    He was a good player but he had a lot of off field issues , mainly splitting with his wife and a fondness for a bevvy every night.

    Forgot about him. Absolute rubbish. If I remember he came on a season loan with a clause to buy for about £7m & claimed that he was going to prove he was worth breaking our transfer fee record for. MO'N punted him back to wherever the * he came from. Thank *.

    I disagree with Roy Keane's and Dublin's mentions. Roy Keane did reasonably well, especially at Ibrox when he had that * ferguson and the whole huns midfield in his pocket.

    Dublin did ok for a 50 year old man.

    Berkovic (Thought he started well but lost his way without Henke)

    Gravesen (Thought he'd at least be suited to Scottish game but we never really got to see him beyond Hartleys arrival, consider how many chances Broony got)

    Jarosik (For 2 years before he arrived he made decent strides in Europe and England but too ofter here he was playd behind Kenny Miller or wide left)

    Juninho (A player ideal for the 'Lubo role' that we hadnt filled in 2 years but again was played wide left and dissapointed, playing behind HArtson and Sutton didnt suit his style either)

    Don't know why some people are saying Dion Dublin, he came here for nothing as backup on a short contract, scored a few decent goals (CIS Final) and was solid in the couple of times he played in defence. He was better than I thought he would be.

    Thank * someone else thinks the same as me! I couldn't believe what I was reading after his debut "he is far superior to any other midfielder we have" blah blah... He has done * all apart from sit on the bench!

    The Spl is too rough and tough for him at the minute,that is why he is sitting on the bench and being used as a counter balance in case someone gets up and the bench topples :icon_mrgreen:

    i for one need to see more of the wee man,am sure he will have to work on body strengh before he fits in,then we can have a full run down in his ability
