Fraggle Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Honestly thought Darren Barr was going to be a great CB for us but it never worked out. He came good towards the end of his time and when played as a DM. As for Sutton, like everyone else I thought we had signed a proven goal scorer but we all know how that turned out!

The Old Tolbooth Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 None of that lot, Robbo coming back home from Newcastle was the most excited I ever got at a transfer, next I'd say pinching McCann from Dundee, and getting Cameron in the door too.

The signing I remember being most excited about was Beslija. What a let down Beslija is probably mine as well. Largely because we seemed a little weak at Right Mid (in comparison to the rest of the team). He seemed like the missing piece of the puzzle at the time.

Bauld Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I was quite excited by Black. Looked superb for ICT. Little terrier who could boss things and had a good passing range.

Bozi Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 As said above Beslija surely must be in contention. Darren Barr always looked excellent, I thought we were signing a Pressley replacement but he was nowhere near that, did a turn at DM and have to love him for starting THAT rout but overall meh. Two biggest disappointments I have though were two guys with outstanding pedigrees, international class midfielders who should have pissed the Scottish league. Ones legs had gone and the other clearly couldn't be bothered, so, for me, the biggest disappointments were Vincent Guerin and Tzolis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbo re-signed the night of the Velez Mostar away game in December 1988. Joe Jordan and Derek Ferguson were still a year or two away. Anyway, to my eternal shame, the most excited I’ve ever been about a signing was when Michael Stewart signed. I thought, “feck me, we’ve signed a Man U player.” That went well!!!

Jambo Ell Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I remember reading a newspaper report which said that we’d beaten Manchester City (who were then in the lower leagues) to the signing of Wyness as we’d approached him on a pre-contact straight after he scored the winning goal for Inverness to knock Celtic out of the cup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martoon Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 (edited) As others have posted, the return of Robbo in December 1988. We'd just clinched a place in the UEFA Cup QF, Sportscene had the highlights of our game in Mostar and Dougie Donnelly started the prog with "Hearts have re-signed John Robertson". Add the signing of Tosh McKinlay and it was a pretty good few days. Edited March 28, 2019 by martoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
