Super_Ally 0 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 We do need an nemesis for calscot. I reckon the friction between your two antithetical poles of perspective could replace oil in energy generation! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,182 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 stv suggesting we'll sign two players today. Assume Davidson is the other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 0 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Why are we paying this much for a mediocre SPL player when we wouldn't go higher than 400k for Miller or Rodriguez? As for Davidson, oh joy, a St Johnstone player. We're aiming high. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon the friction between your two antithetical poles of perspective could replace oil in energy generation! I'll leave Calscot alone. I'm too nice a guy to begin a war with optimists.

As for Davidson, oh joy, a St Johnstone player. We're aiming high. Cheaper wages, sell-on value, experience of the league. We've bought plenty gems from lower level Scottish clubs.

Frankie 8,182 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 We once signed a player from Raith Rovers, you know. Bobby Russell joined from Shettleston Juniors and helped secure the treble in his first season IIRC. OK, the game has changed a bit since the late 70s but players can develop and improve after moving on from 'smaller' teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Ally 0 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Never paid much attention to Davidson. What's his strengths and weaknesses then. Stood out to anyone here when we've played them or does anyone here go to their games if there's not game at Ibrox? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 0 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 We once signed a player from Raith Rovers, you know. Indeed, but the game, as Frankie alludes to, has changed. The SPL is quite abysmal these days. Scottish football used to be a lot better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
laudrup11 0 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Nacho Novo came from Dundee after a spell at Raith just one of a few recent examples of players who can make step up Marvin Andrews is another might not have been the signings every fan craved but both had good successful spells with us.
