Two in by Tuesday

Johnston has been training with Saints for the last few weeks and impressed as a trialist against Wigan. However, he played in central midfield - the last place we need to strengthen. If a couple of midfielders are leaving then fair enough, otherwise I see no reason for yet another one being brought in.

The smart money seems to be on the other signing being a leftback, despite MacPherson denying he was in the market for one at the weekend. Internet rumours suggest we could be after Stevie Hammell from Motherwell, with Queen of the South's Bob Harris being the other option. Perhaps if one comes in there is some truth in the rumours that Mo Camara is heading to Aberdeen.

If it's not a leftback we're signing, let's hope it's another centre half or a right winger, but knowing us we'll probably sign two central midfielders!
