Of course he did, but how many hours in the day did our honourable manager have to study all these signings in detail? Look at Groß, an attacking midfielder turned number 10 under Hughton in our first Premier League season to great success!
He had to trust the recruitment team.
Seems to me...
For all Hughton’s faults?
He had very few; have some ****ing respect for our best manger ever.
Secondly, there was a profound lack of Hughton ‘style’ players signed last season.
I don’t view any of these players as Hughton 4-4-1-1 specialists:
Andone
Ali J
Locadia
Schelotto
Suttner
Izquierdo...
