Because he thought Svedberg could improve us? He's talked about him being a goal threat when he gets near the box and he signed him on a 2yr deal for a reason I assume.
Raymond and Smith haven't proven to be decent at all. Both were massively lazy defensively and it's no coincidence at all our defence performances, for the most part, have improved without them playing. The January defeat to Dundee had Raymond not bothering to mark or track back at 2 of the goals at least, then we had the farce away to Hibs (I think, might have been Motherwell) where Smith is 8 yards deeper than the CBs having a casual stroll while they try to play a striker offside.
