Shocking recruitment by the club. King needs to address this and get in place a recruitment team before January asap.

It is timely to say some of us were wary of signing Simms and Wright for £15 million

Can’t believe that our crack recruitment department of Robins mate from St Albans and some bloke from AFC Wimbledon don’t seem to be up to scratch.

That Ayari or what ever his name is from Brighton is awful so slow , once Callum is up to speed might as well send him back

Ayari for me is one of the worst loans we have ever had. Out of his depth completely and most of the time looks lost. He needs to go back in January, Brighton paid 6 million for him. Never going to be worth that.

Yet we dropped Sakamoto for him who had a half decent game last game.

I know it’s far from our biggest problem atm, but this guy has started one game for us having signed on deadline day. He’s our second most expensive signing of the year, and our most expensive defender ever. What exactly is the thinking here?

For whatever reason Hamer was not replaced. It's obvious we need investment in our midfield, but based on our new signings, I wonder if King will be nervous giving MR another wedge to spend in January.

Circa 3.5m I believe. I’m also pretty good at spelling, which seems to evade you.

Lionel Messi joined Miami for free, does that mean we never need to spend money again?

King must be asking if he can trust the recruitment to identify anymore players.

DaSilva - Free - alright
Latibeaudiere- free- decent
Binks - Loan - decent


Ayari - Loan - Shit
Simms - 3.5m - Double shit
Wright - 7.7m - Triple shit
Van Ewjik- 4m - player there, think he'll be good
Tats - 1.2m - good player but MR dont rate him
Collins - 500k - who knows?
Thomas - 2m - wank
Kitching -4m - pointless


So in summary we've spunked loads of money on shit players

Less than we paid for a 5th choice centre-half then, yeah? Did I spell all that correctly? Divvy.

He may have slightly over estimated by a third so say that as well as perhaps address the value for money aspect that the poster is obviously driving at?

You’re the only one arguing that we shouldn’t have spent money.

We should have spent. But clearly the players we spent it on aren’t performing for now at least.

Your initial point was 'we haven't spent anything'.

I'd have been happy with 10 million investment in 7-8 full time players and a few quality loans on top. A slightly larger investment than previous years, but nothing that would cause us long term damage.

But why not spend more? I don’t think the spending is the problem, it’s the players we’ve spent it on.

We've made it a lot more difficult then it needed to be, can pick up a lot of quality from other championship sides for free or relatively modest fees and they don't have the extra baggage like moving across Europe brings.
