Locky Posted July 9 Anyone remember this name? A striker JJ picked up on trial in summer of 2010 who was very highly rated. Word was, we had picked up the next big star... He played as a trialist again Blackburn at Tynie and while he didn't stand out, he didn't look entirely rubbish. We didn't sign him there and then, but for reasons I can't recall, he went to Morton on a short term deal with an almost verbal agreement that we'd sign him in January. Suffice to say, that never happened. He went to Singapore and had spells at 2 clubs, and done quite well before a move to Greece in 2013. He's now 30, and according to Wikipedia, hasn't had a club since. What might've been eh? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leveins Battalion Posted July 9 Sure I seen him play as a trialist v Dalkeith Thistle at Kings Park. Think we had another trialist striker play the following week v Penicuik. Anybody remember his name?He was an African that had been playing in China.Anyway he looked pants. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Space Pirate Posted July 9 Was it another great scouting effort from Murray? What about the next Hagi that we signed, can't even remember his name. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SectionDJambo Posted July 9 I remember him. Just had a look at his Wiki page. Looks like we were right to forget him. Allan Moore was the Morton manager, and let him go after a few months. Playing in Singapore would have been his level and probably gave him a decent lifestyle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phage Posted July 9 Was banging them in one preseason for us prompting many to want him chucked in the first team. I seen him play for Morton v Partick in the winter that year 0-0. Watched him closer to see what the fuss was about, however he was rank. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

number-16 Posted July 9 There was issues with his player registration. Something to do with his previous club going bust and someone wanting compensation. He was able to sign for Morton on amateur terms while that wasn't an option for us in Premier League if I recall correctly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IIRC, we were cautious about signing him immediately as it could have left us open to some sort of obligation to part with a hefty fee. I assume it may have been due to a former club but recall Jim stating there were some things to be looked into. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There was a racist/xenophobic story in one of the red tops, I think the Sun, about him and his family immediately after we beat Celtic to him. Something about gypsies and caravans. From memory they did have to apologise though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JJ93 Posted July 10 Branimir Kostadinov was insane on football manager. Prolific is an understatement. However, his career is not quite the same. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
