It’s only good business if he’s any good...

Naismith probably looked a decent deal at the time and he’s been complete and utter dog s**t. That deal has cost us millions.

I think the McClean deal is good business (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 22, 08:11:27
- At the price, it certainly is and Aberdeen fans are NOT glad to see the back of him...... (NCFC) - Kirrie, Jan 22, 09:26:48
  - I'm with Kirrie (NCFC) - caley canary, Jan 22, 09:40:07

  - It would be a shame we got a player who was keeping Maddison out of team (NCFC) - jAC, Jan 22, 09:56:57
    - In reality...i do hope that isn't what happens! (n/m) (NCFC) - jAC, Jan 22, 10:00:16
  - He’s a replacement for reed/Tettey I think not a no 10 like Maddison (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Jan 22, 09:40:05
  - I think the odds are that he probably won't be a great player for us, but (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 22, 09:27:05

    - Wesso's done alright... (n/m) (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Jan 22, 10:08:29
      - He only had one season up there. Not long enough for the pollution to set in. (NCFC) - lurd, Jan 22, 10:20:13
  - It’s worth remembering that Madders wasn’t an automatic starter with Aberdeen last year. (NCFC) - Adster, Jan 22, 09:01:00
    - Who knows indeed. (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 22, 09:04:14
  - You’re spiralling out of control Jim (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 22, 08:52:34
    - Does anyone know how to pilot this Jim character? He is outa control! (n/m) (NCFC) - maidstoneyellow, Jan 22, 09:57:25

      - How can you comment on whether he's any good or Not? (NCFC) - Chopper, Jan 22, 10:30:47
      - He's saying that the approach to the signing is good... (NCFC) - Brom, Jan 22, 09:09:04
        
        It’s entirely linked to whether he turns out to be any good though (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 22, 09:15:46
        
        You can say that same about any signing Jim; its only £200K.... (NCFC) - Kirrie, Jan 22, 09:22:33
        
        It's not. He's clearly indicated they are discreet issues (n/m) (NCFC) - Brom, Jan 22, 09:17:41
        
        How about we agree on (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 22, 09:30:59
        
        So all of that frothing because you didn't agree on the meaning of the word "business"? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 22, 10:18:55
        
        I haven't been frothing (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 22, 11:00:34
        
        I haven't changed my mind on the meaning of the word business (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 22, 11:09:11
        
        we're not going to do anything this season though - whatever we do in January (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 22, 09:37:44
        
        Why not? It’s still doable and it certainly would have been even more (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 22, 09:48:27
        
        I fully agree that we have wasted this season, and that the change of philosophy (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 22, 10:01:41

    - It's also worth remembering (NCFC) - CauldRon, Jan 22, 08:48:52
