Shows how standards have dropped. We used to have Brian Grant as a squad player but he'd be up with those very good players now.

Brian Grant was far more than just a squad player. And deservedly so. Very under-rated player.

 

Maybe the first few seasons he was with his he was probably on the fringes of the first team , often one of the subs , in the days when there were only 3 subs. But in the late 80s and the first half of the 90s he was a first team regular in the starting eleven.

Grant was only a squad player in his first couple of seasons after he joined from Stirling as a youngish loon. Once he established himself in the team he was a first pick for years.

 

Ball would be a first pick had he joined up...but likely only for the coming season as Dean Campbell will be a first pick in a year's time, at which point Ball would have become a (very useful) squad player.

 

Anyway immaterial now. We look elsewhere. But not at all convinced about this Gorrin loon at Motherwell if that is who we are chasing

Brian Grant is up there with Bobby Corror for folk incorrectly slagging.

 

Different types of players but both were excellent at what they did.

As other s have mentioned above.

Once established at the club Grant was nothing but a near enough first name on the team sheet.

To be fair:

 

Last two cup semi finals Ball was minging in both.

 

Loses concentration and at times his distribution is really really bad. He's good for games against Celtic/Huns or a better European team because he's a big physical guy you can use to anchor and flood the midfield. That's all he is though. Very limited and not a necessary signing if he's commanding starting XI wages.

Dom Ball has some upside and at 23 y/o he has potential to kick on... but he's not currently good enough to earn an English Championship/League One wage.  It's important we're not held to ransom here. 

 

Supposedly wanted by Ipswich. Bit of a basket case right now but probably still able to top anything that we are likely to offer
