Ethan Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 Given the comments made by Stubbs about signing marquee players who seriously would you class as marquee. I fear these comments will come back to bite him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually delivering for us on the park would be helpful too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original 59er Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 I would have called Victor and Archibald 'marquee signings' but that was at a time when we thought we could spend above our weight and the banks would support that approach. Nowadays, I agree it would be someone who both other teams and Managers worry about if they are in our team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintGlenburn Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 Id have said perhaps Rooney could be considered Marquee at a push but not marquee enough to spend 5k a week on. As callum said, thommo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 I'd say any player who has performed consistently well for a club at the level we are currently playing at or above. That's a realistic benchmark. Given that we are newly promoted, that would realistically be a case of nicking a good player from the likes of Kilmarnock or Motherwell (think Dargo, when he initially signed), or a fringe player at Celtic (eg Johnny Hayes) or similar. It could be argued that Camara and Djemba Djemba were marquee signings on the face of it, but few of us would want to go down that road (dark alley) again.

Maboza Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 I would have said that Craig Dargo, Steven Thompson and Gary Teale were marquee signings. Dargo possibly more so than the others as we kind of felt that we were getting someone at their peak as opposed to guys who were now taking a step down for the latter parts of their career.

TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 Did Stubbs ever use the term "marquee signing"? If he did I must have missed it. All I heard was him talking about "a couple of exciting signings" or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
