbet, Doidge and Melkerson to play up top; Nisbet, Henderson, Melkerson, Hauge, Mueller, Campbell (and Magennis/Murphy/Scott/Allan although they can be written off as injured/shit/probably still away) to play in the roles behind, which is a decent mix of types of player for those two no. 10 roles:

Without Hauge that's still 5 players (plus Campbell and Magennis) for 3 positions up front, discounting Wright, Allan, Scott and Murphy

I think we'll see Cadden rotated for Wright occasionally, I think that's why he's been kept today. Asking a lot of our wide players in this system so makes sense that we brought in Mitchell and kept Wright for rotating when the starters are needing a rest.

Hauge is seemingly being bought so Steve Kean can have a great wee development side, so I guess all roads lead to Brandon Barker at present, for better or worse.

Well that's a relief(ish).
