not sure Spence. Or to an extent kaleta came here with known injury problems.
Looking at hamshaw signings
Some are a mystery, some are why bother whilst others are just unlucky

Cann. 3 reasons why you would bring him in.
he's as good as what we had.
He's better than what we have
Or cheap and always a number 2 (mystery)

Agbaird. Looks a good prospect from the showings. (Unlucky)

Baptiste. Good prospect. Will make a good championship player in time.

Holmes. 1 good game 3 stinkers. I can't pinpoint why. (Mystery)

J Holmes. 50 split on the fans. Some loved him. Others said he offers nothing. I was in the latter so (Mystery)

Benson. Hamshaw took a risk which so far hasn't worked out. Get him fit and playing and he's a top player. Sadly we can't do that. (Unlucky)

Gore. Glimpse of his ability last season so was a no brainer to sign him again. Not sure how hard it was to get his signing though credit to hamshaw for getting it. (Hammy's best signing)

Spence. Not massively impressed myself though several goals and motm awards other think he is impressive enough. (Unlucky)

Kaleta. Young. Pacy, and threatening going forward. Potential to be a good player if coached properly and kept fit. (Unlucky)

Hall. Being played in a wrong formation imo to make the most of him. He's a threat on the wing and knows how to score a goal. Good feet and has pace. Play Rafferty at RB and hall Infront of him would make him a real attacking asset. (Close 2nd to gore as best signing)

Kayode. What can you say about this one. Hamshaw worst signings in the summer. (Mystery )

Etete. Proved at Cardiff he scores goals when he plays. Sadly he only plays about 10% of the season. Hamshaw knew what he was getting before he arrived so big fail by hamshaw imo. (Mystery)

Sherif. Everything about this lad says he will score 1 in 3 when he's fit. Bad luck or known problems? Nothing suggests he had problems before arriving so has to be (unlucky)

Yearwood. Not worked out, is it lack of game time or just ability? Tbh he would probably make a good fullback. (Unlucky)

Martha. He must have had some stunning games when we scouted him or he's not adapted to the English game cos he has offered nothing. He's lazy out of possession and regular looses the ball to the opposition. (Mystery)
