He probably is on the list of candidates but probably third or fourth choice. Guess you have to weigh up how much time you spend on your top choices or risk having to take 4th or 5th choice as everyone else has found a new club. Its a difficult job for a really small club like ourselves identifying players that would improve us but they would rather play in league 1 in England or some other second rate league. Had we had Europe this season we would of been a really attractive proposition to players wanting a stepping stone to an elite league. Link to comment

ERNIE Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Mcgeough and Ojo seemed good signings at the time ,I don't think signing good players is as easy as it looks... 2 Link to comment

If we are going 3-5-2 next season we could do a lot worse. If Shaun Rooney is all that is available in Scotland, look outside Scotland. We have supposedly expanded the scouting network. Use it.

As has been explained, players don't just take the first offer that comes along, some leagues are still running, players will be on holiday ahead of preseason etc etc People need to chill just ever so slightly. 1 Link to comment

He maybe had some fantasy targets when at St Mirren but they couldn’t afford them but now are more realistic targets. Would like to think he has a few ins/links in Ireland for decent ‘potential’ at least. Link to comment

The piece says he wants the MAJORITY of his signings done by start of pre season, which is in 3 weeks. But, after speaking about how, on his 1st day, he gave Gunn and Mowbray a strategy and profile of the players he wants, he is directly quoted as saying "We have identified some really good players. I would like to have EVERYONE available to me by the 1st day of pre season". So a contradiction by the journalist straight off the bat. Bottom line, I'd have expected some movement before now. Looks like Goodwin has done his bit, in directly identifying certain players, whilst also providing a profile for other types of players, that Mowbray should be doing his stuff on. So is it Gunn who is firing blanks? 1 Link to comment

Can't remember if we then went and signed McGeouch after that as well, or if he came just before Ojo. Either way we had far too many very similar midfielders - seems to have been a recurring problem over the years. And as it turned out Ojo was horrific. Link to comment
