Enks -in his St Johnstone kit"Enks" went for trial with the Saints last Friday, played in a 1-0 win over Spanish outfit Real Valadollid in a friendly on Staurday, agreed terms on Sunday and signed formally today with their boss Derek McInnes quite gushing about what he has seen. "He only joined us for training (Friday) but he wanted to play and was excellent. He had a bit more work to do than I would have liked, to be honest. He took crosses, made saves and kicked well. He deserved to be well pleased with his performance."
Good Luck to Enks but as Aston Villa and Cardiff City fans will testify, you're never too far away from a calamity with him as I'm sure St Johnstone fans will get to see the best and worst of him in time.
What's more noteworthy is that he joins a drain of yesterday's men who have moved North, none of whom would be regarded good enough to feature in the Championship. We're talking about a side captained by Jody Morris that also includes Walsall striker Sam Parkin, the veteran Michael Duberry, journeyman Scott Dobie and lower league specialist Cleveland Taylor who played for League Two Burton Albion last season.
Yet this side and these players are the kind of outfit Joe Ledley has opted to face most weeks with Celtic when he could, and should, be in the Premier League or in a better standard of football by staying with City. It's a sharp reminder that the move may be doing wonders for his bank balance but nothing for his football.
