Gandalf's shin pads Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 In terms of quality, what he cost us and the impact he had I'd go for Stimac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Clough Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 1 hour ago, TigerTedd said: That is an impressive list. does this bring us to the conclusion that Nigel had a better recruitment record than anyone since? Definitely more hit than miss. Even when only looking at players bought for a fee, Maguire (£400K) and Sammon (Barker type fee) are the only 2 I can recall than didn't work out as expected.

May Contain Nuts Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 4 hours ago, sage said: 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. Don't be silly. The only measure of how good a player is is how many goals and assists they got in a particular set up, ignoring all context or long term impact on team performances.

When you think of the millions we’ve wasted since.... I know Martin was on a free.....what a signing that was! Think clough also got keogh and barker didn’t he?

Day Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 This thread is great, the utter confusion as to what @TigerTedd was asking. We have players since Brian Clough, we have players since Nigel Clough which was the question, but then we even have players signed by Nigel Clough. Bit like headlines in the press, reactions without reading the article, which given the clickbait nature is bonkers, but that’s another discussion. Don’t think some got this far Tedd ? “so, as the title says, who actually is our best signing since Clough brought in the likes of Bryson, Martin, Keogh, Mascarell, Eustace etc? I’m thinking effectiveness, longevity, fan reaction.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsnip Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Ince & Vydra are the obvious ones but assuming he keeps us up then it's got to be Kazim. He doesn't get the award until we're safe though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Tom Ince all day long. Big initial fee, but more than doubled our money, and he contributed so many goals and assists in between. Best winger we’ve had in my time watching. How we could do with someone of his quality now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cannable Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I’ve only seen Davies mentioned once which is a bit unfair. He was utterly immense under Rowett, like Barker and Shackell’s best bits in one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
