Lost indeed. He had no idea where he should be playing. Very poor. |  |

May have only seen a few minutes watching Philogene on 18:52 - Feb 1 with 4082 views | Hugoagogo_Reborn | It felt like every time he made a decent run forward he couldn't see the needed pass or just decided to do it all himself. Seems a bit desperate to impress, atm. |  | |  |

Can't really learn on the job for £21m in January. So many warning signs we should have abandoned the pursuit. |  |

I said similar in another thread. Too many similar players at the same stage of development. 1 or 2 is fine. I think our recruitment strategy has been wrong since we’ve been promoted and is the biggest area of growth for the management team, as it feels (without fully checking) that we’ve had more duds than aces since he’s been here. One or two exceptions aside (Massimo, Hirst, Davis), our star players over the last few years were already here - Walton, Vas, Morsy, Chappers, Burns, Burgess, Woolfie, Janoi. |  |

The worst possible time to sign him. We needed someone who could give us some presence in the spine of the team. Dare I say it, a hard b****d. The obsession with number 10's is doing my head in frankly, it's not what's needed at the moment. Feels like we are making signings you'd either do in a prem second season to bolster your squad options or if you are resigned to going down already. Too much bouncing off opponents and running into blind alleys going on. |  |

Agree. Makes me wonder if Mick Ma is secretly director of football. He loved signing endless terrible wingers. |  |

No. Signed by our darling McKenna. Who is increasingly showing that he is out of his depth in the top league. |  | |  |

I see your McDonnell and raise you Liam Feeney. Although for transparency I am still a big lover of Mick. |  |

I'd written him off before he arrived. Terrible buy. Terrible. |  |

Point of Order - he was so homesick, he went to Cyprus, IIRC |  | |  |

It says more about you than him, if you wrote him off before he arrived. |  | |  |
May have only seen a few minutes watching Philogene on 20:17 - Feb 1 with 2625 views | Reus30 | I am not annoyed at the signing.. But Jack Clarke was finally finding his footing and building confidence. Having someone come in and skip the queue must be demoralising. I think the issue is Kieran still doesn't know his best side. Which is strange considering the consistency we have had over the last 30 months. |  | |  |
