'An undisclosed fee' - two bob and a pickled egg. Shows what an absolute joke the Scottish Prem is.

£35k with the potential to reach £100k from add ons I understand.

Wish him all the very best.

Odd signing to say the least given we've got Simon Murray scoring for fun.

But then we have just appointed Steven Pressley as manager - so anything is possible.

I tell you now if we had have had Acquah and that American lad in our side now we wouldnt have made Wembley, We wouldnt have needed too as we would have **** the league in, maybe got there in the FA trophy. Two talents that left because of the Rat .

Emile Acquah was released by Phil Brown.

Emile Acquah was released by Phil Brown.

Had we not been a basket case, we could have really let him develop, likewise with Richard Taylor.

Two players who’d probably walk in to our team now.

Hutchinson was probably in the first team a year or two before he should have been too.

Well come to think of it most players in that squad were in way too early…

Looks like most of Barrow fans are not bothered in the slightest and amazed they got a fee for him.

Emile only scored about 1 in 6 since leaving us.

Still young and improving.
Even that scoring rate is better than Hopper’s.

I find that very hard to believe. He only needed a few more seasons and he would have been as good as Harry Kane.

Someone wrote an interesting post the other day that highlighted that tall number 9's take longer to learn how to use their physicality in the game.

Nothing could be more so truthful than watching Acquah play. I've never seen a player built so big but have absolutely no sense of how to use his body. He never jumped and hardly ever out muscled anyone. Him and Dackers were very similar.

Maidenhead just told him to stay in the box and be a nuisance and that was more effective.

As a target man, I'd still rather have Hopper.
