So the feeling from the latest threads is that if we get a new striker in then we will have a better chance of staying up.

If so we need somebody with experience and the ability to still get goals on a regular basis. The problem as I see it is that to get an experienced striker in that we can afford it will probably mean somebody 30+ or from the SFL or another east european import. A loan deal will probably not get us the type of player we need.

In addition one may not be enough and we may need two so who do we think Brewster should be looking at getting in as there doesn't seem to be many obvious candidates out there?

Wyness, Elliot, Clarke, Bayne, Kirk, Weatherson, Grady, Dobbie ????

Kirk is only decent one out that lot. Pretty sure there's a latvian striker arriving tomorrow.

Start Adam Rooney.. then we only need one other striker to play alongside hime.

Aye its time Adam got a start

Yes - but Vits Rimkus is yet another short term solution.

Rooney doesnt need another stricker just needs a few games and the service into the box but if Brewster does get an experience one so be it - will only help young rooney

so is this the striker on trial then?

at 35 he is certainly experienced!!

looks like he knows the way to goal though, in 143 appearances for FK Ventspils he has scored 81 times, not a bad goal return.

DARGO Come back

aye that would be good if dargo would come back but i doubt it cos himself and wyness have a decent partnership at st mirren

Yeah both players are banging them in left and right

Wyness's son asked santa for his dad to score a wee goal! Please santa!?

I'd start Rooney but with an experienced striker alongside. My preference would have ben Deuchar but, as he's gone to Hamilton, Mark Burchill might not be a bad prospect until the end of the season.

I take it Craig was trying to bring Dargo back then.

Rooney for def, hopefully get dargo back

Mark Burchill wouldn't be a terrible idea. Pat Clarke is certainly proving himself at 1st division level despite Clyde being absolute rubbish but we don't need Dargo or Wyness back because they've only got 4 goals between them since joining St mirren.

Wonder if Jim Hamilton would be worth a punt. Or mayb'e Ben Hutchinson on loan from Celtic. He was VERY impressive for their reserve side when they came up here.

give Rooney or Wood a chance with 2 up front..maybe bring in Robbie Winters (out of contract) as a cheap alternative till the end of the season as experience required to get us out of this mess and help whoever else up front, Not a bad record in the SPL and Brann fans seem to have good words to say about him, might be getting slower but knows where the goal is when its needed.

I'm looking forward to seeing 2 strikers on the park, at the same time, again. Double the chances of scoring a goal !

I thought i heard that Robbie Winters had signed for Livi but maybe i could be wrong

David Winters I believe....

Livi Signings

His brother David has signed for Livi.

Robbie is still without a club think he's been training with Killie and most recently Hamilton.

Dargo signed a 2 year deal for St Mirren in 2007 did he not? That means his contract runs out in the Summer. Might be worth a cheeky bid!! Then again he moved for geographical reasons

He's hardly been prolofic over the last couple of seasons.

'Ralph Milne' mentioned Dargo a few times (check his posts). I'd be surprised if a move wasn't on the cards

While a fit Dargo would be a huge asset, I feel we were lucky with him last time round as far as injuries are concerned, he has been plagued his whole career, would we be so lucky the second time around?

If we're bringing back old strikers how about Niculae, Stevie?

Hello guys. Looks like you don't know it yet... Latvian striker Andrejs Butriks from FK Ventspils is on trial by you now Not Rimkus, who is scoring again and again in a pre-season tournament in Russia (4 goals in 2 games).

If we're bringing back old strikers how about Niculae, Stevie? :thumb04:

Not much chance of that mate unless he wants to move his managerial career a few years forward
