I think the debate has established a few things. 1) If you’re spending £4m on a player try and make sure they are good. 2) If you’re spending 1-2m on a player try and make sure they are good and 3) if you’re signing someone for more or less than that try and make sure they are good.

It’s just such an easy job picking out good, ‘proven quality’ players for us to sign…

I think this is the crux actually. For £4m+ I think most expect more hit than miss. For £1-2m I think most can accept a lower hit rate. People are expecting ‘proven quality’ for £4m+, whether they should be or not. For this club that’s an awful lot of money historically.

I just think £4-5 mil on any L1 player is expensive tbh, and at the very least our recruitment team can’t seem to get it right with L1 players for whatever reason. (Just for the record I think EMC will improve a lot but I’m still disappointed with spending £4 mil on Kitching, so far anyway.)

What did Vik, Hamer and Sheaf all have as a common link. They all had Time, if players were the finished product they wouldn’t sign for us. Give them time, not like anyone is stepping up at the moment.

It’s cute you mention me and yet…

Hamer.

Petulant, not improved in 3 years, value decreasing by the minute. The sooner the rid the better.
