I know that big J Souttar has signed a extention and we have big Fern. With that, we are going to require poss 2 or 3 centre halfs in the summer window. We have also been looking for a no 6.
I think it would be a no brainer to put a wee cheeky half mill to a mill bid for big Gogic. Would run through a brick wall for our club. would be excellent squad player imho.

We're also going to need a right back, a left back cover, 2 wingers, and a new strike force.

I always want my players for a position to be challenging the other in that position, and not a squad player. I just don't see Gogic doing that, so it is a no from me. Not snobbery either, as I can see he does a job for St Mirren, but normally in the middle of a back 3, where the others can provide cover for him.
btw not my words but those of Scott Arfield this afternoon.

Correct, Angus, nothing to do with snobbery, just he isn't the required standard for us. ?

Gogic - good journeyman, but he won't improve our team/squad.

Would only ever be a squad player, and hopefully Souttar will have that role with 2 new starters.

I have thought about Gogic and think you're correct about what you're saying. My only issue is that I think he's now 33 years old. Some may say, look at Weir, etc., but I think the ship has sailed and we need to look to the future.

If Gogic was mid 20s I'd say go get him. But no.
16 Mar 2026 10:00:31
Kaiser, are you dropping Fernandez as well then, if you're getting 2 new starters?
16 Mar 2026 11:07:27
Maybe just being greedy OT. ? I like Manny, but he could also be off according to some. We need 2 CBs anyway, so why not aim for 2 upgrades rather than 1 and a backup.

We need at least one first choice centre back alongside Fernandez so that Souttar, if he stays, becomes a squad player and not first choice. Signing Gogic is not the answer, although I will say yesterday was the best he has played against us. He had Chermiti and Naderi in his back pockets, and was finding it so easy he was patting them on the back like weans when he took the ball off them.
That doesn't make him great, it just shows how poor they both were. He'll probably go to Aberdeen in the summer.
