The signings of Bamba Hoilett Etheridge NML and Paterson for a combined fee of what - approx £500k - was genius and transformed a relegation threatened side into a promotion winning team. That was outstanding work

The signings of Reid and Murphy made sense at the time and though expensive we will mostly get our money back and Murphy could still come good

The signings of Flint Smithies and Cunningham made no sense as we already had those positions in the team filled and they were very expensive back ups ( I know Flint is not a back up but he should be!)

All the signed strikers have been a complete waste of time and money ( Ward is the best of the bunch)

You would say that group of signings made initially for such a low cost leaves Warnock in much credit despite the money wasted on Madine and Glatzel and Vassell. Could also be argued he wouldn't have needed to gamble on Glatzel and Vassell if the tragedy surrounding Sala didn't happen.

So overall far more positive than negative despite the frustrations of this season
