Football vs Business Strategy

Bell is debatable and Rothwell can’t be classed as a hit currently as he doesn’t play.

Rothwell - hit

Armstrong - hit

Davenport - n/a

Loanees

Chapman - big hit until injury

Payne - hit

Antonsson - miss

Reed - big hit

Palmer - miss (subjective)

Harper - miss

 

Agree with most of those and that for the most part Mogga's signings have been poor. Dack is the one stand out exception.

A case can certainly be made for Smallwood. I rate Smallwood and think he gets a lot of unfair stick. He isn't a playmaker but he is a good def mid. It's not his fault that there is no creativity besides Dack in the team. If we'd signed Celina and Freeman then it might have been a different story. 

Whittingham was one you missed. He was appalling. 

Rothwell, Bell and AA fall into the 'maybe'. Rothwell hasn't played enough to be a hit. He has ability but so does Palmer and he is a long way from being a hit. AA has been awful this season. Bell has been a liability at times although he had his best game in a Rovers shirt IMO on Saturday. 

Davenport may be the answer if he gets a chance. Played well for Burton in the Championship last season by all accounts. 

Mowbray's signings seem to be getting progressively worse which is a worry. None of this summer's (except loanee Reed) can get in the team/play well.

Fair

Everyone knew Dack was class before we signed him. Let's be honest if the guy had more left on his contract it would have taken a 2m-3m bid at least.

 

I look at that list of players and it doesn't really intregue me or get me excited. It's very plain if that makes sense.

Which would cost more for this season then? 

That would be dependent on if we are paying a loan fee until January, and how much the first installment of the transfer fee is wouldn't it? and obviously his wages

It's a policy Rovers finally landed on with Dack but then partly threw straight out the window again with Brereton !

Only in Venky land eh.
