Adios Jack Harper.

Good idea - the scots supporters seemed to be very impressed when we signed their future Scottish superstar, so he might have flourished up there; the standard isn't so demanding either.
The temperature drop between Malaga and, say, Arbroath in January would be enough to put anyone off though, I suppose!

I love Arbroath..................Childhood holidays there in the scorching summer of 1976. Felt like Malaga to me

Against Hastings United. Perspective needed I think.

Not that I want to slate him as never saw him enough to form a judgement.

I wish him well at Malaga. Home town club, so hopefully he'll thrive there.

A few years back I played against Hastings Utd fronts Perspective right there!

Yes, it's lovely in the summer - cafes selling smokies everywhere and Kerr's little trains chugging up and down. But you presumably noticed the football ground? Practically on the prom. and right next to the North Sea. Gawd, it must be the bleakest stadium in Britain in the winter!

There was a swimming pool next to the ground and there was a full size window in the pool foyer which looked straight on to the pitch from behind the goals

Stoke. Bleak all year round. Especially when it rains..... as memory haunts me . . . .

 

[PortuGull]

He has spent almost his entire life in Spain, so that may also be a factor!

True that he has a British sounding name and was born in Scotland, but everything else about him is Spanish.

Born in Malaga, apparently

Stoke - haven't had the pleasure. But for sheer cold, the east coast of Scotland has to be experienced! Still, guess we're more likely to be sampling Stoke next winter rather than Arbroath..................

I was astonished at the excitement from some on here when he signed. I mean we all wanted him to do well of course, but the conviction that he was going to be more or less pitched straight into the first team, after knocking about with the kids, crocks and waiters in the spanish 3rd tier his entire "career", was laughable. Turned out he was just another Roland Bergkamp.

Wow. Who'dve thunk.

Was always a luxury player for Scotland under21's and often dropped despite being 'better' than most since didn't fit a system. I think it was a great idea to take a proper look at him over 18 months but if we didn't like him enough in that time (injuries won't have helped) then best he moves on. Exactly the position we needed but not the style of CAM/FWD I think. Certainly never a STR though.

I'm a closet Montrose fan. Just down the road from Arbroath. Makes a cracking local derby. All of 300 fans there.

 

[chaileyjem]

Shit player in my eyes. Very disappointed by him from what i have seen. There's nothing to suggest he will go onto better things either

"Shit" - really ?
He's making a career as a footballer and its not worked out at the Albion. Not unusual. Most teen footballers on our books (any teams books) don't make it. Why the insults ?

 

[Saladpack Seagull]

Farewell Spanish Jack. I'd like to say "thanks for the memory" but there you go............

His career as a footballer is not exactly going well though is it?

 

[5ways]

Wonder what Hambo's thinking.

 

[chaileyjem]

yeah. its not how he hoped it might work out. but then not unusual given his age.
but why the need to call him "shit". he's still making a career as a professional footballer.
whats he done to deserve that ?

Not been good enough to even come close to making a 1st team appearance anywhere in his career so far ?

2 years with the kids at Real Madrid playing in the amateur 3rd tier, great career move that turned out to be. Then 18 months in and out of our DS, without so much as a sniff of our bench, even in the crap cups.

He's 21 next month, and has never played a game. If he was good enough, surely he'd have shown something by now.

Not scored many goals

Yep. Agreed. He's not fulfilled expectations, although most of that hype didn't come from him. But he's still young.
But why need to call players "shit".
