To me my thinking makes perfect sense and i can see where Alexander is coming from calling them unprofessional for signing a keeper after failing his medical however i also think Alexander was bang out of order recommending a keeper to Tam when he was as culpable as any other player for Killie's relegation.
If my scenario above is correct i'm backing Tam over Alexander so it would be appreciated if people accept i only want the best for United and not every post i deliver is negative.
Do we know for certain that Rodgers was Alexander's 'choice of keeper'? Did he actually recommend we sign him?
