We wanted him as a midfielder I think.I forgot about chasing Alan Smith....bullet dodged. It's like Derby beating us to the signature of Waghorn (who's now leaving for nothing).
It's sometimes nice being out bid

We didn't get our first choice picks.. even the ones from the SPL. Strachan covered his ineptitude with arrogance.Problem with strachan was that he badly over estimated how good Scottish football was compared to even the championship as he put together on paper an old firm dream team with the likes of Boyd McManus robson flood killen etc.
But it just highlighted how poor Scottish football is/was.
Tbf I thought Boyd and Thomson were great signings and wasn't surprised we were promotion favourites in 2010/11......didn't quite work out though!We didn't get our first choice picks.. even the ones from the SPL. Strachan covered his ineptitude with arrogance.
Barry Robson was good and I really liked Willo Flood.Tbf I thought Boyd and Thomson were great signings and wasn't surprised we were promotion favourites in 2010/11......didn't quite work out though!
Both we’re massive disappointments Boyd was the softest ‘big lad’ striker I’ve ever seen. Thompson just never looked the part.. he was no Malaury Martin that’s for sure!Tbf I thought Boyd and Thomson were great signings and wasn't surprised we were promotion favourites in 2010/11......didn't quite work out though!
as much as i like Southgate, I think if you look at the games when it matters mot England still lose, and I am not sure that will change this summer. Hope it does, would love to see a young England team win something and then hopefully build on that for the world cup, which we should be holding. FIFA could do with correcting some of the corrupt actions of the likes of Blatter by awarding us a world cup again.What is this based on then, great manager really.
let’s see how he handles the best England squad in a generation this summer before throwing phrases like great manager around.
Willo Flood was our entire creative attacking threat. He suffered an horrific knee dislocation that put end end to that. Meanwhile Emnes and Bennett had been chucked on the scrap heap because ‘they weren’t real men’ or something.. he should have been fired for that alone!!The Scots that came in struggled that was for sure. Except Barry Robson and to some extent Scott M.
Boyd was too slow and lacked much movement. The ball had to be put on a plate for him - then a good finisher. Thomson was injured a lot and when he returned opposition players just ran past him. McManus was a bit of a car horse, Flood always injured. Miller just too poor all round. The Old Firm players look better in Scotland because they are basically playing English Division 1 teams week in and out.
