We can't compete with Aberdeen for wages but we can offer regular games and possibly a longer contract. Somebody who can make/score goals is a priority. Kennedy seemingly takes injections for a knee issue and therefore the pitch means it's a no go. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Bunn Edited January 8, 2020 by Squirrelhumper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trenwick Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 we need to sign a goal scorer and Kennedy stats of 19 goals in 174 makes it a goal every 10 games, and we have already got one of those. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he has a knee issue then we can't risk paying over the odds for him. Thought the pitch was meant to be as good as grass but I guess that isn't the case.

Another crock at Aberdeen. Racking my brains to think of a time McInnes didn't sign someone with long term injuries or underlying conditions. Pleasing indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Souleycouley93 Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 Nisbet from Dunfermline would be good in terms of potential. Then maybe a bigger guy upfront from down South. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all about opinions with the pitch, plenty of scientific studies prove no higher risk playing on modern artificial surfaces to grass. We didn't have a lot of injuries in last 2 seasons either. Broadfoot was out a bit but it was for head knocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCM Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 With the squad that is available "at the moment" it is interesting to compare with McCullochs last game in charge when we were in also in a sticky position. The defence looks fairly similar with (excluding Findlay being injured), two old hands in Greer and Bruce. Up front also very similar but Jones pace helped as opposed to Burkes work rate and skill. The midfield now is much more experienced and defensive minded than back in 2017 which is probably why we are only losing to the odd goal (but not scoring many). With Millar now recalled and a possible loss of O'Donnell, if Branescu, Del Fabro or Hamalainen are recalled by the parent club we are really threadbare. I am not sure of McDonald, Kiltie and Watters have been recalled but surely they would be seen as squad players and not regular starters. If AD, Fowler and the board think that 2 players are going to turn our season around it will need to be Messi and Ronaldo. McDonald Branescu O'Donnell O'Donnell Findlay Del Fabro Greer Bruce Taylor Hamalainen Watters (Boyd 46) Dicker Hawkshaw Power Frizzell El Makrini Jones Burke Erwin (Brophy 71) Brophy Thomas Thomas Subs Not Used: Subs: Bell Koprivec Broadfoot`` Johnson Power Barlow Burke Wilson Spencer McKenzie Millen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudger Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 Players would rather play on grass than astro all day long. It doesn't directly cause any more injuries than grass parks but the effects on players carrying knocks or recurring injuries are far more wearing. It will (and has) put some players off signing for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killie billies pal Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 I’m not that fussed about Kennedy, looked ok withSaints but nothing special, we really need to get the chequebook out for the first time in decades and get the two lads up from Burton imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Souleycouley93 Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 Surely let Waters fight for his place before offering him another deal. Get Hendrie out the door. Weakens St Mirren and allows him to get used to a manager who may or may not be his next season. -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletch Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) Signing Bunn would make sense with Millar leaving. We don't really have many options on the left side now. He definitely fits what Fowler had said about trying to bring in guys at the right age/stage of their career.
