FlippinEck 3,708 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Bit underwhelming. Thought Hladky had potential to be a number one. This guy is just a decent back up. McCrorie must be cert for the future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrshireranger 8,153 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Happy. Good keeper, vg backup and wouldn't worry if he took over as regular if McGregor was injured for any length. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laudrupsleftfoot 10,951 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 As a back up keeper who will likely play a maximum of 5 games a season he's not a bad signing at all. As a keeper to challenge McGregor for a starting position he'd be one of the most underwhelming signings in our history for me. Certainly not including the seasons we weren't in the top league.

KingKirk 25,665 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 He's played at a higher level than the st.mirren lad welcome Jon I love how we are doing business not a word from anyone about this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was probably linked/suggested as an Old Firm club's #1 goalie at some point. Happy with this as a back up keeper, also a good point about needing Scottish players for Europe. Now that we've got the back up LB and back up GK sorted out, let's move on to RW, CM and ST. We only need 3 more signings and they all need to be quality now. I don’t think he counts towards our quota in Europa league as he wasn’t trained in Scotland.

I wonder if we'll look to loan him out to another premier league side. McLaughlin should be a good backup to McGregor, while mccrorie gets more experience. Im sure I seen somwhere he is going back to livi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, wasn't going to be number 1 this season and rightly so, a loan to a top division team and let him get a full season under his belt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaka 1,677 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I like how we're doing our business so far. Only heard his name mentioned yesterday in connection to us. Everything was about him going to an English club and then we just stepped in and signed him... no fuss all business!

rfc_watp 1,503 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Always rated him at Hearts so quite pleased with this signing actually. Decent calibre of back up and probably not on a hefty wage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
British_Empire 9,648 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 More I think about it (after doing more homework on the guy) the happier I am. I dunno if he's the calibre of Foderingham as back-up, but it's unfair to expect Wes to play that role forever when he's still at a good age etc. I know people are underwhelmed by the signing, but signing back-up goalies usually are pretty meh signings that go under the radar at the best of times. I get that Hagi aside fans are expecting more but the windows not really opened yet and we've made some of the more unpopular/less spectacular signings right away with the back-up left back, back-up goalkeeper and a couple of lads for the Colt's side. Which is good as it means we should now be looking to really push on with the good signings that will enhance the XI now. Looking forward to this summers business tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I meant regarding the underwhelming comment, which I think I made clear, related to if he was signed as a potential number 1. If the scum signed him as their new number 1 I'd be absolutely buzzing. My preference would have been someone to come in who is already, or is potentially, a level above what McGregor is now to really push him for that spot. McLaughlin's not that, but as a back up keeper he's a good enough signing and I've no problem with it.  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
