The left foot one was the "move all over the place" screamer, was it not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarapoa Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Joe Nuttall was one of these journeymen who came to the Dons and didn't cut it for whatever reason. I notice he's been playing and scoring for Blackburn in the Championship this season - so presumably had something to offer that McInnes couldn't get from him. See also Chris Forrester, Stephen Gleeson, Josh Parker, Nicky Maynard, Jeffrey Monakana etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly never made it up here but he’s not even close to being deemed a journeyman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think any of them are considered a “hero” anywhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ah-dee Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 The Andrew Shinnie who was playing so well for Caley that he played for Scotland? About 3 games for an admin riddled (at the time) joke Dundee side in the 1st Division isn't really a good gauge IMO.he played a lot more games for dundee than 3. never thought he was anything special and i did say at a push.

The thread title suggests players who have flopped in Scotland, so you go for someone who's been outstanding here over several seasons. I said with the exception of his time at QOS before he went down South. Pity he didn’t have the same concentration levels and attitude earlier in his career as he obvs has plenty ability which has been shown both down there and since his return.

SEETHING Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I remember seeing Martin Compston coming on as a sub for Morton at Palmerston. He was shite, but Line of Duty is quite popular in England these days, so fair play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but he earned his move south by being sensational over a sustained spell in Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I struggle to see how someone used to a warmer climate would shiver his tits off in Paisley but think Leicester was quite nice temperature-wise.

At the time I think he was still with Le Havre, which being on the English Channel probably still gets pretty cold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was disappointed that we didn't try to retain him at the time. His end product was lacking but he was always a spark when he played. I could see why people were skeptical of him going on to do really well but he was easily better than most wingers we had in that league and was very young.
