One of a very rare few YouTube videos of prospective signings that actually excited me.
...and then a few weeks later he bagged a double away to Ross County, including a ridiculously cheeky one where he robbed their keeper. It was clear this boy was no Sebo (with all due respect to big Filip) and I was a fan right away. Started bumping my gums to anybody who would listen that I had a feeling the boy was a special one.
Just goes to show, we should be looking at leagues like that ,he was no doubt being watched but teams were maybe reluctant to take a punt. I was actually looking forward to seeing him at more at the time just down to his scoring record and YouTube reel. Both were far more impressive than Herrera's even at the time. Is Herrera still on the books, surely not but we did some silly business then it wouldn't surprise meNo-one had heard of him but he was scoring for fun in Finland too.
That isn’t funny.Was seen as a cheap punt as backup to big Herrera
WARNING! Pish music, mute button is advised!
I still cant believe Pedro subbed him at half time in Luxembourg as the boy was taking up excellent positions in the box, jusy that no one got a pass to him
same mate i got in lots of arguments with mates that him and jacko would be a core of our team for years to come (like to brag when im right) , also in those first 9 games (he had 9 goals i think) i had a fiver on him every time , was genuinely mental and was my first season with an ST , enjoyable season from that perspective. People forget he was a 20 year old kid when he joined us , hes a man nowNo, he probably wouldn't have been.
But...
His raw ability and potential were obvious right from the start though. I remember him scoring in his first league start against Hibs (the infamous cheatin Beaton game I think) and then a few weeks later he bagged a double away to Ross County, including a ridiculously cheeky one where he robbed their keeper. It was clear this boy was no Sebo (with all due respect to big Filip) and I was a fan right away. Started bumping my gums to anybody who would listen that I had a feeling the boy was a special one.
Been an absolute pleasure to watch him develop and improve these last few years and as much as it will pain me when it happens, he's more than ready for a step up to elite league level.
Tbf that was purely out of fan pressure , all my mates would say "cummings would have scored that chance" and want him to play when alfie missed , my response would be "cummings wouldn't have got/made that chance....."Remember that time Murty played Jason Cummings ahead of him against Celtic?

For me that's the best thing about him. Can't be many who were unknown to us who went on to become a fan favourite and hero to the lot of us. Been great to watch him improve whilst at us. Don't think I've seen such an improvement in a player. He was important to us last season, this season he is the top man. I started loving the boy after his sneaky goal away to Ross county a couple of years back. The biggest fan favourite since the 90s in my opinion.All the credit must go to JJ for identifying him but the improvement that he has shown in his all round game must go down to himself. He can go to anyone after we get 55 this season.
Would love it if he signed a new contract and stayed for a go at qualifying for the champions leagueAll the credit must go to JJ for identifying him but the improvement that he has shown in his all round game must go down to himself. He can go to anyone after we get 55 this season.
Anyone remember on here during the mental caixinha transfer months when there was a rumour of Morelos signing. No one had heard of him.
Cue a few days later and a thread on here had become massive with everyone directly messaging him on Twitter etc telling him to sign.
Think he had changed his status to Rangers player about a week before it was even announced
FF basically forced him to sign
god pena he was a disaster lolWhat a transfer window that was
Messaging morelos
Guys meeting herrera and Pena in Mexican airports

Think i was most excited about signing Pena at the time after the YouTube videos...oh how wrong LOL

I broke it on here and took a doing as Celtic we’re also in lol
Ha was another source but aye I just fired it in that thread out of no where pished and it within minutes it was manic and mark phoned me to give me a bollocking cause he’d had one. Learnt not to do that againWas BothwellBear that broke the news I think. He overheard a conversation at Ibrox with his agent if I remember correctly.
Was posted in the Mad Speculation section of the Transfer Thread that had something like 4 million views.
Aye. Caixinhas only decent signing was actually signed by someone else.
Forgot that he signed Jack. Candeias was decent, the other 2 obviously better than decent.Decent eh...interesting choice of words. Especially since he also signed Candeias and Ryan Jack
