That's the thing with our transfer policy over these last 10 years Perks. How can we get excited about a new signing that no bugga has even heard of or seen laiking? Take last season with Connell, Phillips, Cadden etc. Wid nivver heard o them but they turned out to be good acquisitions. Duff ez to mould em together into a good unit and get results- that's his bit. The main responsibility for new signings rests wi the recruitment team- In genius James we trust!!

Gone are the days when tried and tested proven quality player comes into Oakwell -the likes of a David Currie returns or a Wayne Biggins comes in or a John Hendrie, Neil Thompson or a Craig Hignett type player signs. It's just a case of suck it and see these days. Some signings work out, others not so.
