Do you consider Da Costa a successful signing yes or no?

Yes. He was signed as backup to Dabo, he did that job. But I’m talking to a guy who counts by far our best player as a “semi success” so fuck knows.

The fact you consider Hamer better than O'Hare says it all really.

Tbf I know it doesn’t say much for his previous performances but I thought Da Costa was showing improvement towards the back end of the season

Which is our model after all: sign players with obvious flaws and try to iron them out.

Love how you’ve retreated from “all our foreign signings are shit and Hamer is crap” to “If you don’t love O’Hare the most your opinion isn’t worth listening to”. Top notch back pedalling.

How am i back pedalling. All our foreign signings have been crap generally, and Hamer I said was semi succesful considering his form dropped off a cliff after Christmas. You ignoring the fact you considered Dabo an overseas signing despite the fact he came from Chelsea and everyone else has said the same.

So if it’s not the scouting what is your hypothesis for why players who have to travel over water to get here are shit?

Agreed. Hamers goals really helped even though his performances dropped. O’Hare needs to add goals to his game now, he’s a real busy player and exciting on the ball but needs to add goals to his game now

I don't see how that backs up your argument lol, Hyam won it last year but wouldnt say he is our "Best Player" that's the most liked player award as voted by fans.

I love how people on here act like they personally know him and his attitude. If Robins has worked with him and thinks he can get the best out of him then I trust that, Bright was an outstanding player for us.

And that sums it up for me too.

If Robins wants him then that’s fine with me.

I agree but would add that Waghorn does bring a lot of experience with him and if he gets the chances max did last season he'll be hitting 10 goals. We need that experience to ensure things like forest away doesn't happen again.

We've made 3 signings, I think 2 are ok and the jury is out on Moore.

If we make more signings like we've seen I'll be disappointed but if we resign Walsh, Osti and someone like Sanderson from wolves, it could turn into a great window.

If we were dead set on promotion I might agree it’s not an inspiring signing. But we’re not. Expectations are running wildly out of control I think

Well you don’t count Dabo even though he will have been scouted abroad, you don’t count Rose, why don’t you just say what your point is? What’s the problem with players who have to travel over water to get here?

Dabo overseas lol. Hamer who we had to spend £1m on. Schmmeee has a weird obsession with the foreign signings so much so that he spent the whole of last season trying to convince everyone DaCosta was good. The reason we’ve had to shop abroad was because we couldn’t afford proven championship players

I didn’t even want to have this argument! It’s a boring as the old “CCFC are Sisu” crap.

Fine. Everyone signed from overseas is awful. Every player signed from the U.K. is a success.

How do you know we scouted him abroad, someone posted an article saying we signed him based on recommendations from Viveash from his time playing, he played half a year at Swindon, he played for Chelsea in the Checka trade.

Our relatively good run at the end of the season came from a really aggressive style, closing and harrying the opposition. There is just no way Bright could fit into that. We could afford to have him in L1 where we had more possession but not now.
Click to expand...

The time to have signed him was after his loan period ended. Since then, he’s not done anything, for anyone.

For whatever reason, Bright just hasn’t got what it takes to make it at a good level. Wasted talent.

You don’t think we’d have watched him at all the season before we signed him? And again: Rose, Hamer, Jobello, Dacosta, even Kasta had the right ability but not the right mentality.

Not all signings work out. No shit. But two thirds is a decent record and about the same as domestic signings but cheaper.

2/3rds of our overseas signings certainly did not work out.

Fine. You want every signing to be first choice even if they weren’t signed for it and to perform in divisions above that they were signed in. I have different expectations.

Honestly you can have this one I genuinely don’t care that much. All this to defend signing Martyn Fucking Waghorn.
