With the budget he has, he has to take risks.
He has in general did well with taking in proven SPFL quality who failed to capitalise elsewhere, but I agree out with that, there's not been many that have outperformed their level.



I didn't comment on him as we've not seen enough of him yet.
Hampered by an injury pre-season and will give him time to settle / show his worth.



Possibly so, but I wonder where he will go that he gets the opportunity to thrive as he does here.
I'm not convinced England will suit him.



It does seem to be getting tougher
- I was a "doubter" due to the horrific injury he suffered, as opposed to a dissenter - I was touting Louis Moult instead

- He takes too many risks with injury prone players who have a history of missing a lot of games.

- Re Forrester, agreed - he'll get until the next transfer window to show something or else we cut our losses IMO

- He's too soft for lower league English football - would like him to re-sign here, but get the impression that would've happened by now (ditto Shinnie incidentally). Think GMS fancies a go in England.

- It's getting tougher because of the myopic approach we have to recruitment, and also, as I've said before, Russ Richardson appears to be pretty weak as a "head of recruitment"
If we saw a list of all the players signed by DM, including all the sh1te loans, I reckon he'd be a 1 in 3 in terms of success.
Not good enough.
