Croft signs - confirmed


Recommended Posts

Teams starting to take shape now. Need another full back, centre half, winger and striker. Centre mid too if Youseff doesnt extend!

 

So at the minute we are looking at

 

Cisak

Brown

Mvoto

Tarky

Grounds

Millar

Furman

Wes

Croft

Simmo

Taylor

 

 

Players like Winchester Mellor Bouzanis Smith to come in!

Brilliant. Losing Flip Flap Fil won't hurt us now. I wonder if PD was lining this up expecting Morais to refuse the new contract? Got the basis of a good squad here. Add a LW and striker who knows where that big netty thing is and we're looking pretty good.

 

And when we find that striker, can we please retire the No17 shirt. It's a jinx I tells ya.

Why didn't he ctach at Derby? even when they were struggle a couple of seasons back. Anyway for me Flip flap for the most part did nowt, flashes yes the odd good game yes. So without seeing Crfty play for years I'd stick my neck out and say we've get the better man in. Most likely been haggling with Derby to how much they'll pay towards his keep.

And young Belezika should make an impact too.

so, having read through an 11-page Lee Croft thread on the st johnstone forum, the general consensus is:

  • He's direct
  • can pick a pass
  • great crossing ability
  • pacey
  • tracks back well
  • he's miles better than their best winger in recent times (fil morais)
  • great footballing brain
  • a class above st johnstone
  • always looks to get the game going when it goes flat
  • their season fell apart when he did his hamstring

and all while he was about 3 stone overweight (their words)

 

sounds like a class signing to me!!

 

 

 

Well done to corney, dickov ect,!

A lot of disappointed Scots on their transfer thread.

Lee Sinnott is going to be embarrassed after this. He tweeted that if we signed Lee Croft he would buy a season ticket and get a paul Dickov tattoo. My better half has now offered to book the tattoo for him in the morning and I'll be driving him to BP to pay for his ST. :dance:

 

The season long loan bit might see him safe on a technicality.

Well feck me - read all the posts, all the rumours and all the links and TBH thought it was pipe dream stuff really. Amazed we've managed to get him in, wages wise and also talking the player into joining us. Fantastic.

 

Now, over to Crofty himself to get himself fit & in-shape...and PD and the backroom team to get the best out of him. They did it last season with Simpson, I hope they're able to do it again with Lee Croft. If they do - cracking player & cracking signing.

Reminds me of Andy Robinson to Tranmere this signing. And he's clearly the Trannies best player, and despite slowing down, gaining weight after sustaining injuries he's still technically one of the better players in the division, hope Croft can make the same impact.
