Santos to Reading

The money we are wasting on duff players

The money we are wasting on players wages that don’t contribute to the first team, has to be a big concern going forwards.
This has to be down to the recruitment set up in the first place.
It’s false economy to skimp on the expertise required, to run it efficiently.
You’d like to assume the grown ups trust the set up they have in place.
In our case, I hope he’s Worth it
Which of other of our recent signings haven't contributed to the first team?

Football is squad game these days, we need an element of player who is happy to recognise their place in the squad as back up and if they get their chance they take it.

Unfortunately for Santos he picked up his injury and Ben and Cam have more or less been ever present this season.

As fans we have to acknowledge that not every signing is going to work out as expected.

Don’t you know that every player that every club sign up and down the land, is always a big success. Apart from us of course, because we are rubbish 🙄
 
Santos was never going to be anything other than 4th choice CB. Ben and Cameron have been fit the whole time, he wouldn’t be expected to play unless injuries and suspensions. The next 4th choice CB will likely not play either…

I was including loanees as well, re wages. Benson, Santos, Bianchini ( still 2 yrs left on contract) Fisher, and a possible Idah ? Granted early days, but if you’d listened to Celtic fans, they couldn’t believe their luck on unloading him for £6m

Bianchini and Fisher, how far do you want to go back? Throw Martin Hayes in there as well, now he was really shit.
