Macedonian Gerrard on 13:05 - Sep 15 with 2356 views | bournemouthblue | His first home game was misleading also, he looked dynamite with a belting finish I don't think he was that bad a player in fairness to him but he didn't quite match the hype [Post edited 15 Sep 2019 13:07]

Magic wasn't magic with the money was he. That was his downfall, under restraints he signed great players like David Wright, Counago, Miller, Walters, Legwinksi and with money he signed Thatcher, Stead, Norris and Shumi. Easy to see what went wrong, I mean Stead and Norris were okay but no better than the players he got shot of to bring them in like Alan Lee. | | | |

He essentially replaced Alan Lee with Jonathan Stead Stead did a job but was never a targetman Did he sign Macauley or was that Keane? By in large you have to say, the money Magic spent was spent badly Did he sign Walters when we had a lack of money also or was that once Evans had come in? | |

Stead did a decent job. We knew we were overpaying for Norris because of the sell on. Miller was a returning player. He brought in Alan Quinn free too. I think you have to credit the guy who brought in Walters for £150k and spent nothing else that first season. Then brought in Mcauley for a very sensible price. His only massive overspends were probably Shumi and Norris. Shumi wasnt a fortune. [Post edited 15 Sep 2019 19:39]

The money wasnt spent badly. We were as good under magic as we have been for a very long time, bar one season of effectiveness under MM. | |

David Norris made sense at the time though, even if overpriced because of the sellon. Had performed well for Plymouth in the Championship with a few POTY awards with them and an extra leader within the squad. But was then slapped on the wing, instead of at CM, where he was ill-suited yet still grabbed 1 goal/10 games in a squad that had issues finding the net. | | | |

Before Evans came in he did well, I think he lost the plot once Evans arrived Magic certainly turned us around after Royle went | |

Pretty certain Quinn was half a million. For most part Jim bought decent players, the problem was that he brought in 3 midfielders when we needed 1! | |

And failed to secure a left midfielder when that's all we ever appeared to require really He stuck Billy Clarke and Gary Roberts out there but neither were ideal Later in the season, he experimented with Walters pit there and it simply didn't work | |

Wasn’t Civelli a Magic purchase? And Gio on loan? | | | |
