Signings from non-league football

I think the problem now is that people want an off the shelf top rate player. the idea of actually coaching and improving players is completely foreign to most fans, and managers. Its for this reason that so many players go on to better things after leaving us. We sign a player and he's instantly labelled as rubbish or not up to it, booted out to the reserves and left to rot.

I don't disagree with your general point but am struggling to think of too many players in recent years who have gone to better things other than those for which we got a good fee or wouldn't sign a new contract. Gestede is definitely one, possibly Velikonja, but I can't think of others.

yeah maybe "go on to better things" was the wrong phrase to use. We just seem to sign players and scrap them after they played a few games as they have not scored a hatrick on their debut. always liked the look of Tom Adeyemi, Le fondre, all played regular championship football for their previous clubs.

Agree entirely with that.We have spent millions and have very little to show for it.
