Yeah that's absolutely true Eric. You're right to point that out.
Unfortunately it was his expensive buys which were rubbish .
I don't want to list them because I don't like to knock players but I can't help saying Gary Madine!!! There were plenty of others too, and really you can't help thinking that for the millions he paid we should be a fantastic team.
On the whole we shouldn't be dipping into the lower leagues for first team bargains , although we should certainly be bringing guys like this one in and bringing them on. He might be a revelation and I think in his case that's possible , but he might be ruined if he's dropped straight in the deep end against much quicker defenders because that'd ruin his confidence.
Actually I think that happened to Gavin Whyte a bit , while it had the opposite effect on Curtis Nelson, who'd been his team mate.
Mind you, I don't want or mean to be negative about this boy.
