Scottish football has earned a PHD in shock and awe over the years and our beautiful game retains the ability to catch supporters out.
And out the blue signings fall into two distinct categories. There's the box office moves that cost a pretty penny that punters cannot believe their teams get over the line. And then there is the ones which leave fans tearing their hair out because they are convinced their club is making a major blunder...and are often proved correct.
It's the latter for vexed Manchester United fans who have been left open-jawed as their club pursue Marko Arnautovic this summer. The ex-Stoke City has never been regarded top class and the current Bologna striker also has a dark cloud over his head, in the wake of his vile slurs aimed at North Macedonia fans during Euro 2020. Plus he’s 33 years of age.
