Stephen Robinson has admitted James Bolton's transfer exit request caught him by surprise but insists St Mirren are close to landing replacement.
Stephen Robinson has admitted James Bolton's St Mirren transfer exit request caught him by surprise but insisted the Fleetwood Town transfer deal was sanctioned with"one eye on something else".
"It was disappointing to lose him because I thought we had our squad set," said Robinson after St Mirren's 1-0 pre-season win over Dunfermline."If everyone's not going in the same direction, it just doesn't work. "It was a family decision, he's based down there and he had the opportunity to move a lot closer to home. I understand it. I've been a footballer.
On the new additions, he said: "We knew Ellery Balcombe was a top class goalkeeper. He gives us a new added dimension playing out from the back."Oisin Smyth and Shaun Rooney have not played for 10 or 12 weeks, so they're a bit behind everybody. They still showed their quality. "You knew within two minutes, O'Hara smashed him so brilliant, it gets everyone knowing it's not just a friendly game and it's going to be competitive - I enjoyed that side of it."We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
