Just seen Michael ball in the echo saying about bad investment in players got me thinking are the players we've bought in the last windows really that bad
Jordan pickford 26mil
Potentially England's world cup keeper got to be money well spent
Wayne Rooney FT back were he started and are top scorer played anywhere and will always give his all decent signing
Coco Martina FT limited in ability but should be commended for being willing to play out of position for so long lots of players would not want to play on their opposite foot
We paid no fee and he's willing to earn his wagers value for money
Davy klaassen 25 mil has been wrote off it seems but has he really had a chance started in a struggling side never really got the chance to play himself into form carried the can for some bad team performances can't go from such a good player to such a bad one that quick can definitely come again jury's still out
Lookman 8mil one of the country's brightest young talents burst on to the seen went missing started to get going again then gets loaned out a victim of a new manager hope he comes back and gets another go
Vlasic 10 mil another one who has great potential but the manager dosent fancy hope we keep only young and definitely a player in there
M Keane 26mil had a good start then lost his form when the team was struggling not major money for a English centre back jury's still out
Sigurdsson 45mil big money signing has not been played in his best position so don't feel I can judge him propally but when the shite got salah for 30mil he needs to start producing regular to be worth the money
Sandro 5mil didn't see enough to really find out if he's any good jury's still out
Wallcot 26mil good money for a player of his pedigree hope he does well
Tosun 26mil big in Turkey we will wait and see
So is it all bad on the player front or are these lads victims of bad management thoughts anyone.

Couple of points Alid,
Martina has been ok in a terrible team, don't commend him.
Salah cost 30 mill but oxlade cost 35, siggurdson cost 45. Need I say more?
Walcott great money and Tosun is not expensive.
Vlasic and Lookman need a manager who will progress them.

Martina value for money? Are you kidding me. The guy is being paid you know. He is awful at lb would be awful at rb and awful at making the tea. How he gets in ahead of Garbutt is simply baffling.

why do so many people think garbutt is world class? the lad doesn't start regular for the 23s, he's behind gibson right now and would be 4th choice in u23s if robinson and connelly wernt out on loan!
martina is nothing more than a scapegoat for a lot of people but i have a lot of respect for him, he signed for us a a bit of cover, a squad player, he might not be technically great but he doesn't stop he's playing out of position and putting 110% effort in week in week out which is more than can be said bout some of or "better" players.

Moody has said Garbutt is world class. However he can kick a ball with his left foot, so he is already better than Martina, who can’t kick a ball with either foot.
