Big_Bald_Si Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 I reckon we should be thinking about making a bid for this chap: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14286377.stm £2 million seems quite reasonable considering his scoring record. Also, can you imagine having Goodwillie and Guly up front? Could you get a more comic sounding strike partnership?
fish fingers Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 Agreed, especially now his Badwillie has been thrown out.
stevegrant Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 His scoring record's good, but has to be put into context. It's in the SPL. Many players have scored plenty of goals up there and then failed to do anything of any note when they've moved south of the border. Take the likes of Scott McDonald and Kris Boyd as prime examples, both scored goals for fun for Celtic and Rangers respectively, but couldn't buy a goal last season for Middlesbrough (or Forest, while on loan, in Boyd's case).
Big_Bald_Si Posted 28 July, 2011 Author Posted 28 July, 2011 Agreed, especially now his Badwillie has been thrown out. Had this been posted on facebook, it'd have been a "like" from me
SFCDan Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 Horrible attitude problems and thus far only good in the SPL (where Kris Boyd could choose how many goals he fancied scoring whenever he played)

I note what you're saying, but Scott McDonald and Kris Boyd played for Celtic and Rangers respectively, where chances are obviously going to be made for them given the gulf in quality with the rest of the SPL. Goodwillie plays for Dundee
Viking Warrior Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 scottish football is pishh. this guy will not cut the mustard in the championship
S-Clarke Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 He'll be another Anthony Stokes if he moves to England.
jjsaint Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 I've thought about this guy, £2m is probably a bit steep for someone unproven at this level. £1 million an reasonable wage demands, maybe he's worth it.
SaintNeil90 Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 Skacel looked good in Scotland. Case closed. Skacel was good. He didn't score goals like he did in the video because saints never him played in that position!
scotty Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 I reckon we should be thinking about making a bid for this chap: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14286377.stm £2 million seems quite reasonable considering his scoring record. Also, can you imagine having Goodwillie and Guly up front? Could you get a more comic sounding strike partnership? Out of interest, do you happen to be his agent?
a1ex2001 Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 The money could be much better spent elsewhere, obviously there is the slim possibility he will move to the championship and be a massive success by recent evidence from players making similar moves suggests not. We would be better off buying a proven league on striker or sticking with the ones we have as the quality level doesn't seem to be that different!
This Charming Man Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 Even Rangers are reluctant to meet Dundee's price. I wouldn't be overly happy if we splashed out £2m plus on him. The Championship is a far superior league to the SPL, minus the Old Firm and as already said before, plenty of other strikers have failed down here after flourishing up there.
Chez Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 there are players that have impressed in the SPL and have subsequently been a success down here. Rangers don't have two brass farthings to rub together, hence the quibbling over the £2m fee.
Marsdinho Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 Look at Ally McCoist record when he came down south to play for Sunderland... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ally_McCoist
Matthew Le God Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 tbf to McCoist that was very early in his career. If he had moved at his peak, he would have done quite well in the English top flight I think.
AndyNorthernSaints Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 Bloke is a knob on and off the pitch. Jamie Murphy at Motherwell would be a better bet and alot cheaper.

They've been taken over and have around £8-10m to spend and have spent little of that so far.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 We should NEVER sign a player with a surname like that...never. That is all.
ericofarabia Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 Also, can you imagine having Goodwillie and Guly up front? Could you get a more comic sounding strike partnership? Cant we get him in on loan just for one match just to make this happen
Saint Billy Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 We should NEVER sign a player with a surname like that...never. That is all. Agreed! No such thing as a good willie.
VectisSaint Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 Also, can you imagine having Goodwillie and Guly up front? Could you get a more comic sounding strike partnership? Speedie and Dixon ?
SaintAndy14 Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 Not so sure about this guy - I know it's bad to judge but has just been in court over an alleged rape (although there wasn't enough evidence to charge him) and doesn't seem to have a particularly good attitude. Looks a bit of a pretty boy with another shockingly bad arm tattoo which everyone seems to be getting these days!
Leslie Charteris Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 Not the sort of person to stay on the bus, I think, and he'd probably get homesick this far South!
Crowds Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 Name 5 recents Scotts right now u'd sign bar... Charlie Adam that are proven in England no thanks!
Dr Who?

Goodwillie plays for Dundee Dundee United thank you very much!!!
stu0x Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 I know it's bad to judge but has just been in court over an alleged rape (although there wasn't enough evidence to charge him) If there wasn't enough evidence to charge him, then he hasn't really been 'in court'. The disparity between rape allegations (and arrests) and subsequent charges is pretty huge. And contrary to what the bleeding-heart liberal press would have you believe, it's usually because the allegation wasn't true in the first place. So yes, it's bad to judge.

I don't know about the 'bleeding-heart liberal press' - I'm just going by what SSN have reported! Sorry, just letting people know who may not! Despite the rape claims against him, he doesn't seem particularly nice anyway, so I don't mind judging!
FalkirkSaint Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 Name 5 recents Scotts right now u'd sign bar... Charlie Adam that are proven in England no thanks! Darren Fletcher, Steven Fletcher, Phil Bardsley, James Morrisson, Craig Gordon, Alan Hutton, Kris Commons, Graham Dorrans, Shaun Maloney, Chris Iwelumo....?
Graffito Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 Yes. Spurs for several months were Bent and Keane. Saints had Crouch and Poke.
Gorgiesaint Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 Darren Fletcher, Steven Fletcher, Phil Bardsley, James Morrisson, Craig Gordon, Alan Hutton, Kris Commons, Graham Dorrans, Shaun Maloney, Chris Iwelumo....? But apart from them, what have the Romans ever done for us?
Gorgiesaint Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 Yes they do. They've been taken over and have around £8-10m to spend and have spent little of that so far. They've been taken over - that is correct. They have £8-10m to spend - well not so sure about that, the new owner has done a lot of talking but is yet to put his hand in his pocket (and I'm not counting re-signing David Weir at 41 for another season as putting his hand in his pocket). Rangers are very weak this season compared to Celtic and I suspect that it won't be long before they turn on the new owner. I venture that they'll start that on the final whistle of the first Old Firm game of the season when they get humped by Celtic. I may yet be proved wrong, but I don't think they've got the proverbial pot to pee in, hence being outbid for Kenny Miller.
scotty Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 Name 5 recents Scotts right now u'd sign bar... Charlie Adam that are proven in England no thanks! I resent that.
Crazy Diamond Posted 29 July, 2011 Posted 29 July, 2011 Blackburn are after him, seems they've lowered their targets from Ronaldinho etc.

I may yet be proved wrong, but I don't think they've got the proverbial pot to pee in, hence being outbid for Kenny Miller. They've singed a couple of players. I think they pulled out of signing Miller because he didn't want a backlash from the fans. That wouldn't be good for the chairmans current charm offensive. Will be interesting to see what they do money wise if they fail to qualify for the CL - which is looking likely.
supersonic Posted 29 July, 2011 Posted 29 July, 2011 Yes. Spurs for several months were Bent and Keane. Villa's strikers last season were Young and Bent in terms of signing this chap, no thanks. He's sc*ttish, so therefore ****e. End of.
SaintRichmond Posted 29 July, 2011 Posted 29 July, 2011 Villa's strikers last season were Young and Bentin terms of signing this chap, no thanks. He's sc*ttish, so therefore ****e. End of. Not really feasible having a Bent Goodwillie is it ??

Bolokov Posted 30 July, 2011 Posted 30 July, 2011 Idiot I thought he made a good point. Anyways, looks like hes of to blacksburn.
AndyNorthernSaints Posted 30 July, 2011 Posted 30 July, 2011 I thought he made a good point. Anyways, looks like hes of to blacksburn. A good point? He's Scottish, so therefore ****e. Pretty stupid remark IMO.
saint lard Posted 30 July, 2011 Posted 30 July, 2011 I had this fella down in the HCDAJFU thread. I still think he would be a useful aquisition,but at a sensible price,not the ones being bandied about right now.
SNSUN Posted 30 July, 2011 Posted 30 July, 2011 Saints had Crouch and Poke. I met Michael Poke's uncle the other day. Use this tidbit of useless info as you will.
Bakovnetski Posted 1 August, 2011 Posted 1 August, 2011 Not on the market anymore. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14344125.stm
