Good luck to him. Whoever he is.
Hasn't made much of an impact so probably best for everyone.
Mixu seems to want to get the squad down a bit and I reckon there will be at least another half dozen or so will get the chance to leave by mutual consent.
I just hope that any replacements actually do add to the quality.
I've read many times that "I will only sign players that: are better than what we have/add real quality/ etc etc " in fact I reckon all the SPL Managers have said that, and probably meant it. (Except Shaggy of course, who said "I will only sign players that: are better than the wee team sign/add "ski" to their surnames/I'm told to sign".)
The sad fact is that the agents/doctored DVD's/references given are so good nowadays that managers are constantly tricked into signing talentless buffoons or at best, mediocre players. I know we all have different opinions on relative players merits, but there are so many complete donkeys signed by professional clubs that there must be something wrong Shirley?
I reckon it is hard for mere fans to judge developing youngsters. I remember the stick dished out to Ian Murray as a young player just for one example. But how on earth other less than average players are signed up is beyond me. Surely professional scouts/coaches can spot the donkeys same as us?
I'm refraining from naming names because that's not fair considering he is already pissed off about getting his holiday arrangements screwed up.
But he isn't the only one.

Excellent post, Doc . . . but . . . is buffoonery no longer regarded as a talent?
