[sooth_stander]

Since when has a centre half signing excited the fans? What a bizzare thing to say.

Actually think there is more chance of us keeping Ramirez for another season.  

No way and I'll bet you on that if you like

Since we kept less than 8 clean sheets in all competitions last season.

Thought he was a decent shout as he plays LCH then had a look and he’s right footed.
 

Would be funny if it was him tho just to watch the meltdown of Goodwin doesn’t have a clue

Aye, cos its likely transfermarkt.com know something Goodwin doesn't

It is exciting me after that pish pairing last season.

What a bizarre thing to say.

Of course Goodwin would know his soon to be new LCB is left footed as that what he has stated he wants, but surely you can see the funny side to the meltdown that would occur on here if the play was right footed

I’ll enjoy reading the fallout even if you wouldn’t 

[torry_battery_ram]

Is Connor McCarthy at St Mirren left footed? I notice he rejected a new deal at the Paisley side 

[Don_Corleone]

Danny Wilson

Couple of centre backs that played for him previously were Akin Famewo and Sean McLaughlin who are both left sided Centre backs.

Famewo has been on loan from Norwich to Charlton for the past 2 seasons after his 6 months at St Mirren. They had an option to make permanant but sacked the manager at end of season so not activated. Not sure he would be exciting though.

Sean McLoughlin he tried to sign for St Mirren when he was leaving Cork but he chose to go to Hull for more money. He is someone who JG really rates very highly. He was loaned to St Mirren after that and was outstanding for half a season in a poor St Mirren team. He tried to get him back a couple of times but Hull wouldn't let him leave, and he finally broke into the Hull team last autumn. Been ever present since though and played very well in the championship so would seem very unlikely we could now afford him. Hull though have got a new turkish owner who is meant to be looking to splash the cash though this summer so Arveladze might be willing to let him go if he is bringing in some big names.

Stuart Findlay is also a possible. He has only 6 months left of a contract in the states and hasn't been getting much game time over there. He had good pace and and left sided.

Thar's who I think it'll be

Not sure it'll excite the support much mind you.

Whilst I appreciate my opinion is vastly undervalued on here ?

signing a quality CH would certainly excite me (although I’d prefer two minimum) as I am a firm believer in building a very solid back line & spine first & foremost & then add the quality further forward to compliment that. Strong defensive unit allows the rest far more freedom to take risks going forward 

 

Or it was conducted on fri night/sat morning ?‍♂️

A strong centre half would be needed but he would hardly excite anyone. Excite for me is someone who can change games for the good when we are struggling, just seemed a very strange choice of words for me

My thoughts exactly.

Maybe it’s Virgil Van Dyke, however?

Bates alongside Findlay does sound like a Goodwin pairing.  Could see it working with a little cajoling from the manager.

Signing the next William Miller would be pretty damn exciting

[AyrshireSheep]

Surely the player would excite the fans if he was signed from a team that was doing well and defensively sound? I get that a CH isn't a glamorous signing but if has performed well in his current team and his team have performed well i'd be thinking it was a good signing. But if we signed him from a team that shipped goals and got relegated for example i'd have my doubts. We'll see when said player signs..

Findlay wouldn't get my excited however he's very solid and I rated him when he was at Killie, natural Left Sided CB should help Bates come onto a game

[Zeus]

Bates will come good then?

Mini DMd me an exclusive - feel I need to share it - we will sign a left sided cb end of this week or start of next. Appreciate his on the pulse info as always ?

The funny thing is, if you weren't such a prick I would have told you that a week ago.

Aye, it’s pedantic, but maybe “please” the fans would’ve been a better choice of word. 

Let’s see who it is first.

Folk touting Findlay… I’m not convinced by him. I know he got to the Scotland squad, or the fringes of it, but I was never that impressed when he played against us. 

[Dons79]

A mentioned Findlay when he played for Kilmarnock as a good defender we should be going for due to his pace and got told by almost everyone on here that he was shite, Kilmarnock pffftt etc, seen him plenty of times and was clearly better than any of our CB, s at the time,how the world turns eh

As most people arent overly enamoured by this suggestion, I dont understand your smugness. 

[Helmet]

I get the feeling use of the word "exciting" is going to get a lot of people in a froth when we sign this new CB.
