True he did sign some duds Harley, Dobbie, Holdroyd spring to mind, but he also signed players that have brought in around £16 mill to the club.
Who in the last 26 players signed, is likely to bring even a quarter of that sum, or even demand a decent transfer fee?
So why after making 26 signings, is there still a majority of players brought in by Gus. making the squad. Our recruitment guy has been on Albion roar stating his role is to make sure the signings he brings in are better than what we already have. Is he succeeding?
Where have I sighted any of the players are good, I have listed all the Gus signings still attached to the club.
I am merely saying that two mangers on, the backbone of the squad was signed by Poyet and the balance of our teams are mainly loan players.
You can add to that Fenelon, Harris, Maksimenko, Walton, Rae all in the current first team squad on the official site.
All these player's listed signed by Gus, I make that 16
Add Forster Caskey, Ince with Calderon, CMS, Walton on the bench all Gus signings.
Go back a week against Blackburn and you had Dunk, Greer, Calderon, Forster Caskey, LuaLua, Ince, Walton in the side and Ankergran on the bench.
Here is a stat that worries me, we have signed 26 players since Gus left and yet each week the team has a majority of Gus signings still in the side. A few of these are getting on now, but it appears we are still unable to find better who can displace these players. How much have these 26 cost...
