RA for a start he was not a big name manager it was his first job Those three didn't come free There would definitely be big loan fees ,especially Wilson ,Liverpool give you nothing for free Swansea paid £1.8 million for Brewster last season . Carson is was finished a liability also top earner Pearce can't remember many protests when he went There's not a football manager who hasn't made any bad signings . Even the great Sir Alex admits when Smichal retired he signed nine different keepers spending £32million till he got a good one

Of course he was a ‘big name’, mista. Makes no difference that it was his first job. Why else did we spend the season being called ‘Frank Lampard’s Derby County’?
I have never disputed that loans aren’t expensive, that’s not the point...the point is...they’re temporary, they aren’t ‘our’ players, although it helps when they’re here for at least two seasons like Clarke.
As for bad signings (not loans), you’re right no manager makes no bad signings but Lampard, imo, wasn’t good and FloJo, at £2.75m, was an all time bad one.
