Apolgies if there is a post already detailing this, but I did look and couldn't find it in one place. So, as it says in the title. I want to discuss Comollis' signings.
So first up, a list of all the signings I can find....
Dimitar Berbatov - £10.9m from Bayer Leverkusen,
Pascal Chambonda - £5.25m from Wigan
Benoit Assou-Ekottu - £3.5m from Lens,
Didier Zokora - £8.2m from St Etienne,
Ricardo Rocha - £3.3m from Benfica,
Mido – £3.5m from Roma (loan made perm)
Dorian Dervitte - undisclosed from Lille,
Hossam Ghaly - £3.25m from Feyenoord
Darren Bent - £16.5m from Charlton,
Kevin-Prince Boating - £5.4m from Hertha Berlin,
Younes Kaboul - £8.2m from Auxerre,
Gareth Bale - £10m from Southampton,
Adel Taarabt - £2.7m from Lens,
Danny Rose - £680,000 from Leeds,
Ben Alnwick - £1m from Sunderland
Roman Pavlyuchenko - £14m from Spartak Moscow
Vedran Corluka - £8.5m from Man City
David Bentley – £15m from Blackburn

Jonathan Woodgate - £8m from Middlesbrough
Chris Gunter - £3m from Cardiff
Gilberto - £1.9m from Hertha Berlin
.....So firstly apologies if I have made any errors, but please let me know if I need to change anything.
Looking at that list, I would split into 3 categories...Hit, Miss, Undecided.

So out of 25 players, I would view 4 as "hits" of which one is now gone. I don't think that I would still be employed if my success rate was this poor in my job, so why should Comolli. :shrug:
I know this is just my opinion, an everyone has their own, but come on, I'm sure you will find it hard pushed to get that "hit" column much higher.
