Some good players there, but also some real wastes of space. I know we were desperate, but Jarrett? Wouldn't be surprised if a few of those had already virtually dropped out of professional football, or gone to Scotland. Bob Malcolm, absolute pony.
I take it you have posted this to highlight your point that the problem has more been the scatter gun way money has been spent rather than the total amount.

And there's me thinking the owners are tight

challenge name best XI out of that lot..

If these are the only (and I use that term loosely) players we've signed then I can work out roughly how much money we've spent since the takeover.

"Wouldn't be surprised if a few of those had already virtually dropped out of professional football, or gone to Scotland". Surely this statement is contradictory?

Wow a lot of money has been spent!

Please do

Is there a list of how many playes "let go" from the same period, thanks.

[Bluehoop]

Paddy Kenny
Defenders Mancienne, Walker, Tosic, Orr, Crainie, Connolly, Gorkks,
Midfiled: Routeledge, Adel, Akos, Fuarlin, Watson, Mahon, Mackie, Derry,
Strikers: Hulse, Smith, Simpson, Helguson

That would be a strong squad - and there are a few others that the majority of Championship teams would like also.

Oddly, given Warnocks passion for a striker, we seem to have more midfielders and defenders in the list than strikers

I'd say apart from swapping Smith for Routledge it would be this season's regular starting XI.

Kenny
Walker
Connolly
Gorrks
Hill
Routledge
Derry
Faurlin
Mackie / Busacky
Taraabt
Helguson / Hulse

Maybe Jay Simpson might have a shout but he's hardly set the world alight at Hull so I'd take Helguson.

Scott Sinclair on current form could sneak in. Dusko Tosic was a good left back though so maybe instead of Hill. Watson never really shone for us but has talent so he could probably be included at the expense of Faurlin or Derry.

Michael Mancienne might have been right back if Walker wasn't so damn good.

Worse XI is probably harder as we've had a few turds along the way.

Good squad. Saha, though a tricky attitude back then, was also one that got away.

Re Pete's point: my guess would be that we have signed more players if you include loans than pretty well any other club over that period - but wouldn't necessarily say we were the biggest Championship spenders. Be v interesting to find out if Sir Pie could work that out.

Not sure on Sahar tbh stainrod. I was there that night he scored 2 against Foolham and he did look a prospect. Sadly that was as good as he got but agree he had potential. Any idea where he is now?
I think we agree that there are enough players listed to produce a pretty impressive squad and I would not disagree for one minute that some of the others have been absolute dross - but then even top premier league managers (Ferguson, Benitez, Hodgson for example) have got it wrong on more than the odd occassion - only their mistakes costs millions each time they make them!
