Gribz 743 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 We've bought a fair amount of players from SPL clubs over the years, some good and some dumplings. I think this has been a small part of our downfall. Lets start a wee list of players who and state if they were a success or a dumpling. I'll go back as far as: Andy Goram - Absolute success Davie Robertson - success Neil McCann - success Gary Bollan - Dumpling Alex Cleland - 50/50 as he put in a few good shifts in the SPL Caniggia - Wasnt there long enough but made an impact Novo - 1 good season with 25 goals Over to the next person 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novo never came from an SPL team. Did Goram? I thought he came from down south. Canniggia- Dundee?

Gazza_8 233 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Goram was bought from Hibs. I think the majority of SPL buys have been a success. Every team signs a dumpling now and again and Gary Bollan was ours. Mind you Stephen Wright wasn't exactly a success but that was down to injuries rather than being shite like Bollan. If a good man manager signs a mediocre player he'll get into his head and make him feel like he's better than he is therefore getting the best out of him. MON did it many a time over at the pigsty. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gribz 743 Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 Pete, just players we have signed from other scottish clubs Stephen Wright was a bit unlucky with injuries. Duncan Ferguson didnt live up to his 4 million price tag Andrews - Didnt exactly shine but we could be done with him now as he gave 200% 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

calscot 0 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Rae - injured most of the time, not a success yet. Murray - good utility player but injured too much too. Boyd - gets a slagging but does put the ball in the net alsmost every time he plays. Kishinisvilli - never quite did it for us but reportedly doing well for Blackburn. Goram came from Hibs - absolute success Ian Ferguson - from St Mirren - reasonable success Billy Dodds - not bad but under achieved. Stevie Thomson - no. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
