Attitude and commitment was superb so I think he will deliver again. As said above him Watt and KVV has potential. Alright if he maintains the tune Alexander got out of him. Stats don’t lie & his ain’t great bar 2 and a half games last season till teams sussed him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker86 Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 Some decent business on the face of it this summer. Some big shithouse defenders and a few more midfield/attacking players who like they actually have a touch is an upgrade. Looking forward to seeing how it comes together in the next few games. A first team squad of 27 is a lot so it will be interesting to see who moves out on loan. Some championship experience for Cornelius, Devine and Johnstone would be good.

Not disagreeing. Bigger step up for both the players you mention & whilst it’s a stretch to expect them to be having the best spells of their career with immediate impact I’d wager if Roberts doesn’t maintain his 2 and a half game form of last season he’ll fare no better than them.

weeyin Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 The best thing about Roberts is he is an actual wide player. So won't have to compromise putting a central forward out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injury was how the others sussed him being a threat… kicked him off the park. I did see what he did for us last year & recognised that - if we get that consistency we’re onto something. Plenty to say we may not, but, he scored a worldy & failing under the coaching of Robbie Neilson is something to base hopes on? Deary me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contrary? Perhaps read what was said rather than playing with words? A 30 yarder when? 5/6 years ago? Certainly added to a massive career tally… Nobody has mentioned finished articles and taking chances. You’re advocating taking a punt on a 27 year old. That’s the stretch for me.

C&A not the shop Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 It's a fair point from Yodo, this is mostly Alexander's team now he has to live or die by his performances/results. Kelly Ojala Johansen Slattery Goss Woolery Amaluzor Van Veen Roberts Lawless (possibly a question mark there if he was fully his signing) So other than the full backs he's brought in a full new team. Let's see what they can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmcalpin Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 The raft of new signings must raise questions over the future of squad players like Crawford and Lawless. Perhaps we'll see one or both going out on loan toa Championship club later this month. On paper at least some good business this window and IF that translates to good players on the pitch then our longer term strategy of 2/3 years deal should see us move more towards a St Johnstone model of long term stability and continuity.

livivoice Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Very encouraged by Roberts signing. IMHO he was our most impressive forward before his ' freak ' injury . I felt he was pacey, direct and a real menace to defences . Genuinely felt that if he hadn't got the injury we would have made top 6. Grounds for optimism.

joewarkfanclub Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Pretty pleased with the business we have done. The areas of the park that required addressing have been addressed. Of course, it remains to be seen if any of the signings will be a success, but thats football. Lets all now get behind the manager and the players and give them the encouragement and support they need! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
