    Slade - Peltier/Revell
    Trollope - Bennett/Lambert
    Warnock - Hoilett/Chamakh
    I can't really argue with them but Berget has some serious competition. Eikrem, Cala, Burgstaller, ALF, Guerra, Dikgacoi, Adeyemi and Macheda. I'd say Berget probably trumps them because of the money we paid and he made zero impact.

    I don't think Chamakh was a total disaster, I'd say Camp has probably been the worst as he's been injured and hasn't contributed.

    Fair point about Camp, but a manager can't foresee injury I suppose. Although the type of deal he signed protected us, Chamakh is a player with talent. He could have been great, but just didn't seem bothered.

    He was signed with an injury in fairness. Of all the players we signed that weren't up to much, at least Richardson and Chamakh did something, and were on short term deals.

    Sorry, I stand corrected. Another OGS signing that really bombed was Ravel Morrison. At least, he got one Morrison signing right.

    Didn't Gabby and Young sign Morrison? Or even the famous transfer committee?

    He was signed mid-August 2014, a month before OGS was sacked.

    Was he? I thought he was an emergency loan in October? I remember it coming completely out of the blue.

    That's a week after OGS got the chop.
