This is not true - he was considered a highly rated youngster by many. He was a full international at 19 (Yeah, Scotland I know )Mate he was only ever highly rated by Stevie G and the fat Spanish waiter. Does that not ring alarm bells? He played a handful of games in a league of comparable standard to League 1/League 2. That was it. His signing was an absolute disgrace.
But whatever, you clearly have already made up your mind, so lets agree to disagree on that.
