    I’m trying to think if we’ve ever had a signing from Scotland that didn’t go well

    Rudi Skacel, VVD, Fraser, Stu ...
    ... Steven Davis :1980_boogie_down:

    No duffers there

    You’re forgetting Neil McCann. Winger signed from Rangers. F*cking atrocious.

    Soon became Neil McCann’t.

    Don’t say anything bad about Artur Boruc either, you know what will happen…

    I know who he is, I didn’t get the impression he was on the wind up here though.

    As ever we’ll wait and see, every transfer has people who like it and people who don’t. Obviously most Saints fans will be optimistic about the deal but it’s pretty much guaranteed that at least 1 of our signings this window will be looked back on as poor in future years, who knows which at this point

    I am astonished at how badly he’s done to be honest. I saw him for rangers in the Europa league and he looked class. Yet for us he doesn’t look like he’s even played football before. Mental <laugh>

    Have been looking back through a few of the summer and Jan “Saint…” threads and there seems to be a running theme

    Tom loved every signing, we should’ve known what was coming

    Easily one of the worst players to play for us in the Premier League this century. Dreadful footballer.

    Yeah. I literally don’t think he’s even league one standard based on his performances for us so far. Genuinely atrocious.

    Who knows; maybe he can re-ignite his career in the championship? He would actually have to start running first though.

    I thought I would drag my post back up because I distinctly remember being unimpressed with his movement and technique in the video but did t want to say he looks ****. I have no clue what I wrote, maybe autocorrect took over. Crashing blue waves? WTF?

    I remember he scored a really good goal in the pre-season game against Villareal. He's been incredibly disappointing - I genuinely don't think he's **** but he was frozen out for a reason.

    Was that the one where he dribbled through the box with the ball stuck to his feet?

    Ha! McCann’t always reminds me of the friendly we had with Eastleigh when he played and my friend kept angrily shouting that at him when he was near us on the wing.

    Didn’t the rot set in when we let him go?
