I think all these crap January signings and huge waste of money is partly due to us the fans putting unnecessary pressure on the board to make signings, any signings! Getting in Forster was brilliant, and a couple of other January loans have been semi successful too. Forster in particular was an inspired loan deal that has paid off big time. But how many January signings have we made that has done nothing more than create a bloated squad with the new signings hardly getting a game?
Paddy Klimala, Ismaila Soro, Kundai Benyu, Manny Perez, Vakoun Bayo, Marian Shved, Andrew Gutman, Scott Bain, Jack Hendry, Marvin Compper, Lewis Morgan, Scott Allan, Nadir Ciftci
Be honest, if you passed by any of these guys in the street, how many would you recognize? Out of all of them, maybe Scott Bain is the only worthwhile signing (so far), and even that is debatable! The rest, apart from Morgan who we recouped most of the investment, have been a complete waste of spondoolies. So why all this clamor for the board to get their cheque books oot every January? The last 3 January windows has cost us over 10 million quid, and what improvements have been made to the team? Not a lot! Certainly no 10 million quids worth!
