Then again Daglish did buy John Harkness, Jimmy Carter and Don Hutchinson.
David Speedie.
6 goals in 12 games for us(including a goal on his debut against the mancs at O.T. followed by 2 goals against Everton) , went to Blackburn when Souness arrived and helped Dalglish get them promotion before being swapped(with a little bit of cash) for Shearer. Hardly a failure !
I know you´re not here mate but I have to respond, David Speedie was a terrible signing, you say it yourself, the last sigining Kenny made before he flipped, just 12 games then immediately sold on, past his best, no way a strategic signing for the reds and a horrendous case of throwing money at the wall. If you recall at the time, the fans were shocked when we signed him and accelerlated Kenny´s exit stage left.
I dont think anyone who remembers the period will accept Speedie was a sensible buy.
