Skora11 Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 It’s going to be a busy one for sure. Wonder how many Craigieboy can predict for us this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellman2010 Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 (edited) It’ll be interesting to see if TW goes for any of the St Johnstone players who will be available on frees. O’Halloran & Tanser would be my pick of the bunch from there. Edited April 23, 2021 by Bellman2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutz1869 Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 CONTRACTS, CONTRACTS, CONTRACTS - that has to be the priority! Not sure what a squad of McKenzie, Power, McGowan and Haunstrup can do (despite how versatile Rory is..!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piffer Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 Quicker we get our future sorted then the quicker we can sort out the playing staffs future. I reckon it will be a busy one. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Wright keep more of the current squad than many of the support would. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, and it might make sense. Retaining just four plus some youngsters might be too much upheaval. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s hard to work out who. Guys like Pinnock and Millen seem to be in favour at the moment. Is that because Wright sees something in them or because he’s making do with what we’ve got until the end of the season. He mentioned in the build up to St Mirren about the experience of Broadfoot and has previously spoken about Burke. Wouldn’t be surprised to see them stay another season.

skygod Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 Millen and Pinnock seem favoured and it would be madness not to keep Burke in some capacity. Kiltie, I can`t decide about. He has been in and out. It wouldn`t surprise me if Haunstrup left. A lot can still happen before the season is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 For a start we should offer lafferty what he wants . Listening to him I think he would be quite happy to stay, but can we afford him ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trouble is, he's only really worth playing in behind a striker, but at the same time he's not quite (maybe not far off, but not quite) good enough to build a team around playing in that position. We'd almost be better having a half decent winger and a half decent box to box midfielder rather than Kiltie, even if individually he was a bit better than both. Tricky - I think there might be more to come with him playing in a more rounded squad and with a better manager in Wright. Would like to keep him and find out.

Listening to him I think he would be quite happy to stay, but can we afford him ? It’s not just about affording him, it’s about factoring in any likelihood of paying him £000s to be out injured for 6 months. Any signing is a gamble but if we put all our eggs in one basket only for some hammer thrower to crock him in the first week of the season, we need to have a squad capable (albeit to a lesser extent) of picking up the slack. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killiepies Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 Can’t see any of the 3 other strikers being offered any sort of deal .Frees some money for a decent back up to Lafferty plus there is always Cameron if he is offered a deal.There might be a few surprises in who is offered deals though and more to the point excepts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be interesting to see him in a normal season. Many players struggle being away from families while playing but being away from family has been taken to a whole new level this season. I’d like to hear how much players who have underperformed(Dicker, Haunstrup, McGowan etc) think this has contributed. I hope we can do a deal for Lafferty. We have to make sure we don’t throw all our eggs in one basket. Under Alessio Burke was basically our only outlet. For long periods this season it was the same story. Now Lafferty has become the main attacking threat. Hopefully with good work in the window we can get back to being a threat all over the park and not be reliant on one player.

Agreed, but now we have another outlet Burke seems to be coming back onto a game. In fact there's a lot kore from a few players, with Pinnock being another of note, still looks lightweight and a bit floury at times, but he has certainly been better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mclean07 Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 Lafferty has been brilliant, but given his past record I have a niggling worry about him being consistent over a longer period of time or some other issue upsetting the apple cart. Obviously I would love that not to be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jam1869 Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 I'd keep..... One of the GK's as 2nd choice Def. Mcgowan, Haunstrup and if possible Rossi Mid. Mckenzie, Tish, Power Kiltie Wingers: Burke, Pinnock St: Lafferty Would give you something to build on. Not saying they would all start, but would be decent squad players to have. Would still need 1 maybe 2 GK's. 3/4 defenders 2/3 Midfielders 2 wingers or 1 that can play both sides 2 strikers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
