A fit Moult would improve all those teams. And that's the thing. Is he fit? How much are clubs willing to gamble? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkyred Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 I would imagine we’re in a pretty reasonably position if it’s a choice between Scottish clubs. If he’d stayed fit we could get nowhere near a big city club in wages but I don t see them offering a fortune after 18 months out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine that main competitors would be the likes of Kilmarnock, Ross County, St Mirren, and certainly Dundee. I wouldn't think bigger clubs would be willing to take the risk. Probably doesn't even fit the St Johnstone profile. Pure speculation on my part though and I may be totally wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It kinda suggests that Carson and another first choice keeper won't both be in the squad. Goalkeeping situation is still unclear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be pretty hopeful if it’s other Premiership sides of a similar size of it going in our favour. Watching the interview of him he’s clearly attached to the club and I’m struggling to see how those other clubs would blow us out of the water on wages. I think st Mirren are now pretty covered up front and Killy are now down in the championship. Ross County ? Maybe but a long shot, Livi I doubt given their budget. Dundee would be a worry though.

GazzyB Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 Moult is a Championship level striker who is nearing full fitness again (remember he made the bench for Preston a couple of times), the "other options" will absolutely be top six sides and there's no chance he'll end up at a Dundee, Ross County or St Johnstone. It would be extremely painful to see Louis Moult score against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C&A not the shop Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 I assume with Fox coming back the club is confident that Carson will be fit and stay fit. One thing we have in our favour for Moult is being the furthest south/quickest to get to the Midlands from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't know. As we know, there were rumours that we wanted Liam Kelly back. GA has said that he wants players capable of playing 40 or 50 games a season. Does Trevor fit that bill? Time will tell who the boss wants as his No 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I'd rather he stayed down South. There are four possibilities if he returns to Scotland. He comes to us and is as good as before. He comes to us and disappoints. He goes to another SPL club and is as good as before. He goes to another SPL club and disappoints. Possibilities 2, 3 and 4 would be painful to watch...

He could just as easily break down again when things get going. Personally I would think he will struggle to remain in the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellsince75 Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 13 hours ago, Ped_MFC said: One year extension for Scott Fox reports the official Club site. for a club who want a smaller squad some of our resignings have been uninspiring. (Fox, Carrol, Muguabi, Crawford - not sold any of these are auto picks for starting 11) Couple this with GA signing Lawless until end of 21/22 season. If these players weren't good enough to get a starting place last season we should let them go and look to replace with players who are likely to start.

Neilwell86 Posted June 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 You have to remember how many bodies we let go, got rid of, or lost at the end of the season. A bit of continuity can't be a bad thing, especially for the premier sports cup group stages, having players who know what Alexander want's to navigate early banana skins could prove quite sensible. Fox will be there as back up, nothing more. Carroll, Mugabi and Crawford will do a job, we know what we are getting from them, might not be the most inspiring signings for fans, mainly because we would much rather see new faces regardless of how good they are on most occasions but they will be good guys to have around the place. even with these guys signing on and GA looking at between 7-10 new faces, it still leaves a smaller squad so I wouldn't look too much into it, I guess with Crawford and Mugabi signing on, it gives Cornelius and Devine a chance to go and play every week out on loan, saying that we may have bigger plans for both.

Some truth there about the benefits of continuity. I'd love inspiring signings, but solid Premiership citizens will do me just fine. No spark or flair, just a good work ethic and few mistakes. Thats my benchmark, but hopefully we can aspire to better. The problem is that I don't even see Crawford and Mugabi as being at that level. If that standard is good enough for St Johnstone it'll do me just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spit_It_Out Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 Crawford ,Mugabi and Lamie have been different players since GA has come into the club think they have proved they are decent enough no worse than what alot of teams have. I like the GA approach seems to have cleaned house a bit with the scouting aswell.Polworth was being a dick kicked him too touch I like his style no nonsense. A good manager will get the best out of a bad player I think the way the management goes about it is spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that standard is good enough for St Johnstone it'll do me just fine. i'm very much on the same wavelength with you here, I think players with a strong work ethic go down well amongst our support, most will forgive a lack of skill with players that leave it all on the park. Crawford and Mugabi are kind of in the middle for me, Personally I think they are fine, however I can 100% see why others may not. Mugabi has a wild moment in him however if you ask him to defend he does so well enough, very athletic and good in the air. Crawford much the same just in midfield, he does the nitty gritty side of it well, and again if you ask him to keep it simple, he is solid enough. The signing we make to accompany these types is where our final league position will be decided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
