Jram Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I can’t believe nobody has mentioned Craig Bryson! £400,000 from Kilmarnock and he was so good for five or six years! If we’d been so inclined, we could have sold him for a big profit circa 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black ('n' White) Sheep Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 SINCE Nigel Clough? I'll try for a top 10 (I've based these on performance and cost/profit... I've also only gone for permanents) Matej Vydra - Championship top scorer 2017/18 and sold for a profit Tom Ince - cracking for a couple of seasons and sold for a profit Jayden Bogle - paid a pittance for him from Swindon as a youth Cyrus Christie - paid a pittance for him from Coventry as a youth Scott Carson - nominal fee and Player of the Season the year after Colin Kazim-Richards - lets face it, where would we be if we didn't have him as a focal point up front this season? David Marshall - see below Nathan Byrne - combined £200k fee (or similar) with David Marshall? Great bit of business. Graeme Shinnie - great for a freebie Darren Bent - another free transfer, had a good couple of seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IslandExile Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Since Brian: Charlie George Since Nigel: Matej Vydra A lot of posts seem focused on 'profit', maybe a sign that we've become a selling club. The above two players, along with others that have been mentioned created excitement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest that all those in bold were poor signings as they made us worse than the players they replaced and 3 of the 4 simply didn't fit in with how we played.

Very few player in recent years have had such a big impact, especially coming from nowhere like he did! Seconded. Cost nothing so in terms of value for money it's got to be CKR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ram59 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Since Brian - John Gregory was the catalyst that started the recovery from the depths of the third division, only a year after playing for England, a masterstroke signing by Arthur Cox. Since Nigel - CKR, where would we be without him this season, probably all but relegated by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s funny, Gregory was before my time, so I only ever knew him as a manager, and the impression that I got wasn’t that he was some sort of returning hero. He certainly didn’t leave like one. I didn’t even realise he’d been an ex player at the time, let alone such an important one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sith Happens Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I think what a thread like this does is demonstrate that recruitment since clough jnr has been poor at best as there are multiple signings under clough that were better than what we signed since.
