Ferretti, velikonja and now simic

[Father Dougal]

Was listening to VFTN and they were discussing these 3.

Do all clubs have these strikers?! Signed for how many millions between them? All score plenty of goals for the club at some level just we never get to see them for the first team!

Not even they don't cut it at first team level- they are just never ever seen.

Odd how similar the 3 of them have been with their city careers.

Wasn’t there another one, at the same time as Ferretti, name escapes me!

I just googled Ferretti. He's 38 now and playing in Serie D, the highest level of semi-professional football in Italy for Borgo San Donnino

Iwan Redan?

Javier Guerra

Javier Guerra

Slightly different scenario - he signed to play in the premier league but we were already relegated by the time he came, and we let him move on.

Guido Burgstaller is one we didn't give a chance and he's gone on to have a pretty prolific career at some respectable clubs.

Idriss Saadi - 2 league appearances I think?

[Father Dougal]

Some other good ones.

Our percentage of strikers we sign, often for millions, and literally never seeing is quite spectacular.

I get kanga and meite etc when they just don't work out but we see a lot of them- thats football.

But the ones that are absolutely prolific at under 21s etc and we just never see! Just intrigues me.

I think ferretti was the one Fergie recommended to us?!

not so much that we didn't give him a chance - he didn't want to be here after our relegation

Glombarde or something like that.

Glombarde or something like that.

Great shout.

"Glombard follows Glenn Loovens, Kevin McNaughton, Roger Johnson, Stephen McPhail, Michael Chopra, Mark Howard, Malvin Kamara and Nick McKoy in being the latest summer signing at Ninian Park."

Some good sam quotes here about him. Did he play?

From memory (which isn’t great) he had a couple of appearances out wide

I remember malvin kamara out wide early on and looked really good.

Well we signed him after we were relegated so I find that hard to believe. It would've hardly been a surprise he wasn't playing in the Premier League.


See report from after the time of departure.
