    Seems to be a few mentions of not getting the support promised. I'm not sure they were as good as they make out, support or not.

    It's not just us, plenty others have overpaid for very average players.

    Moore is getting far too much credit. Doesn’t the other forward they’ve signed, Al-Hamadi, have a better goals to minutes played ratio?

    lol Fleeced by a club taking the piss out of an inexperienced owner that paid way above market value. But I get what you mean.

    I think Grigg is an the exception as Donald got the piss taken out of him. but 9 times out of 10 we have gotten it right, Bent, Gyan,Fletcher,Stewart,Wyke,Jones (covering a few eras there) all scores Goals. Yes there's been a few duds mixed in, but historically we've always had a good keeper and strikers. Borini was one of the most shocking because he was a machine when on loan.

    I dont think that Grigg is an exception, how about Altidore or Connor Whickam, however you spell it.
    I take your point that quality players cost good money, but spending good money doesn't always guarantee that you sign a good player, that fits the team. You have to do your due diligence to ensure that you get what you think you are paying for.
    The counter argument is of course that you can pick up a bargain, now and again, Kevin Phillips anyone.

    For all of the big money they’ve wasted on ****e, Leeds paid around £1.5m for Summervile. Plymouth paid the same for Morgan Whittaker. He’s one I’d definitely be going in for in the summer if the price is reasonable, can’t see it being more than a few million if they go down.

    Whitaker would be a very smart pick up for any championship team that can fit him in

    Don’t know what the odds are but I would happily put £25 on us passing them this time next year.

    Broadhead one reason, they have been fantastic, and Moore, no team has ever done what they have done in the championship from league one/3rd div etc. and we thought we did great last season our plan has been terrible.
