Yes I meant as a signing for us rather than as a footballer. Hard to call a player a failure if they score against Roma (and others) in the Europa League.
Agree he doesn't really suit Hughton's system. Not sure what his best position is but I agree it might be part of a 4-3-3.
Agreed. I think the form of Baldock has been a blow for Manu's chances. Though, even if he got a run in the side, I'm not sure if he's right for English football. If we get another striker, I think we'll sell him in January.
It is amazing, considering how many players we've signed since Hughton...
But that's a completely different point. Scouts are paid to make decisions. That is their job. They make decisions on players.
Some on here are notorious for criticising players. You only have to look at the Stockdale thread, which funnily enough has not resurfaced today as he saved us...
It is almost like people should give players time to settle in rather than judging them on their first two games. Duffy looks a fantastic signing (as do Norwood and Sidwell) yet there were people writing them off already in early September. The criticism of him after his second game on this...
It's always hard to say though. Who would have thought at the start of December last year that Goldson would be undoubted first choice centre back at the end of the season but things change. With no loan window this year, we do need quality options who can come in and Hughton has shown that he's...
Sunderland are after Mawson so he's more likely to go there than us and Martin is staying at Norwich. I thought Duffy did okay in the Euros but agree he's not worth £4 million
