Hoop BlahM-U-R-T-Y Our ratio of cheap potential's successes to flops isn't particularly bad recently.
Off the top of my head...
David Mooney
Alan Bennett
There are probably more.
Williams still has a chance but I can't see how he will break into the first team at all.
Depends what you call recently, and of course who you deem to be a success or a failure.
A few names you might've included if going back to since we won promotion (it's a time when our requirements and resources soared almost overnight). My criteria is non-established players, not just freebies like De La Cruz, who we were buying for the future (so not like Stack who performed his job as backup).
Hit
Andersen (even though he's not played)
Miss
Mate (might only have been a loan actually - do they count?)
Sodje
Bozanic
Vasilev
Thorvaldsson
Maybe
Williams, M
Williams, B
Cummings
Manset
Sure I'm also missing a few more, and the likes of Vasilev and Bozanic are borderline because of their ages. Perhaps if they're in then others like Sigurdsson and Ilugasson should be too (the difference being we signed these two as 18 year olds I think, and paid money for Vasilev too).
id say that record compares more than favourably to any club you care to mention. which is astounding considering mostclubs youd compare to had spent millions on all their flops
