Didn't he start a game for Southampton and was substituted after about 20 minutes? Might be wrong, but that is always what I've thought.
Good post overall AESF but you're a bit hard on a couple of Souness signings. Dwight Yorke was very good the first season he was here and really thing went south when he and Souness seemed to have a few problems. For the price he came in at you could say that the results of the first season pretty much justified it, I think most of us were excited when he signed, I certainly was.
Amoruso will never escape the fact that he was a member of a horrible team and an even worse defence. However, at times he was the only one who looked halfway decent and was a major part of the improvement in our form that saw us stay up. Not a great player, but for 1.3 million not that awful of a buy, I think he was a bit hard done by.
Now for the most controversial one, Barry Ferguson. From where we are now it was a horrible waste of money, but back in December of last year I think most Rovers fans were starting to think he may just have been worth it. The fact that he then sold us up the river in late January could never have been predicted.
