    But I'm sure if he had money to spend he wouldn't off signed them. X,(which was mu point)
    Kiosko and Bramall we paid fees for.....

    3 yrs for Eves does seem strange but he might not have signed a 2yr deal, then who else?
    It's easy to judge later but these players were sifted out has targets in our budget and looked good additions on paper, can't remember lots complaining when we sign them.

    I agree. I'm pretty sure we signed the best players we could given our budget and given who did/didn't want to play for RUFC. Whether they liked the proverbial 'green tea' might also have played a part in the equation. If we hadn't signed these players who could we have signed that met our criteria? The other option of course would have been to sign nobody but that would have left us unable to fulfil our fixtures.

    Bit of effort gone to here when essentially rehashing the same beliefs that have been expressed numerous times.

    You think we haven't recruited well, we get it. Caught the repetition bug off gru?

    Like the sensible heads have noted, we are 13th in the Championship after 17 games. Perfect? No. But do get a grip on the reality of the task we are facing. By and large performing admirably, sometimes falling short on quality.

    Weren't we meant to be 10 points adrift after 10 games? Didn't happen did it? Weren't we meant to be easily beaten against the likes of Watford, Preston, QPR, Stoke, Swansea etc etc? Didn't happen. Just for once, try seeing what the players are capable of instead of ALWAYS, and I really do mean ALWAYS, pulling them down with their shortcomings. Them and the club. As a fan, it is poor to always come from that angle. We all have a gripe now and again but constantly bringing them down lacks something for me.

    And no, that isn't rose tinted glasses. Just someone who wishes to believe in players who have given me ample reasons to believe.

    Morning Howdy.....I don't think it is as MT said, ''Just for once, try seeing what the players are capable of instead of ALWAYS, and I really do mean ALWAYS, pulling them down with their shortcomings'' . That doesn't apply to me.

    A nominal fee

    Not a championship fee
