Interesting. I was sure Alnwick would sign and Maxwell would walk, particularly with us getting deep into negotiations on signing Alnwick permanently and Maxwell being offered a deal on less money. As I said at the time I think Maxwell probably realised he wasn't going to get a better offer than ours (particularly a two year deal) and signed very quickly, which then muddied the water with Alnwick who, going from his interview on the St Mirren website, wants to be guaranteed the number one jersey. Also notable that Alnwick's best mate is due to sign with them as well.
I think Alnwick was ok and would have happily had him sign permanently, so hopefully Critchley has something up his sleeve as although Maxwell has impressed since arriving I'm not 100% sold on him (preferred Alnwick).
