Prince after King

"Scott McDonald is the king of kings...

Sadly, due to the ridiculous amounts of money in football and spiralling transfer fees a club legend now costs £50,000 more than one did a decade ago. Shameful."



He’s only 23 and still has a lot he can learn – but certainly has plenty of time to do that in. All the raw materials are there - we need to give him the platform to show us he can do it...
I was reading someone the other day talking about O'Neil and the day we signed Hartson, Sylla, and Guppy, saying basicly if ever it showed O'Neil was excellent at the 6 million range in the transfer market - but fails in the six figure signings was then.

Made me think that Gordon is the opposite. With the exception of Scott Brown, the 3 players we have spent the most money on are Gravesen, Jarosik, and Hesselink. None of them have been an unqualified success' for various reasons.

The likes of Naylor (bar a shocking 3 months that we have thankfully seen the back of), Artur Boruc, Scott McDonald, even Hatley and Nakamura cost less than 2 million each - All look like amazing value for money
