    Strange signing at the time but understood it was as cover for Holt, for a big lad he was pretty weak, couldn't jump which was weird for a lad of around 6'4" but with him and possibly Holt leaving, maybe Lennon will go for the smaller more mobile striker to partner JC ( or whoever if JC leaves too ).

    I wouldn't say he couldn't jump. He had a decent enough game at Greenock the other week, winning a reasonable amount in the air.

    He scored a couple of very good goals (the Morton one mentioned above and another one at the same end when he chested it down and finished - can't remember who against) and he got a couple of scrappy but important ones.

    He played his part but I don't know if he's quite good enough for the step up next year.

    Far from our worst signing, he put in a shift when asked and we should be grateful for his contribution if he does move on.

    I think he's been decent when given the chance. Good luck to him, played his part and made a reasonable contribution.

    If Graham does go and with Holt not being offered a new deal and potential of some kinda bid for JC our striking targets need to be Identified asap. Not saying JC would go but I hope they have solid targets in mind
    I thought everyone out of contract had been offered a deal?

    People might have been offered deals but maybe not as good as the deal they're currently on.

    Wish him all the best but if we can bring better and more goals, it's a good move.

    Lennon and Holt have both confirmed that Holt hasn't been offered anything yet. Lennon says Holt is an isolated circumstance - he wants him to stay but might be outwith his control.

    Is this being reported anywhere? Hope it's true as we need a lot better than him next year and it will help to get him off the wage bill.

    When he came on against Aberdeen it was obviously cos we were going to be going long.

    I'm sure his first aerial challenge was against Logan, probably the smallest guy in their team, and he got beat to the ball. Brutal.

    He's ****ing diddy.

    Surprised he is getting as good a move as St Johnstone.

    tbf to him though, recently I felt he offered a lot more than holt and could actually see him scoring or causing a threat to the opposition.

    Holt however won me over on Saturday.

    Thought he was always more of a goal threat than Holt ever was 9except for his MOTM performance on Saturday)

    The only combination we didn't see up front during the season was Holt & Graham and I was hoping we might see that in the last three games. It might have just worked, or it could have been a comedy?

    Best curb the excitement. There is but 1 single submission an hour ago asking about this possible transfer on the St Johnstone supporters forum and a single piss take reply to it.
    Think it is wishful thinking on our part.

    Graham was brought in as a cheap option for our fourth striker.

    I expected him to be kept in that role for next season because he was under contract but if he has the chance to go elsewhere for regular football then I'll wish him luck except against us.

    However if Graham is away and Holt's future is up in the air, I can only assume that we're ready to make our move for two new strikers as soon as the season is over. That could suggest that the players in question are under contract for next year or else there would be rumours about pre-contracts being signed.
    Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

    Thought he would do well here, but every time hes had his chance hes flattered to deceive. Pretty certain he wouldnt have left Ross Co if he knew he would be back up to Holt, only start 8 games and most of his appearances be 10 min cameos when we are struggling.

    If we are lining up a better replacement for him then happy for him to go. The Dutch lad we are apparently after fits the bill.

    Thanks Brian for your contribution to our title winning season and good luck for the future.

    Had a huge hand in a huge victory for us at a time when results weren't great, too many draws. He was the one who won a header and flicked the ball on to Keatings to then score the winner against chorus tons hammer throwers. Good luck to him if he leaves. As someone said earlier, not the worst I've seen at ER.

    I heard a couple of randoms talking about it on the 26 bus, so it definitely must be true.

    Hopefully for him he will get a regular game and that might help him get going. Signing for a top six team is not a bad move.

    He's a penalty box striker and that's it. He'll probably end up with a one in three goal record next year if he gets consistent game time at wherever he ends up.

    Limited, but hardly the huddy some are making out.

  29. #58
    Good news. Wish him all the best. But good for move both parties

    Lovely through balls to Humphrey tonight. The first goal came from one. Was poor in the air to be fair. Played decent with his back to goal tonight. I actually think he's better on the deck than in the air.

    Good luck to him, thought he was a trier, but we need to signing players who are a lot better. I'd be very surprised if the St J story was true.
