Good players don't become bad players. They become unfit players or out of form players but not bad players. Beattie was good at one time for the right manager - in his case Strachan. If he was signed on the same basis as Connelly originally was then I cannot see how we lose. If he came over Billy BB then I suspect the rest of the squad would sort him. FWIW I don't think that he would and I would be surprised if, in our set up, we couldn't get him firing again.
