I wouldnt class connell as an out and out striker maybe i should have said one then and when i say one i meant an out and out goalscorer .As much as i enjoyed camerons performance the other night i dont think he will be prolific scorer .dont see robinson as a striker at all .not seen burrell so cant comment .

We've got Connell and Burrell and we still have Robinson to come back who could be played up front on his own or with Cameron. I'd be ecstatic with two, but happy with one proven goalscorer. -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say all but Dunfermline, Caley and mibbe Raith will park the bus at RP - we are the big guns this year and TW has signed a really strong squad. I think the biggest challenge is for us to keep calm and be positive towards our team at home; the goals will come in almost every game. Our record for patience in games at RP recently years is not great. Agreed. And I think that has helped shape TWs ethos- he's tried to bring in players throughout the squad who can score goals. It would be sensational to bring in a 20 goals man but Murrat x2, Alston, Burke, Armstrong, Polwarth, Robinson each weighing in will see us win more games or take a point even when we are struggling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mogwai Posted August 4, 2021 Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 Greg Stewart is still unattached but that just seems to be dragging on. What about someone like Simon Cox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killie Minogue Posted August 4, 2021 Report Share Posted August 4, 2021 Stewart's a puzzler. Going on 7 weeks since leaving Rangers, touted for a few clubs but still a free agent - as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if he will fulfill his potential? Sure he played against Shellic on Saturday and had a good game. Strange decision for the Jambos to let him go.

SlimStripey Posted August 5, 2021 Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 As good as Greg Stewart was for us he isn’t an out and out no 9. He was always dropping deep to get the ball and carrying it as well as running in channels. If we want someone to lead the line by himself I’m not sure he’s the man. I think he’s well suited to that 10 role we’ve been playing but we’ve already got Alston, Robinson, Polworth and possibly even McKenzie that can play it. Plus then we’d still need to play Cameron or someone else in front of him. My guess would be TW is after more of a conventional striker than Stewart so I suspect we won’t see him back at RP.

BigYin Posted August 5, 2021 Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 I'd be surprised if Stevie May and Callum Hendry weren't 1 of the 2 options. Players that TW knows well. Lee Erwin could be shout as well. Looking at the premiership squads there's not a lot of clubs that a have and abundance of strikers but St Johnstone and St Mirren are 2 that are maybe a little top heavy in that department with players who might see themselves as 1st team players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ngonge88 Posted August 5, 2021 Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 I'd be surprised if it was Erwin. I like the big man, but comes on most weeks after around an hour. Still a chance McGrath could go down south. May/Hendry are the obvious shouts. As Souley posted above, Griffiths or Greg Stewart would be the ideal scenario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted August 5, 2021 Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 I don't know if May has fallen out of favour or fell away at the end of last season but there was a period last season where he was excellent and I'd be surprised if he was a player that St Johnstone were looking to let go. Agree with the post above about Stewart and the type of player he is. He's extremely talented and he did pick up a decent tally for us but he plays off a striker, it's weird that people are calling for an out and out striker and also name dropping Stewart. I'm not saying he wouldn't score the 15 goals that people are looking for but he's never picked up 15 goals before. He would be an incredible signing if even remotely possible though. Don't think Erwin is likely to score many at any level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May is a bit part player for them now, would be an ok addition but not the guy we need to score us 10-15 goals imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
