TerryMcDermott Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 To my mind, all the signs are pointing to Ronan coming in on a 12 month loan by the end of this week. Ronan has stated he’s open to a loan this season having been able to impress in pre-season, we’ve apparently taken McGrath off the wish list and Goodwin has previously stated Ronan’s a target so i think its fair to assume there’s some substance here. You never do know, but that’s certainly my guess. 1 1 Link to comment

Shinniesta Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 I can't remember a single poster on here saying they wanted McGrath to sign this summer. He clearly hasn't had a look in at Wigan. I'm pretty sure if he was a priority target Goodwin would have secured him long before now. Link to comment
North_Andy_Dandy Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 As most have said already if we really wanted McGrath I’m sure we would have made a serious play by now. Personally I’m not fussed that he’s not coming here. He was a Glass target, obviously the link with Goodwin is there. But I’m not sure if he fits into our signing policy. In my eyes it would been seen as ‘lazy recruitment’. Link to comment

Would be a bit weird him travelling up to Scotland to sign for United but popping past Cormack park first. Link to comment

I think our interest this time around was luke warm though. But, if he signs for the DABS, then never let his name be mentioned again. I don’t actually think he’s that good. Take away the penalties in his first season at St Mirren and what’s left? His second season there wasn’t great. Couldn’t get near a League One team. I’d be “meh” if we signed him now. 1 1 Link to comment

starryfish Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Didn’t Goodwin say a couple of weeks ago he was in discussions with a couple of his ex players? I’d assumed McGrath and Ronan. Maybe big Joe Shaughnessy on his way home Link to comment

I would have Davenport as the third choice of the three but perhaps mandated by the board to favour having our own players rather than loans Link to comment

He’s made of poppadoms I think it would be a pointless signing. Although Coulson had a pretty good debut Ive said the same about him. The squad is in fairly good shape. Our last 1-2 signings should be game changers Link to comment
