Yes sorry, British record fee
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Gordon
The rest of the stuff on here.

He was ok -believe he was dropped midway through his first season after letting in 7 one day and after having a poor start to the season and the went on to spend most of the time on the bench or injured with the odd start thrown into the equation

We got Reina the year before for £4mil less than what Sunderland paid -£9mil was way over priced .

True. Look at the record sums paid for Carroll (£35M) and Torres (£50M). Gordon must have been sheer quality.

How much has Carroll been sold for in all the deals and has anyone got value for money?

£9m was too much but he was a class keeper

I guess in Scotland when he played there but didn't see him there - but it didn't seem to happen when he moved down. Going to Sunderland a team often exposed prob didn't help.

My goodness, that is what we have been trying to tell you.
Sooooooooo many English experts on Scottish football here, trouble is who don't seem to watch any.

So many experts on everything. Mind you don't you think Scottish football is broken in the current format with a virtual one horse race every year

? I gave my judgment on Gordon based on what he did in the English game. I never said anything about his time at Hearts.

It wasn't that long ago you were declaring him the worlds most expensive GK

Granted the cups are shared around to a degree but the SPL???? Who wins most seasons?

Don't kid yourself, no one other than Celtic or Rangers has won it in over 30 years

Blimey - I was living in Peterhead at the time as my dad was at Buchan. Went a few times to Pittodrie. Over the years when we were up there - Dads mate was a ST holder

No questioning your maths mate but you do mean 31st? :rofl:

Ha ha, sausage fingers typing it getting off the train!

No chance of it happening anyway right enough :rofl:

My point. At best a two horse race and without Rangers a cake walk. Can't be good for Scottish footie but I can't see how it's going to change soon. Almost as much as a done deal as the French league every season with PSG

Unlike the premiership Homer (this year aside) double the teams and how many winners in 20 years?

Most leagues in Europe are similar except Scotland seems to get it right from many quarters.

Fair point well made. I'd argue though the PL sides have done better come the CL though

PL is probably the richest league in Europe, SPL towards the other end of the scale so nothing you wouldn't expect.
