Of the players signed by Cookie "that summer" on 16:28 - Jan 11 with 3962 views | DinnernotTea | Edwards and Harper especially were not signed by Cook. By Ashton instead. In the case of Edwards, we had Jacobs at Portman Road ready to sign but owners/CEO thought otherwise. Those two been poor signings. Morsy, Chaplin and Walton only signed because of Cook. Ashton got away scot free with that poor summer window. | |

It was scattergun as fk that Summer, a pretty poor success rate despite a lot of money spent, Fraser and Piggot are two of the worst signings of the whole banter era. [Post edited 11 Jan 16:36]

And we still see people saying trust his signings. Why? He's had some good. But he's had more bad than good. No wonder he wants the media quiet when it comes to signings. | |

I heard that Ashton is so in denial about Burns being a bad signing he insists that KM plays him as often as possible. [Post edited 11 Jan 17:31]

Why would anyone give a crap why or how we signed Chaplin, Morsy and Walton? We're just glad we did, aren't we? | |

Odd to call out Fraser as one of the worst signings of the recent past. He hardly played and we sold him FOR A PROFIT the very next window…. Stylistically both he and Piggott were odd given the system we were religiously playing as neither really fitted into any of the positions of Cooks 4231 or the style of play.. | | | |

12 league goals for a loanee isn't an awful return. I think to say that the loan was a disaster for us would be a ridiculous thing to say | | | |

Well considering he scored 1 in 30 games after the start he had then yeah it's a miss rather than a hit. | |

Sold for a profit. But we'd have spent a fair bit on wages for a player who didn't play... you'd say we basically broke even wouldn't you? | |

Surely signings aren't just a binary between great and bad? Surely Bonne would fit into the ok/good category? | | | |
