Firstly, Sanchez and Aurier are both first team regulars, we rotate our fullbacks, so that's two. Moura I'm not sure what catagory you've put him in but he's clearly in the first team plans, if a bit rusty. Then sissoko, like him or not has clearly been an important part of the squad this season.
The rest yeah sure, but you've been slightly disengenous by including signings of players meant to be backups. Janssen and llorente was never meant to overtake Kane, they were always meant to be back ups so although they underperformed, to paint them as failures because neither became first choice is weak.
Wanyama 10m, dele 5m, dier 4m, alderwiereld 11m, Davies 10m, trippier 3.5m, son 22m, vorm 5m
(All roughly)
That's 8 first team players for 70.5, it works both ways. Show me a significantly better, consistent recruitment record and your point will be valid but until then I'll stick with the manager who's consistently improved our first team and squad on a 0 net spend budget.
But most of those “great value” signings were made when we had a “head of recruitment” weren’t they?
