Really strange how it's panned out for him, he was outstanding for us at centre half the season we went head to head with Thistle for the title. Probably the best defender in the league that season. Got a good move to Motherwell as well, and played fairly regularly.
He was a very good striker in League One, he's average at best in the Championship. With a front pairing of a fit Quitongo and Oliver, with Thomson waiting in the wings, I dont think Declan would get near the team.
IMO, Hands' best game for us was against St Johnstone, before he signed IIRC. He was fantastic.
ETA- Well that and obviously that night at Celtic Park.
I think he left it too late to decide what he wanted to do, Duffy said he had 48 hours to decide, 48 hours later he's off. Would've been good to keep him, but good on Duffy for putting the foot down.
