I am not disagreeing that as part of a squad a guy that has pace , strength and can cause chaos isn’t a bad option, just feel there are possibly others out there that can offer that but can also offer more Quote

OrlandoDon Posted Thursday at 22:29 Report Posted Thursday at 22:29 Sounds like two very professional players in mayo and lyons, both leaders and standard setters. Every team needs balance, skill, flair, muscle etc, these guys both bring qualities we sadly lack. No judgement from me until the summer signings are complete and we see a more realistic picture of what we expect from them. Quote

He proved he can have a positive impact on our team, certainly contributed more than yengi Ambrose and lazetic. Reminds me of Darren mackie, different type of player obviously,but has his limitations yet will provide value to a squad. Don’t want him as a starting player, I don’t see him as good enough, we certainly need a new legit 9 to compete with nisbet. But for those who don’t rate him, he’s already shown us that he has something to offer, can have an impact, and having signed Ambrose yengi and lazetic, we could certainly do better but also do a lot worse. we certainly need to offload those three.

Back to celebrating mediocrity. After the amount of cash that the Swedish neep wasted on transfers then it is no surprise that these are the sort of signings that Robinson has no choice but to go after. lets get behind him and support them all and see what happens. way too early for negativity SF Quote

Flike, imo it's all about expectations vs reality, i'm old enough to remember getting to Gothenburg in 83 and thinking "ach it's ok, i'll go next year" Robinson is who we've got, negativity will do us no good, we have to get behind him and who ever he plays and hope it gets us good results.

OrlandoDon Posted Friday at 19:32 Report Posted Friday at 19:32 (edited) Scott Burns linking us with Connor Ronan. Recall we were interested in both him and McGrath when they were both at st mirren, and eventually got McGrath, while Ronan went to MLS. Ronan did play for Robinson, so they have a connection.

Aye but is he a clay doddie or decent like McGrath ? (I wonder) Quote
Slim Posted Friday at 19:56 Report Posted Friday at 19:56 (edited) I seem to remember him being quite exciting and us being in the running to sign him before Wolves giving him a chance to break into their team.

Panda Posted Friday at 20:07 Report Posted Friday at 20:07 We're fairly stocking up on the defensive players. Also enjoying how early we appear to be getting these players. Last season, we got to the middle of August having only signed five players - Ronan could be our fourth before we even get to June. Quote

I’m not saying anything yet. But I suppose we need to remember we have competitive games starting July 11 so there is an urgency. Ronan would bring balance to the signings to date, strength and now some flair, but the tougher signings will be two wingers and a 9. Plus a keeper? im equally eager to see players leaving. 1 Quote
tlg1903 Posted 7 hours ago Report Posted 7 hours ago Just had a wee look at Ronans stats there. What's interesting to me, especially given the perception some have about Robinsons style of play being a bit hoofball, is that his time at St Mirren was by a mile his most productive from an attacking sense. Was fond of a worldie from outside the box if memory serves too so I would be quite open to signing Ronan 2bh. 1 Quote
TheDonbytheDee Posted 2 hours ago Report Posted 2 hours ago Milanovic tipped for a move back to who we signed him from. Source is Scott Burns. Probably a good move for the lad. 1 Quote
