Thing is we forget(myself included) that the chore of the team will consist of mainly british players anyway we just seem to be adding a few foreigners but even some of these have had experience over here.

Buckle's signings for Rovers seem a lot like my transfer policy on FM; purely for the fact that I've heard of them and they were once a bit good.
Hell, we thought Pericard and Prutton were good signings for League One and look where that ended us.

Hit the nail on the head. A "name" is not necessarily a good signing - and an unknown is not, per se, unambitious. At our level, unless you are a full-time scout, its always a case of wait and see for us fans. I knew very little about Parkin, Cox, Ward or Austin before they came here. I'd heard of Nalis... |

i'd never heard of chris hay, george ndah, steve finney or peter thorne before we signed them and they turned into fan favourites pretty quickly

Great examples - thinking back to that time, I'm not sure I've ever seen a player so changed by an injury than Hay. Superb before injury, a couple a flashes afterwards. That was a real shame. |

I think he spent a couple of unsuccessful years at Huddersfield and then went back to Scotland, I think with St Johnstone.

Can't remember that? You sure you're not thinking of Phillipe Cuervo another unknown who turned out to be pretty good until the injury. i think chris hay did break his leg but i was only young then so cant remember exactly, it was an injury that took him out for half a season atleast. matt o'halloran was another who had to quit football because of a broken leg seems we have had a few players who careers went downhill after injury during or just after they left us |

Cuervo was awesome! another unknown who turned out to be pretty good until the injury. i think chris hay did break his leg but i was only young then so cant remember exactly, it was an injury that took him out for half a season atleast.
matt o'halloran was another who had to quit football because of a broken leg seems we have had a few players who careers went downhill after injury during or just after they left us
(Keith) O'Halloran :p I remember that day in Dorchester, horrifying tackle and an horrific break. Cannot believe Elliot only got a yellow and he is still to this day (other than Beauchamp) the only play I truly despise. |
