6 months of cutting inside and unleashing arsehole winders won him a move to us. The lottery for him, poor from our recruitment at the time.
Probably true but, was he not signed under the “best Scottish talent” banner that many have demanded we utilise.Should never had played for us in the first place.
Probably nothing- it’s just becoming one of those ‘go to’ FF sayings, just like ‘Utter shambles’ and ‘I’d sign him in a heartbeat’.It's not really. Free transfer, young Scottish player, scored goals in the SPL.
What baffles you?
Messi and Ronaldo? Too old, no sell on value, Messi is shite in the air and Ronaldo hasn’t scored against the mentally challengeds (*I think).Just remember it’s The Bear Pit I on Follow Follow.
For many poster on here we should only be signing players like Messi and Ronaldo. We set the bar very high.
What money?It was a total waste of money and baffeling signing, at the rate he is going he will spend his career at lower league clubs.
He cost us money, about £400k I think.What money?
A poor signing for sure. You win some and lose some, sadly for us we lose the vast majority
Taking a chance on someone out of contract after a decent half season is a lot different from spunking £3m on someone who had a few good months scoring against bottom half teams.Baffling we were watching Motherwell and signed Hastie over Turnbull
Turnbull was available on a pre-contract as wellTaking a chance on someone out of contract after a decent half season is a lot different from spunking £3m on someone who had a few good months scoring against bottom half teams.
No but youve just done it.Not usually one for writing off players before we've seen much of them, especially youngsters. But I don't really see what he's got to offer us.
When?Turnbull was available on a pre-contract as well
His contract was running out at the same time as Hastie’sWhen?
He's played like a game and a half after a year of sparse first team football, but FF has decided he is pish and a baffling signing even though it was met with strong praise at the time
Beam me up man, I'm done
No it wasn't. That's why the mhanks were paying £3m at the same time we got Hastie.His contract was running out at the same time as Hastie’s
I agree, I always thought he was strange acquisition.Won’t see him play for Rangers again.
What was strange about it ? he cost nothing and we took a punt to develop him.I agree, I always thought he was strange acquisition.
He didn't play many games for Motherwell before we signed him but he was brilliant in that short space of time and was exactly what we were missing, a wide player who could cut inside and be a goal threat, instead of someone like Candeias who would just run down the line and throw cross after cross into a crowded box. Just a shame that besides his first few games for Rotherham he's been pish since he signedI agree, I always thought he was strange acquisition.
One was out of contract the others asking price was 3 million. It’s not baffling at all.Baffling we were watching Motherwell and signed Hastie over Turnbull
This, it was a roll of the dice. Guy is young and still early in the season. As long as he gets game time for Motherwell he’ll progressHe was a low risk signing that looks like it won’t pay off. The baffling comments are totally missing the point. It was a punt that looks unlikely to pay off. Very little lost, and we may get a small fee for him.
In the grand scheme of things on the shambles scale, where Pena is 100, Hastie barely registers as a 1.
I wonder how many clubs actually have a better than 1 in 10 success rate.A poor signing for sure. You win some and lose some, sadly for us we lose the vast majority
Christ if that's the cost of a development fee for a boy from Motherwell's academy, it's no wonder we have been taking English boys like Rossiter, Dodoo and Bassey.He cost us money, about £400k I think.

He needs to get his mindset in gear then, I think the same as you but he plays with rounded shoulders and head down and flat footed at the moment, a few goal with help him come back out his shell and he has plenty time to do so.I have high hopes for him.
The messi and ronaldo patter is so lazyJust remember it’s The Bear Pit I on Follow Follow.

He was really good for Motherwell before we signed him so I understand why we took a punt on him but he obviously is miles off it now.
Hardly one to get raging about.
All the bizarre and baffling comments are a bit strange, young player had a really good season with another club and we took a punt on him, yes he is pish now but he wasn't the season before we signed him and there really isn't anything baffling or bizarre about it.
He wasn't even the best talent in Scotland.
There is very little quality in Scotland and it's getting worse by the season. There isn't a young player in Scotland that improves our first 11.
