Well, if you look at the facts (including the ones that don't appeal to you), they don't. It's hardly a failure of the recruitment team that players (for now at least) prefer Benfica tp Brighton.
And they, very astutely, didn't get sucked into the noise generated by agents and the OF loving...
I must admit, he's doing a bit better than I expected - BUT - I'm glad that despite all the agent-talk and the pathetic desperation in the Scottish press to get hm a big move to Brighton, we were never 'in' for him at all; our scoutng network is pretty good these days.
Still, the lad wanted out...
TBH, it wasn't a case of 'NSC at it's finest' - more a case of speculative journalism at it's finest, especially in Scotland. Never ending reports of his 'imminent move to Brighton' never let up, and were duly commented on - with enthusiasm by some, and poo-poo-ed by others. Can't see much t...
Well, if that's the case I'm very happy - vindicated even. Never thought he was worth us going for him.
Palace have got him. It's like when you're running home from schooll, in a tight group, and you're at the front and are the one that sees and jumps over the dog turd......
But enough about...

50 - or even 20 - years ago they would (if they could have avoided relegation). Now - above Brighton? 50-50 at the very best. Two of our youngsters are on loan to teams above you in the league! ......................... and you do know where Rangers got two of their title winning CBs from...
Yep, and that semi-final over two legs, both live on free to view TV (ITV or BBC - can't remember which), still remain in my memory as two of the finest matches I've ever seen. Good as Leeds were in those days, watching the way Celtic beat them to nearly every second ball was just awesome - and...
True - or not for long anyway before they moved up to clubs in England. Have to insert an honourable mention for the Lisbon Lions though - they actually were a bit special.
That Robert the Bruce was supposed to be a bit handy too - but even he turned out to be a bit of a one hit wonder. Yes, I'd agree the Lisbon Lions were a fantastice team - one of the best I've ever seen - but that was over 50 years ago.......... and Edouard wouldn't even have made the bench (if...
He's so one footed! That would have been a goal if he'd considered using his left foot. Unbelievable that he thinks he's worth £85K a week (and Celtic equally deluded if they think they can get £15M - well, actually in this mad day and age some mug will probably pay. Hope it's not us!)
