Boyata will end up leaving. We will then be without our "best" centre half. We will not sign a replacement just like we won't for Roberts. We will be short in several positions. The quality will be no better. Bet we sign one more player. We need more if we have trimmed the squad. It isn't any stronger than it was.

See as long as we are better than Sevco then half our support are happy enough. (Same would go for Sevco fans)
It's true in many ways a huge chunk of both sets of fans are equally obsessed with the other club.
The SPL is a joke, Hibs conceded 4 to a team from Faroe Islands, Adam Rooney leaving the 2nd best side to go to Salford on 4k a week.
Yet people are content dominating this joke of a league and getting almost 10 put past you on Europe as if that's acceptable.

The argument about having a whole load of centre backs isn’t justifiable. We may have plenty but they’re not all of the quality we need. Ajer is the only player of class that we have in CB. Arguing Tierney can play there but that means moving him out of position and in turn weakening us going forward. We need to strengthen, players need to come in soon.

How can you say boyata is our best CB then say ajer the only player of class there?
Also we have replaced Roberts with morgan.
22 Jul 2018 13:22:33
Saying best is based on BR saying this and most likely tongue in cheek from the OP
But what’s funny is saying Morgan is a replacement for Roberts, Morgan imo is behind Mikey Johnston already and here is hoping he can step up as last year when St Mirren played SPL teams he went MIA.

Kev83, there is the problem. We replaced Roberts valued st £10mill with Morgan who cost us £300k. In my opinion we are weaker than last season. The idea is surly to strengthen.

Kev T what exactly did Roberts do last season?
When he was fit he played as back up to James Forrest, exactly what Morgan will be doing this season.
As for your opinion about Mikey being ahead I can't see how you came up with that idea seeing as none of them have played much for our first team and Morgan has been playing at a higher level than Johnstone for years.

I make my opinions on what I’ve seen when I’ve watched them play
Morgan is a St Mirren level player in the championship, Roberts already proved his level was far higher the year before.

Tbh i think the Roberts argument is ridiculous. He was never our player anyway.
I get the point though maybe we should go for better but getting him was maybe unrealistic.

Ken, why are you so negative re our defence . You have no idea whether Boyata is for the road or stays.
