Got it wrong with Warburton (i’m sure most of us did). Got it wrong with Halliday, I still think he’s one of the weakest parts of the squad but I previously said he had no business being here and that was wrong, he can clearly make a contribution. I got it spectacularly wrong with Kevin Thomson, I was gutted we’d signed him instead of Lego, reality is Thomson was fantastic and far better than Lego when fit.
After many heated debates I have to say I got it absolutely spot on with Josh Windass and Barrie McKay. Also got it spot on with Morelos and Cummings (the vast numbers who preferred ‘cumdog’ will never own up to it now anyway). Starting to sound like a know it all but I also said Martin would be a poor signing at the time and was met with quite a bit of opposition. Called it right with Aluko, I’d seen him up close from the west enclosure and knew he had quite a bit of ability, his singing was largely ridiculed at the time.
Edit: forgot to add Lafferty to the list. Said it was a strange buy and there was no way he was better than Morelos, was given the old “ah but if he scored x amount for Hearts how many would he score for us!”, explained that it doesn’t work like that, and well....here we are. So yeah I’m called that one right too.
