| 61. Author: Berkey Date: Sun 18th May 2025. 19:22 How’s it “brain dead” for a fan to suggest a Scottish player who is nearing the end of his career and moving down the leagues in England might be tempted to come to us? Takes all sorts but that’s a weird way to have a go at someone for suggesting a player. Would I have been brain dead if I suggested wanyama in January last season? Not your finest hour Andrew. No one knows the level of player we are looking at for next season. Lennon won’t be on a £1k a week that’s for sure. The post below replying to me is by one of .nets finest champions of mediocrity!

| 63. Author: TAFKA_Super_Petrie Date: Mon 19th May 2025. 10:13 I wouldn`t have thought Wanyama or even Lennon for that matter were realistic yet it happened so anything is possible. If we are throwing silly about for wages who knows. Armstrong isn`t your stereotypical footballer, sure he was a late developer to FT football and is also a qualified lawyer so he may fancy a move back near home to see out his playing days. Wishful thinking of course. I think we`ll see a few on the north side of 30 years old, possibly ones who Lennon has experience with and/or ones he brought through at Celtic who didn`t quite make the final step into the first team. Outwith that Joe Shaughnessy is out of contract at Dundee, would fit the bill nicely for an experienced centre back especially if we play a back three. Ditto Ross Docherty from Dundee United for centre midfield although i'm not sure if he still has another year left to run. ---------------------------------------------------------------  [b]"People always talk about Ronaldinho and magic, but I didn't see him today.

| 65. Author: parathletic Date: Wed 21st May 2025. 20:23 I see St Johnstone released 16 players this week including Nicky Clark, Benji Kimpioka and Stevie May. Andre Raymond has also been made available for transfer. Reply |
| 66. Author: cammypar 1995 Date: Thu 22nd May 2025. 07:50 parathletic, Wed 21 May 20:23 I wouldn`t consider bringing Raymond back. Despite Ngwenya missing 10 games last season, I believe there are better and more consistent alternatives available who can genuinely challenge for the starting spot. The release of Comrie seemed to point towards a system using wing-backs, we will need 4 (2 each side ) first team quality players to contribute over the course of the season due to the physical demands it requires. With that in mind, I wouldn’t be keen on signing any players released by St Johnstone. For example, Clark only featured for 25 minutes across their bottom-six fixtures and wasn’t even in the squad for their 2-0 defeat to Dundee. If st Johnstone thinks they are not worth keeping for the championship, I can`t see us going anywhere near them. c'mon the pars Reply |
| 67. Author: da_no_1 Date: Thu 22nd May 2025. 07:57 With the proper quality of service Nicky Clark would have a field day in the Championship. "Some days will stay a 1000 years, some pass like the flash of a spark" Reply |
| 68. Author: cammypar 1995 Date: Thu 22nd May 2025. 08:20 da_no_1, Thu 22 May 07:57 Clarke`s had 2 season stints in the Championship with us, Rangers and Dundee Utd, plus a 1 year spell at QOS at this level. 190 games, 54 goals and 25 assists – works out at 1.75 points per game, which isn’t bad on paper. That said, last time he played in the Championship was with Dundee Utd in 19/20 – five years ago now. He’s 33 and clearly not fancied by St Johnstone to do a job at this level anymore. Or maybe they don`t see him being reliable. We’ve already got Kane, who struggles with fitness when the workload ramps up. Do we really want to take another gamble up front? Clarke could maybe bring some experience to the squad, but I don’t think he would be worth the gamble. Feels like we need someone a bit more reliable. But he does know where the goal is I just don`t think we need another player who might struggle with the demands of a season. c'mon the pars Reply |
| 69. Author: Berkey Date: Thu 22nd May 2025. 16:05 Not sure I would take clark, another like moult who is getting towards the wrong end of career and you need decent mobility at the top of this league. Just to say though that st Johnstone are cutting costs, don’t assume that they didn’t think Clark couldn’t do a job for them in the championship as they released him, it could just be they can’t afford what he was looking for or have other strikers signed up for next season. If Clark ended up at a half decent championship team he would score a few goals in the league next season for sure. The post below replying to me is by one of .nets finest champions of mediocrity!

| 72. Author: Berkey Date: Thu 22nd May 2025. 17:29 Lenny’s son released by st mirren, never played for them and spent the majority of the 2 years on loan in league 2 but given the wanyama signing I wouldn’t be suprised if he joined his dad here. Post Edited (Thu 22 May 20:10) Reply |
| 73. Author: cammypar 1995 Date: Thu 22nd May 2025. 18:46 da_no_1, Thu 22 May 17:06 Is that the same Brian Graham who played 33 regular league games this season and finished top goalscorer in the league? c'mon the pars Post Edited (Thu 22 May 18:47) Reply |
| 74. Author: Buster_Brown Date: Thu 22nd May 2025. 19:16 Berkey, Thu 22 May 17:29 I know it’s all about levels but I saw him at Dumbarton a few times and thought he looked a player. I’m sure he’ll stay in the game and at 19, he might be a handy player to have in a Development Squad somewhere Reply |
| 75. Author: da_no_1 Date: Thu 22nd May 2025. 19:28 cammypar 1995, Thu 22 May 18:46 Yes. My comment was aimed at those who say a championship striker needs to be mobile. "Some days will stay a 1000 years, some pass like the flash of a spark" Post Edited (Thu 22 May 19:29) Reply |
| 76. Author: Berkey Date: Thu 22nd May 2025. 20:16 It was another dig at me no doubt. I suppose if we had a better team the striker doesn’t need to as mobile, it depends on how Lenny wants to play. Thistle play to get the ball into him at first opportunity and he doesn’t have to track back as much etc, it’s worked for him but as team it only gets you so far. Figure we’re aiming a bit higher than distant 4th next season? The post below replying to me is by one of .nets finest champions of mediocrity! Reply |
| 77. Author: cammypar 1995 Date: Thu 22nd May 2025. 20:26 da_no_1, Thu 22 May 19:28 Ah, I agree the "mobility" claim wasn`t the word I think he was looking for. Now if he had said reliable I`d agree with that considering how much games kane misses. I saw that Archie Stevens has been released from Rangers. It will be interesting to see where he ends up. One of those players I actually thought he showed promise on his first appearance for us. He wasn’t afraid to take on his man and looked like he had that bit of spark about him. Thought if we’d worked on his delivery, he could’ve turned into a real asset out wide. And to bring it back to your earlier point, had the looks of someone who could really benefit a striker who isn`t the most mobile as maybe younger models. But after that game he just seemed to go backwards. Stopped being direct, always playing it safe ,laying it off to the Comrie or into midfield instead of driving forward. Hard to know if that was the instructions from the dugout or a lack of confidence. Maybe he just didn`t fit our system, maybe low on confidence at a club who struggled . Time will tell, I suppose. c'mon the pars Reply |
| 78. Author: kozmasrightfoot Date: Thu 22nd May 2025. 20:40 Archie was here at a time when our pitch didn`t suit wingers. Give him a decent pitch and some quality strikers to aim a cross at and who knows? Pars fan. Magpies fan. Mens tennis fan. Alternative rock fan. Not a fan of much else. Reply |
| 79. Author: da_no_1 Date: Thu 22nd May 2025. 20:49 Berkey, Thu 22 May 20:16 Merely suggesting you don`t need to be "mobile" to be a successful striker in the Championship. Anyone you fancy us signing in the window? "Some days will stay a 1000 years, some pass like the flash of a spark" Reply |
| 80. Author: cammypar 1995 Date: Thu 22nd May 2025. 21:08 Berkey, Thu 22 May 20:16 Are you seriously saying that if the top scorer in the league was available, you wouldn’t sign him? After the absolute dross we’ve served up over the last few seasons, I’d bite your hand off for a "distant 4th" right now. We were literally the lowest scoring team in Scotland last season. Signing anyone who can stick the ball in the net is a welcome upgrade at this point. That said, It`s not just about finishing. We also need players who can create chances. Maybe I’m missing your point here, Berkey, but I don’t get your logic. c'mon the pars Reply |
