    Oh my stars, 6 goals in 35 games? And only 6 assists? Wow, he only accounted for 4th on their goalscoring chart, and 2nd place goals/assists (12, compared to 3rd place Isma's 8, 2nd place Paterson's 9, and then top scorer Walker's 15). He's basically the worst! I can't believe Hearts wasted a free transfer on that guy. I'm sure he's crashed out of soccer altogether! Oh, what's this, he had a feud with his manager, left for a better club, at which he did better, and his manager was canned immediately following his departure?

    You're right, I'm faaaaar more confident that you're full of it now that I've gone to Transfermarkt and reviewed the YA thread!

    Yea, sure, you’ve been on here taking shots at Americans in Scotland before.

    Literally no reason to bring those players up in here besides your passive agressive anti-american bs.

    A claim that's objectively incorrect.

    Why are you being such a drama queen? When did I say he was the worst? I said that he failed because he scored a total of six goals in a season. Callum Paterson and Jamie Walker scored more goals and their not even strikers. Jamie Walker scored 15 from the wing, and Paterson 10 from wing back. The stats are there. A striker who scored six goals a season for Hearts is clearly not doing his job. Even the other striker scored more. Are you Bjorn's Mother or something? Calm down, jeez.

    Scottish Footballing Association is the best and Weah is lucky they let him have a go after Beasley, Edu, Bedoya, Johnson, Smith, Jones, McDonald, Tyson, Hogan, Armstrong and Bonilla all failed to make an impact in Scottish football.

    BMJ is also American in paperwork only and no European would associate with American soccer stereotypes.

    I'm surprised Scottish Footballing Association signed him.

    Emerson Hyndman was young player of the season at Rangers.

    You're just so incorrect that I thought I'd spice up my reply with some sarcasm. Sorry.

    P.S. A striker that contributes to 1/4 the goals in your team, and then goes on to be more successful at a higher level while their manager (whom they have been fighting with) gets sacked, is not a flop.

    Relative to the hope that he might be an Arsenal-level player, I think he failed.

    Nah, he should have just declared that it wasn't a goal worth celebrating because the opponent was just a shite third-tier Scotttish team.

    I didn't say one thing that was incorrect. What kind of football supporter would be happy with a striker scoring six goals in a season in all competitions for their team? It was an atrocious record. Kyle Lafferty scored 19 goals the following season. Talk about an upgrade.

    Ironic.

    Kyle Lafferty actually scored 10, not sure how you screwed that one up. And he had 1 assist, which means that he actually had less impact on his team overall.

    https://www.transfermarkt.com/scottish-premiership/startseite/wettbewerb/SC1/saison_id/2017

    Yikes.

    For the record, BMJ scored 7 and assisted 7 in all comps because he had 3 cup appearances to go with his league ones.

    Lafferty scored 10 and assisted 1 in 2220 league minutes, and BMJ scored 6 and assisted 6 in 1907 minutes. I wonder what that means? o_O

    An interesting smokescreen, considering BMJ was only given league goals.

    Appears to be the difference between using transfermarkt and wiki.

    Its almost as if different players fit in better at different clubs.

    For some reason, someone appears to have a bee in their bonnet about US players at Scottish clubs.

    Mate, you genuinely sound like you wear a tin foil hat. Here, don't worry, I've checked the stats. Bjorn scored an extra goal in the cup. His tally was seven! Yeah, you're right much better than Lafferty's 19. "Smokescreen" A smokescreen for what?!?

    God. How embarrassing for you. You must feel really mortified. So Lafferty was a vast upgrade then ouch.
