9 goals in 15 appearances. Not taking anything away from Fran but this shows how poor the SPL is.

Pity he got f*** all for us in the third tier of English football.Could confirm though that most Scottish teams are conference south level or lower.

Was'nt really given a chance when with us. With a run of games he may have been ok.Better than Paynter anyway.

So long as you are saying "we NEVER want him back!" I am happy with that. Good luck to the fella.

What a season for the Saints though, currently fourth in the SPL - above the Jam tarts, Aberdeen and Hibs. Never understood those who slated Sandaza, but then whingeing and slagging off Brighton players is what Brighton fans do best. I'm not saying he was fantastic, but he did cop a bit of unnecessary flak imho.

The rumour site says that Bristol City are preparing a £1m bid for him in January.

How much? Blimey its true what they say about that rumours web site!
I agree. He scored four goals in 19 appearances for us (only four starts). I don't know how many goals per minute that works out but I reckon it would be pretty high - certainly nothing to be ashamed of. Don't sure why he deserves some of these comments.
Understandable given McInnes will obv fancy him plus Maynard has said he wants away so will be flogged in this window

Better than Paynter and arguably as good as Barnes. League one player easily. Good for Fran, never got a proper chance here.

Complete lightweight, never the talent to perform a division down, never mind higher
Absolutely spot on. He's MILES better than Paynter (it's not even close), he scored goals for us despite making very occasional and fitful appearances, and he worked hard.
He left acrimoneously because he felt he hadn't been given a fair chance. I have faith in Gus but you can understand his point of view from a personal level and I for one am pleased he's scoring regularly in the MTL.

is the correct answer. It's no coincidence that we also had Steve Thompson come down here with a big reputation from the SPL, appear quite a few times without ever performing and then return to the SPL where he is once again great. The SPL looks like a couple of championship sides, a couple of L1 sides, a few L2 sides and the rest conference.

According to club stats from bbc,he has scored 11 from 9 league games. That's quite impressive,imo. Top half of SPL surely no worse than Championship,generally speaking?

In most circumstances, Sandaza would have played more games for us last season. However he had niggling injuries at times he had opportunities and also when fit found himself behind two 20 goal strikers and another who got double figures.
When he played he was limited but had a knack of finding the net and being the fox in the box that most people had said we for years we needed.
In short I think he was unlucky with us and I am pleased to see him doing well now. If the Scot Prem is equivalent of the Championship or League 1 then it means he could well do a job for someone back down south and he may just (if surrounded by good players who get the ball into the box regularly) do a job for someone like Bristol City

The two would hold there own ... the rest are woeful ... 3rd place doesn't tell you anything. If Sandaza were netting a few against Celtic/Rangers it might suggest something but so far he's scored zero at 3 attempts I think
