tlg1903 Posted August 23, 2012 Report Posted August 23, 2012 They regrettably are tlg, it's just where we are. We can aim higher of course but based on the last couple seasons . . . . I'm feeling really optimistic about this season, the balance of the squad is really coming together nicely and the more the team plays together the better they will get. I think we have a real chance to finish top 3 Quote
jmo Posted August 23, 2012 Report Posted August 23, 2012 He did well when he came on Yesterday I thought, I would have liked to see him play for us more often. Don't really like the idea of loaning a player to one of our league rivals either. Quote
RDU_64 Posted August 23, 2012 Report Posted August 23, 2012 I think this move could be a good move for all parties concerned. If Pawlett wasn't going to get much game time with Hayes, Fraser and McGinn all before him in the pecking order then heading oot on loan was the best thing for him. We don't play St Johnstone again until the 22nd of December and even when we do, I very much doubt he'll be allowed to play against us. He'll be playing SPL football for hopefully the next 6 months (barring injuries and suspensions), hopefully he'll be able to find the form that he showed a couple of seasons ago and come back to Pittodrie a fitter and more confident player, ready to really push on and claim a first team place again.

Jute Posted August 23, 2012 Report Posted August 23, 2012 Really do not like idea of loaning him to team that we will be competing with. No problem with putting him on loan but should been to 1st division team. Quote

The move is for 4 months and McGinn is out for 2 months. Makes no sense to me what so ever. Quote

Initial reaction is exactly the same as yours GS Can only assume there is another factor involved here about which we don't know, so on that basis I've decided to wait until closure of transfer window before I pass full judgement on the wisdom of this decision Quote

Quote
bloo_toon_red Posted August 24, 2012 Report Posted August 24, 2012 It worked in our favour for Chris Maguire and this is not necessarily any different. He's obviously not in Brown's plans and his injury record makes him very unreliable. This way we let St Johnstone take on the burden of keeping him fit and if they do, he might prove he's over it at last. It's a win-win situation in my opinion especially if it frees up a wage for half a season. Quote
Jute Posted August 24, 2012 Report Posted August 24, 2012 Hearing that Paton is away on loan as well now. Quote
Tyrant Posted August 24, 2012 Report Posted August 24, 2012 If that's true then there surely to fuck must be someone coming in who commands a hefty wage? Quote
BigAl Posted August 24, 2012 Report Posted August 24, 2012 Hearing that Paton is away on loan as well now. Morton have enquired about getting him on loan Paton belongs to Greenock apparently Quote
dave_min Posted August 24, 2012 Report Posted August 24, 2012 If that's true then there surely to fuck must be someone coming in who commands a hefty wage? Quote
dave_min Posted August 24, 2012 Report Posted August 24, 2012 Morton have enquired about getting him on loan Paton belongs to Greenock apparently Wasn't that a rumour under McGhee too, but Paton turned it down and was sent to Austria? Quote
BigAl Posted August 24, 2012 Report Posted August 24, 2012 Wasn't that a rumour under McGhee too, but Paton turned it down and was sent to Austria? Three day trial pre loan deal which once they'd had him for three days they decided not to follow up upon Quote
bloo_toon_red Posted August 24, 2012 Report Posted August 24, 2012 Wasn't that a rumour under McGhee too, but Paton turned it down and was sent to Austria? He turned down the chance to go to Dundee on loan and was then sent packing to Austria. Quote
bloo_toon_red Posted August 24, 2012 Report Posted August 24, 2012 So in short: No Dave. No Dave. But in fairness, I think the Morton thing happened just before he turned down the Dundee move. I seem to remember he was accused of sulking in not going to Dundee cos he didn't get to "go home to Greenock" or some such thing. Quote
glasgow sheep Posted September 3, 2012 Report Posted September 3, 2012 Best player on the park on Saturday according to my brother in law. Quote
glasgow sheep Posted September 30, 2012 Report Posted September 30, 2012 Not in the Saint Johnstone squad yesterday, don't tell me he is injured again. Quote
glasgowdon Posted September 30, 2012 Report Posted September 30, 2012 Not in the Saint Johnstone squad yesterday, don't tell me he is injured again. Hamstring injury. Quote
manc_don Posted September 30, 2012 Report Posted September 30, 2012 Hamstring injury. Back at the club I think they said yesterday. Quote
glasgowdon Posted September 30, 2012 Report Posted September 30, 2012 Back at the club I think they said yesterday. Aye, for his treatment. Quote
