Played very well for us (Partick Thistle) last season. Played a massive part in us avoiding relegation. We were hoping he'd re-sign for us.
You’d think A League is higher level than Championship in Scotland. Age 35.
Hasn’t he got a reputation as being a bit “unlikeable”?
Couldn’t score a goal for Socceroos in about 20-30 games from memory.
But yes scored buckets in Scotland over the years.
I didn't make any judgement on the relative merits of either league, nor did I imply it. I said he'd played well for us. He's been playing well and says he's got his love for the game back.
Seems to have popular enough with our squad, I didn't hear anything worrying about him. I know he doesn't 'do' pre-season though, which is interesting. Whether he succeeds in the A League remains to be seen, probably a good option to have on the bench for them.
