Wilson was responsible for signing Greer, Douglas and Lucas on free transfers. 3 players of unbelievable quality for free transfers. His luck ran out with Pericard, Prutton and Dossevi.
Why was there not more targets than Benyon and the Plymouth lad in january?

Fitton (or Wilson) said they didn't even make their first contact with Torquay until about 5pm or something like that, so he was obviously a last minute panic buy. He was one of the top scorers in League Two when he joined us so he should be more than capable of scoring 20 for us next season - just need to get him the right partner.
But we still signed him, didn't we! On the very same Benyon signing thread people were moaning we didn't work to exhaust all options. Now people are bemoaning the fact Benyon was a last minute buy. |

Who's responsibility is it to identify players? |

I think the massive error with Benyon is that he is another lightweight player who is even labelled a finisher of chances and not a creator. Not what we need but in the right team he'll be class I feel.

Well, it certainly isn't the chairman's responsibility. Who do the scouts report to? |

The criterion for buying players was too strict. I dont think the board considered paying money for players over 24. Which was something we had to do. |

So surely it is safe to assume the lack of available options lays with Wilson?

And still, with AT LEAST 300k to spend, Wilson could only find three? |

There is a problem with signing strikers in the summer. Their agents seem to do a merry go round and they go to the highest bidder/wage payer (usually Huddersfield).
It all seems a bit more low key in january, and it seems easier to get business done.
We havnt managed to sign a decent striker in the past 2 summers, and I dont think we'll sign one this summer either.

I think this board are too idealistic in terms of wanting to sign such young players. Its not even as if we give them long contracts. Scott Cuthbert is walking out on us already. |

I don't think anybody's saying Wilson was free of blame, but given Fitton's openness about how he wants the club to run (he's been pretty open about preferring to spend money on youngsters), it's fair to presume that he was involved in the whole January transfer window disaster.

I think most managers in this league would bite the board's hand off for the parameters Wilson has to work within. |
