I’d love to know who it was that actually recommended him, and some others, as a signing.

Something is seriously wrong with our scouting system.

Imagine the reaction at Fleetwood when they got 400 grand for him, incredible.

You just completely forgetting about Duk, Miovski, Ramadani like?

Just like every other club on the planet some transfers work out and some don't. You're never going to have a 100% scouting success rate.

£400k for someone from the national league down south that had 0 goals and 0 assists to his name when we went to sign him can't be excused

[Studebaker-90]

It’s a shame. He’s just clearly not good enough for this level. Asking him to play wing back was lunacy on warnocks part, that’s concerning. Wish him no ill will, but shouldn’t playing again.

I agree he's shite, but a similar fee for miovski is an absolute steal. Swings and roundabouts.

Obviously not. It’s paying decent money for certain players who are not decent that’s my issue. Too many have come in in recent years that are obviously not up to it. Due diligence on potential signings is vital.

Get that however to spunk so much on a player who scored 2 goals in League 1 is mental, think everyone understands not every transfer works out but seemed obvious from day 1 Morris wouldnt be good enough

400,000 is nothing in football nowadays.

Not when you factor in Or Dadia, Williams, Morris, Stewart, Papa Joe, Richardson, thon Geordie winger (Roberts, was it?) plus the plethora of loans like Longstaff, Samuels, Makandy. There will be many many more; help me, guys?

25% hit rate is not good enough. 

As my dear old dad used to say every time there was a misplaced pass, if I did my job as badly as that, I’d expect to get sacked. Gunner & his recruitment team should be no different

For us it's quite a sizeable investment, ken not every transfer will work out but to spend a fair whack of money on him and Richardson to get little to no return is criminal

Sam Cosgrove was the same. Sometimes it works out sometimes it doesn’t.

Cosgrove cost us at most £40,000 not £400,000

Sam Cosgrove was a punt on a kid that cost £20k.

Morris was signed for 20x that amount to come in as a starter.

They are not comparable signings.

I mind the crowd singing “He doesn’t give a fuck” at Mulgrew last game of the season at St Mirren in 2010. 
 

Good times.

There's also plenty that have been well worth the money paid for them. Ferguson, Cosgrove, Mclean to name a few.

So you are really putting it as high as 3/4 signings are not a hit? I don't agree. Just because they aren't sold for millions doesn't mean they aren't a "hit".

We are a small fish in a big pond. Most clubs will have a 35-50% hit rate in the market we are shopping in.

Ps half the players you named weren't signed for a fee - free or loans..

£400k + a 4 year deal on probably £3k a week is an outlay of £1m on an absolutely abysmal player.

We aren't Man City.

Those you name were signed almost a decade ago now, our recent hit rate has been abysmal. 25% is kind.

Gie him to Barnet for nothing.

If they insist on giving us something, tell them to stick £100 into the kitty for the Christmas Party

There’s no chance Barnet will have him for nothing, AFC will have to pay them a significant amount for them to take him off their hands

He still has 2.5 years left on his contract. It's grim.

Do we know how much Ruby, Jensen, Richardson, Gueye, Sokler, Clarkson, miovski & duk cost?

would be interesting and disturbing to learn the total cost of our squad of shite (not saying all those players are bad)

You may be right min. A "standout" for a Fleetwood Town team when in League One, who are now dangerously hovering above the EFL drop zone.

Depends if he's  talking about Forrest Gump or Greyhound.
