Couldn’t agree more, just watched it, seems really likeable, loves football, seems very focused, talks well, seems a nice bloke, plus for me, the keeper I wanted as he was superb last season at St Johnstone. Great addition.

That’s better.

Bit concerned about the lack of negativity here. This is a keeper that finished in a team second bottom of the Scottish Premiership ffs. The loser mentality seems to be rife on this forum now.

Without him st j would not still be in the Scottish premier

And who are you replacing him with if he gets injured for 6 months ? Richardson ?  :suicide:

Did I not say we should have a young player able to ‘cover’ but you are making extreme example of 6 months 🤦‍♂️ we cannot afford the luxury of two players for every single position ‘as their main position’  we are a club that has numerous players that can ‘fill a role’ if needed & am damn sure we could cover a Devlin injury with better than fkn Richardson with pretty much any right sided/footed mid or winger or even fkn CH in event we haven’t got a semi capable young player able to ‘step in’

 

Also. A six month injury (as you used for massive dramatic effect) would only affect playing side for a few months in reality (if absolutely zero cover) as January window would come before Devlin returns.

 

Anyway. RB is pretty much our very lowest priority right now. That was my point. In short 🤣

Superb interview

Talks brilliantly, he's a signing

He gave off the vibes of a confident man. I wasn't as convinced by his signing as many on here to be honest but after listening to his interview I think this guy will be a great signing for us.

St Johnstone fans think he could have got a bigger club than us. However, they did say his strengths are shot stopping but his kicking and ball distribution is very poor.

Short distribution can probably be easily taught in next few weeks.

Longer accurate kicks maybe less so

Aye it's a start. 

The last goalie never really wanted to be here from the beginning. 

Im sure the ABZ guys on their podcast not mentioned this, in that their was some other club wanting to sign him but he was too far down the road with us at the time and had to join us?

Anyway, glad to see the back of him tbh, he just did not instill confidence in me at all. The game against sevco when he saved a shot and it was easier to push it wide, but instead he pushed it straight into the path of a sevconian for them to score an easy tap in.

What could have been.

Instead 2 years of mediocrity between the sticks. Amazing really the cult following this guy garnered when he first arrived with shouts of 'Rooooos' (guilty myself on occasion). But we were well warned by fans of his previous clubs and they weren't wrong. We could've done better, but that could be said across the board over the last few years I suppose.

To be fair he's not going to say he's shit and his legs are gone is he....

He talked about how he admired his professionalism and by that understood why he lasted so long in the game.

Dimi wants to play as long as possible (Zoff) so he took note.

(And yes, a players' last season in the twilight of their career won't be their best.)

Kicking and distribution are poor? Ok let me throw the ball out to defenders every time.  If he can stop shots and catch the fkn ball then he's a win.

I genuinely don't know much about him but he came off absolutely great in that RedTV interview.

Devlin is fine for RB. Just being overly greedy wanting another.

wingers & central mids yes. Plus striker (if Duk/Miovski go as expected) are main requirements.

RB would definitely be last thing on list & we must have a young player coming in that can play there as back up at least? 
 

I would argue that even another CH is above need for another RB actually as still not convinced we have the complete package/combo there yet

Devlin is hot steaming garbage. We need someone with more pace and better technical ability.

He’s not terrible imo, solid player.

Full backs not a priority right now I feel but if a good one becomes available- for either side of the pitch- we could do with competition there.

For me, we really need to get the wings sorted out in this window- two wingers/wide forwards with pace absolutely the bare minimum, three would be better.

Boy at my work is a st Johnstone season ticket holder and said mitov was miles ahead of anyone else they have/had.

Said his distribution isn't overly bad but at times had to come oit and clear the ball as they were so slow at the back. 

These are the sort of signings we used to make when we were decent. You almost thought we wouldn't be able to get them but we did. Hopefully Thelin is as good at selling us as del was as whatever folk think of mcinnes he could sell the club to players!

Correct - no way I'd want to put my faith and a load of money into a guy who's hardly played in years.

It's interesting though that Mitov had a great season, got into the Bulgarian squad etc, but a year earlier he was released by the mighty Cambridge Utd. 

I'm just relieved that Roos is away, haven't disliked a player as much as I ended up disliking him, for years. Total liability. Mitov seems to be solid, consistent, safe pair of hands. St Johnstone fans were tipping him to be a future captain, so seems to be a leader, vocal and an organiser - exact opposite to Roos.

A good strong leader in the sticks to bark orders at the defence is what weve been lacking for years.
