Love the homage to the 2nd division title winning team with the alternative badge. I recognise a few faces but can only put names to 3: Jim Black, Willie McGuire and Derek Whiteford. Any ideas for the rest? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would've had him back but having Armstrong Mcgrattan Frizz Mcstravick who were the kind of attacking midfielders in the team wouldn't say we really need him and would use budget elsewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d like to have kept him, his decision making was often really poor but plenty to work with, but not a priority when we’ve just signed Armstrong and McGrattan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyall has ability and will improve but we definitely need a more physical type to add to our midfield where we look extremely lightweight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr November Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 I just assumed he’d move back down to England but according to Scott Burns, St. Johnstone, Partick Thistle and Raith are all after Gabby McGill. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He turned thistle down last year and Pretty sure raith were interested in January. Wouldn’t say he’s a premiership player but what a move for him if he could get to St Johnstone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a bit surprised if he ended up at any of these clubs. Much as I liked Gabby I felt by the end of last season his time was up at Airdrie and certainly didn’t see him as a potential Premiership/ top end Championship player 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb_diamond Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 St Johnstone have just signed Josh McPake, taking a cheap (relatively) punt on players with a reputation and point to prove seems to be Leveins new thing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I wasn’t expecting him to have those options this summer but they all do make sense, especially with St. Johnstone’s recent recruitment. I’ll always have a lot of time for Gabby so I hope he gets a deal at St. Johnstone, would also rather not have him playing against us. A nice story if our two play-off heroes end up together in the top flight. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WL Diamond Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 7 minutes ago, cb_diamond said: St Johnstone have just signed Josh McPake, taking a cheap (relatively) punt on players with a reputation and point to prove seems to be Leveins new thing I can’t see Levein being at St Johnstone for long anyway, which is another concern as that’s exactly the type of club I can see Rhys moving to if a vacancy comes up. Regarding Lyall’s apparent move to Morton, whether we were interested or not, and the failure to keep hold of Ballantyne and Telfer, it looks to me like Airdrie’s policy of only offering 1 year contracts (if that is the case) means any decent, experienced players will always get better offers. I appreciate there is a wage structure/ budget etc. in place for a reason but if we don’t start acting more like a Championship club my fear is we won’t stay one for much longer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 1 hour ago, cb_diamond said: St Johnstone have just signed Josh McPake, taking a cheap (relatively) punt on players with a reputation and point to prove seems to be Leveins new thing Worth mentioning we lost £1.8m in Davidson's last season are likely looking at a near 7 figure, if not over £1m, loss again from last season. That's down to having a massive, expensive, squad of underachievers who finish low in the league and never get through a round in the cups. We desperately need a cheaper squad that overachieves this season so "squad" players are likely going to be the best (relatively) cheap options we can get. McGill a relatively experienced players 23 or under, who's shown promise in the past, ticks a lot of boxes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhys McCabe Hype Train Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 I’m really not that fussed about Lyall going elsewhere. He was *fine*, and I don’t think he’s at regular Championship level yet. Really McGrattan is the replacement for Telfer, and I think we’re well stocked for forward thinking midfielders. Priority has to be defenders and a quality striker if possible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly spent loads more time on the bench than playing. Edited June 22 by Kenny_m 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
