CHOW87 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I remember being excited by the signing of Ricky Gillies but he was a big disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityDave Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Greg Tansey, first time around. Hyped him just a bit on here with his ability to score goals from distance and being ex Liverpool a younger version of Steven Gerrard. Had a decent start then looked very light weight as our opponents found out they could easily out muscle him on the ball, seemed to lose confidence and faded then left. Came back to us at the start of last season a more confident and stronger player both physically and mentally and along with Ross Draper formed one of the best central midfield pairings in the Premiership. Tade - my opinion of him changed more times than I change socks. Gregory Tade, I thought he was rubbish, how wrong I was, .....no I was right first time, no....he's genius, ''eh.. what?... he really is an enigma'', ''um....he's quick, ''er...Oi!, the goal is that direction Gregory'', ''that Tade is some player, good skill and pace on the lad''. ''Why did he try to take the wing mirror of that lorry on the A9,..was that really a shot on goal?''. Tade was quick and a handful for any defence, but the lad had no sense of direction,....which explained his move to St. Johnstone. Had Tade not left we might never have seen goal machine Billy McKay.

RandomGuy. Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Adam Morgan, had high hopes for him until I realised he searched his own name on Twitter and seemed to make a living off playing one game for Liverpool Did he not make some comment on Twitter after a Liverpool game saying they'd have won if he'd been playing, and then got absolutely slaughtered for it?

Kyle Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Did he not make some comment on Twitter after a Liverpool game saying they'd have won if he'd been playing, and then got absolutely slaughtered for it? I think he said he would've scored a hat trick if he'd been presented with the chances Sturridge had missed. Morgan even got consoling words from Ian Beale on Twitter after being sent off for our development squad. He's a goalscoring superstar. In his own head.

RandomGuy. Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Ian Beale I forgot about all that We should get him back for the entertainment tbh, his warm up in Inverness early on was hilarious. Smash shots from outside box, miss target every time. Smash shots as hard as you can from 6 yards away, hit the back of the net, then stare at the fans as if you've made a point Absolutely made my day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Pretty much everyone signed by Gerry Collins based on 2 pre season games where we beat Ayr 6-1 and Bradford 4-2. Thought they were all going to be magnificent bar James Grady who would be shite. Grady scored about 15 goals in a dreadful team, and some of the guys I thought would be great: Jean-Yves Anis, Stephane Bonnes, Jakup Mikkelsen, Stuart Taylor etc etc. More recently based on his first season with us I thought Aaron Muirhead was going to be a star, he's not a total diddy but struggled badly with the step up.

Tade was quick and a handful for any defence, but the lad had no sense of direction,....which explained his move to St. Johnstone. Had Tade not left we might never have seen goal machine Billy McKay. He was top goalscorer in the Romanian Liga 1 this season with 18 goals for CFR Cluj (he scored 2 the season before, in roughly the same amount of appearances, but half were from there bench). They finished 3rd and he'd be playing European football next season if they never declared insolvency half way through the season and got papped out of Europe for that.

RandomGuy. Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Tade I'll always remember him for missing about thirty one-on-ones against Aberdeen before scoring the most difficult one, and for absolutely rag dolling the Celtic defence in the 2-1 win that kick started that season, one of the most dominant performances from a Saints striker I've ever seen against them.

Pull My Strings Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Sergio. The first Brazilian forward to play in the Scottish top flight, brought in at great expense, then scored a colossal 3 goals in a season before Jim got on the phone to the authorities who refused to let him bad into the country. Recently, Skacel deserves a mention is despatches. Eh? Sergio was excellent, it was the rest of the team, or rather the manager, which was shite. Sergio arrived in January and scored 4 goals in 16 games, two of which (away to Falkirk and Hearts) were absolute beauties. Unfortunately he played in the most disorganised, hapless United team of the past 35 years. Not the worst United team, it was chockfull of very good players, but it was an absolute shambles and led by an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebbes20silkcut Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Ian Cameron, I was gutted was an excellent player at st mirren, but was so injury prone at pittodrie he once broke his wrist opening a bottle of coke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one m in Motherwell Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Brian Kerr. He'd the pedigree of being at Newcastle, and (I think) a Scotland cap, so I had high hopes. Despite a rocket of a goal against Celtic in a 4-4 draw, he was largely pish. Got the impression he just couldn't be bothered with little things like teamwork, application, effort - total haddie. Josh Law is the opposite - signed with little fanfare from the English Conference with much speculation of him only getting picked up due to Stuart McCall being friends with his dad. Suffered badly from some ridiculous team selections (probably every position other than goalie) but once settled into a RB slot under Baraclough he's looked a lot more assured. Will be interesting to see if he can push on a bit this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I thought Kris Boyd was going to be a waste of money when we brought him back over from the USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Gandosaur Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Caballero second time around. Shadow of a player from his first spell. Simon Ferry seemed to do well for Swindon a couple of season ago. Come to us last summer via Portsmouth and turned out to be injury prone horseshite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Balboa Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 David Gray I thought was going to be journeyman shite when he signed but he was quality last season and is now vice captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well fan for life Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Paul Lawson. Looked great for County, thought he'd be the holding midfielder we were crying out for. Turns out he's made of balsa wood, and his legs fall apart at the first sign of a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Agree regarding Greg Tansey. He was so timid during his first spell at the club. He's the first name on the team sheet these days. Absolutely strolls through games, particularly against the jobber clubs like Kilmarnock, Ross County, Hamilton Accies etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I thought Gardyne arriving back on loan last was just a desperate attempt by the club to appease the fans after the disastrous start and Adams' sacking. Turns out he is still a brilliant genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fife Saint Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I remember thinking Paul Sheerin was rubbish for a season. His god-like qualities then came to the fore and myself and others were smited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
