St Johnstone offering 150k for a young championship centre back is a big commitment for them. You think we're too good to be looking in the championship at young players? 1 Link to comment
North_Andy_Dandy Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Aye I don’t get the whole if the likes St Johnstone at looking at someone that we shouldn’t be touching them mentality.

I don't know if the boy is any good hence the question but there's plenty of good level English teams at Premier and championship level scouting in our lower leagues and picking up players. If it's good enough for them it should be good enough for us. Link to comment

Haven't seen him play personally so wouldn't know. If we won't stump up for McGrath we won't pay out for a young CH from the league below. Link to comment

Should always be a bit of budget left available to pick up good young players from our own leagues on the cheap. They are 'emerging talents' after all. And that's how we picked up the likes of McLean and Ferguson in previous years. 1 Link to comment

If it's good enough for them it should be good enough for us. We should most definitely be looking at the lower leagues for talent. Most clubs now have a good coaching pathways for kids. They are getting good skills and practice installed in them from a young age. They also get more 1st team game time at these clubs. (which is why our young talent goes out on loan). Buying from these clubs allows them to reinvest in youth development. It also allows us to further develop good talent and hopefully bring them through to first team level and then sell on. Makes a lot more sense to me than loaning second rate driffle from English clubs Link to comment

You think we're too good to be looking in the championship at young players? Only seen him in brief highlights of matches on tv and he looked fairly decent. But right now he wouldn't get a game for us unless we had injuries He's better off playing and getting more experience. St Johnstone will give him this at a higher level than he's at just now. If he kicks on there I'd have no problem trying to buy him in 18 months time to replace Gallagher (assuming Gallagher sees out his contract with us) Link to comment

Their next eye is on England Link to comment

Was at Celtic youths and loaned out to Cowdenbeath where he did well, then Alloa where he also did well. Ok on the ball and gets stuck in, not rapid but a solid player who seems to be improving. His Uncle Paul Deas was a left back for St Johnstone. A good lad with a great attitude. Link to comment

You're a mental deficient. Honestly, reading your posts causes me actual pain, you're dreadful, probably the worst on here, and thats saying something when your up against the likes of red yawn and millermong. You need to try to better yourself, really, take a long look at yourself and figure out what makes you the way you are and fix it. Please, for yourself if nothing else. 6 Link to comment

Chester Don Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I really like that lad Regan Cook at Ross County. I know he is a loaner but if Hedge moves on could be a great option. Liked him long before tonight’s two goals also before anyone suggests that. Link to comment

He looks a bit like Ojo... maybe next time we play Ross County, we could just swap the two of them after the game and hope Ross County don't notice until it's too late. 2 Link to comment
