Indeed.
And am forever baffled by who sanctioned David Ngog to get 30k a week.

Paloschi cost us £8m?!

I work with a guy in Bologna who supports SPAL. They had a spell in Serie A which coincided with Paloschi being there, he spoke quite highly of him.

Yeah I didn't think he was terrible, but from my memory he was one of Jenkins (any Guidolin obvs) £3/5m buys, didn't realise it was closer to £10m!

I remember when he came on against WBA away for his first game, looked really sharp, just never happened really after that.

I'd agree with this - thought he had the potential but for whatever reason it never happened - we had a few that should have fitted in better than they did around that time IMO

Can't imagine settling into a different football culture when you're a striker joining a team mid-season with their backs to the wall, clinging on for grim death is the easiest of things to do. I was hopeful of a decent return the following campaign. Though, with the Brad Bobbly debacle that followed, I'm quite sure he never doubted he'd made the right decision to cut his spell here short.
