The ex-Utd player thread.

[JamesMcClean]

But you do agree that getting£3 million for a player who went to a league not any better than the one he left and couldn't get a game was good business???

A. We didn’t get £3m, probably not even close
B. It was part of a completely disjointed, unplanned transfer strategy
C. A lot of the money as it transpired went straight to the manager and his cronies and not the Club
D. It robbed us of a player who should have been the longer term replacement for another who was sold soon after
E. Frankly, it almost directly contributed to our relegation and the loss of a helluva lot more money than that that the transfer brought in originally.

So, in conclusion, no it wasn’t good business but we thank you for your continued interest peter.

The UEFA coefficient would probably disagree. Stop talking ****e.

Seems a very strange conclusion about a player who has played 7 top flight games in 6 years

As a Funster peter I wouldn’t even remotely expect you to understand. It’s way above your pay grade.

Just watching the Hibs v Dons game and Scott Alan replaced after 54 mins. Still might prove me wrong as he's still got age on his side but what a wasted talent. Wrongly advised? Who knows. Still made a lot of money I would imagine. Had the world at his feet and now struggling to keep his place in the Hibs side.

Outshone today by the Welsh boy Ryan Hedges, what a find by the Sheep, just the kind of player we need 😒

Second half hat trick during the week as well.

Simon Murray to Queens Park.

[tHeArAb]

Queens Park managed by Ray Mckinnon. F*ck me, I didn't even know that.

[LSArab]

Simon Murray to Queens Park.

I know others would disagree but I liked Simon Murray and he’s a local lad. I’m sure he’ll do well for QP

[tHeArAb]

Scott Fraser in talks with Hibs. Sunderland, Stoke, Hull, Rotherham & MK Dons all interested.

I always liked Simon Murray - sure, there are better strikers but you never doubted his effort and commitment and he weighed in a fair few goals.

If only his shot off the bar in the 2-2 draw with the Dees had been about one inch lower, I think that season would have gone quite differently. (that's just me though)

Bain saved that shot...but good you think that 😃😃

I've said it before - much as I hate to give the Dees credit, I count that result as being more instrumental in our relegation than the one you lads like to celebrate as though it was a cup win. (or possibly even better than a cup win, depending who you speak to)
