Someone like Gary Hooper was a third division striker here, and is now one of the MTL's top scorers. Would an English Premier League team ever have signed him? A Wigan at absolute best, but probably not even them.
I still can't think of who that Scottish midfielder was, anybody help me out here? Wasn't completely useless, just never seemed to take hold of games like you want midfielders to.

I would also add that there are loads of players that have looked like world beaters in the MTL, and have done little here.
We've signed players in the past who were highly rated north of the border and did bugger all with us. What was that little dark haired bloke called, from the Withdean era, we signed him from a McClub and flogged him back to another one when he failed to shine. I can't even remember his name, he was so meh. Graeme Smith (the goalkeeper) is another one.
Steve Thomson. Hit the post against Man City, if I remember correctly. I thought he looked quite decent, but then our standards were not quite so high in those days.
Graeme Smith was an absolute ghost of a keeper. Didn't seem to make massive blunders, but everything just went through him. Didn't he complain about having to wash his own kit? : poorfella :
Is that Graeme shocked-to-do-his-own-washing Smith !?
sandaza being linked with a move to rangers,he must have learnt to tie his boots up?
Thanks, it was Steve Thomson I was thinking of He wasn't that bad, didn't do a lot wrong, but never really seemed to do much at all.
Says on Wikipedia he played 100+ games for Palace before he joined Falkirk then us, which perhaps explains why he's suited to the MTL.
if im being honest, this whole getting celtic and rangers in prem is crap
give em a season in the championship, see where they end up, cause 1 game means nothing....joe ledley was ok for cardiff.....now he scores winner in the scottish version of goliath v goliath....f*** off
