Confirmed Signing Andros Townsend

[diggerdestroyer]

Naismith was trash ran like he was wearing concrete boots

He was honest but bang average. Still better than iwobi.

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

Smells of the Walter Smith era.
Wall to wall meh!

Got him for free and made us almost 10M - that's my kind of transfer!

Naismith: Cost 0. 122 appearances and 25 goals over 3½ years. Brought in 9.5 million in fees to the club.

Still crap. If we had 11 players of Naismith standard in the team we would be relegated by Christmas. They'd all try really hard and be lovely fellas, still relegated.

You need guys like Naismith in a squad. A hard-worker who would pop up with big goals in big games.

Naismith was excellent value for money, and always put in a great shift.

Every free transfer is good value if they contribute just about anything.

 

[AdamEFC]

At least he looks happy

Depends on wages. But Naismith was a rare gem - a player who actually made us some coin!

 

[street end]

Said all the right things in his interview and seems determined to get his place in the team, sounds like he works hard so good luck and hope he does well.

Man City seem to be doing alright without a Naismithesque player. I mean KDB has a similar complexion but that's about it.

Aye, because you can compare us with Man City. That said, peak Man Utd had John O'Shea!

 

[Lord Buckethead]

Welcome 'Dross.

You'll fit right in.

 

[windymiller]

You said EVERY team needed players like Naismith.

That's not because he was useful. I mean I do think cheap deals like that are worthwhile but I'd put Naismith as one that didn't really work. But Townsend is significantly later in his career so it's hardly the same. Gray is closer to that.
