We should know by now that no signing is a guaranteed success. We’ve had all sorts of results that don’t equate with what we thought when we signed them.
What is important is how they actually play and really how the overall team operates.
The only ‘type’ of signing that we should hope for are ones that improve the team.

The type of signing we should be looking for is ones that we need, can take us forward, are wanted by others. You know, like Mccrorie, or Nisbit, or Gogic, Doidge.
I don't think this is the type we should be going after when we desperately need a quality player in that role. That's all.

Who’s to say we aren’t looking for they types of signings still? I’m sure we can look at more than one player at the same time. Not that we had to use any resources to find S Mcginn
A back up does improve the team when they’re needed. It improves the squad as a whole. A great choice and experience to bring off the bench.

In any case you were saying even if he did well you wouldn’t be happy with signings like that.
Signings that do well are exactly what we should be happy with.
I don’t think anyone is saying this is going to be signing of the season but the other way it is a bit odd to be unhappy about bringing in some cheap back up. There’s really no particular downside to it.

What the Hamilton and St Mirren Covid acres have showed us is that it might well be a squad game this season. As such. Pretty delighted to get another experienced proven pro into the squad

Good signing. He's played at a good standard and adds depth to an area of the squad where we are lacking.

It isn’t exactly a model we follow for every signing is it? As a short term thing in this environment it is sensible enough. When you add in that Ross clearly trusts him and his input it is frankly a bit baffling why anyone could get particularly negative about it.
An old guy at 31? Not really.

Then look at the ones who were young, raw, talented, energetic, could improve. Significantly outweighs anything else.
We have enough midfielders who can contribute here and there. Who can cover this position or that one. It's a real quality player we need and are hopefully focused on getting. Mcginn would make sense as a cheap option when our team was sorted and we have extra money for a body. I don't think we are there yet.

Do you not think McGinn would have walked into that midfield and improved it?
I accept you're demanding high standards and you want to improve our first XI - so do I, and that's why I'll be miffed our business is finished here. I don't think it is though.
McGinn will play a part - not necessarily a 90 minutes every week part. Last season we ended up getting a lot more out of Whittaker than we had the previous 2 seasons, once we realised how best to use him and keep him injury free. McGinn might actually be able to offer us more being called upon occasionally rather than being a first pick every week.
I'm not seeing the downside here. We've signed a squad player. Every club needs squad players. If he forces his way in and earns a bigger role then even better. Ross will have seen this guy at close quarters, sees how he is relative to our current players and will have been able to decide exactly whether or not this is a justifiable addition - and has clearly decided based on that that he is. I'm fine with that.

Absolutely nothing wrong with discussing the merits of a signing.

Yeah so welcome to the club, Stephen.
Glad that your mum and dad don't have to choose which son's game they have to miss anymore. One heads to England, one to ER. 💚

I trust Jack Ross addition of a player he knows well. A good experienced pro is a welcome addition to the squad for me.
Clearly there are some on here that can’t wait to write their first after match “waste of money” posts about him, but for me he is a good experienced addition that will help on and off the field.

In a season where we will suffer the usual injuries and suspensions but also the unknown impact of covid 19, testing, quarantining against a back drop of no fans and reduced income then signing an experienced pro who knows the league, as a pool player makes absolute sense. I actually think we may need to rely on other similar type players to get us through the season. We could still be ravaged by covid and players of this type could prove vital. We need a squad, a pool, it cant all be first team signings. St Mirren team on Saturday was the perfect example how part of your team can be affected. Let's get behind him and cheer him on if and when required.
