Bennett to Glasgow

Postby GaryIPA on Mon Nov 12, 2012 6:16 pm

purely curious I'd like to know how many players have come to Edinburgh and how many to Glasgow since the end of last season.

I'll make it easy for you.

Glasgow:

7 properly in, 2 temps, 1 limited (Paris), 1 loan, one non existant (Ma'afu)

Not that easy, what does 'limited' mean?

The number is almost irrelevant, the gulf in quality between Edinburgh signings and Strauss, Maitalnd, Niko and the potential of Bennet is startling.
And to think some Weegies didn't want Townsend, he certainly is attracting players somehow. Scotstoun may help also.

I would argue that we had better quality on the books than Glasgow before this summer so maybe things have been evened up a little...

And anyway, if they had landed this side of the country I doubt that we would be seeing the best of them this season, given the way that we've been playing, so it's no loss really.

Should have worded that better. Out of all the signings (loan aside) he'll be on the lowest deal, not quite got him for nothing but you know what I mean. Drawn in by the opportunity to make a mark and get a proper contract.

The Glasgow forum after a win is good value :lol:

I'd argue otherwise if I could be bothered.
