Seeing as a lot of people are pointing fingers at Burke regarding poor player acquisition, I have compiled a list of all signings the Albion have made since Burkes arrival late in 2011. I have gone through the players and rated them as successful signings or not successful signings. Obviously this is an objective analysis, but I don't think there will be too many of you who disagree with my "rating". Development squad signings are hard to judge, they may flourish next season, however as of know only Rohan Ince looks like he has been a successful dev squad signing.
Looking at the results, it seems like we have around a 50% success rate with player acquisition. Is this good enough? I have no idea how it compares with other clubs, but to met it seems like we really need to improve our player recruitment, especially with FFP looming and our heavy losses.
