Apparently they're hoping he'll be back in september. Beyond revell, I'm not sure who else it can be.

Easy to say now but I felt it would end like this.

Yussuf seemed a fairly unnecessary signing, just like Maxwell was on loan. We didn't need him, and of course Bignot struggled to play him because he signed so many other players, like Asante and Jones, who played up front with Vernon after Bogle left.

I appreciated his efforts while he was here but it only ever felt like a temporary signing. I believe he signed an 18-month deal though. Always thought he'd move on because I got the feeling Slade didn't have him in his plans.

Sadly it's only when he leaves that Fishy posters finally learn to spell his name right. I've seen Youssuf, Yousuf, Yussef and Yusuf over these last few months!

How many Bignot signings did we actually need?

I reckon we only needed 2 of them. Jones and Osborne. Dyson was no better than Vernon, Clements is ok but I would debate that he was any better than Summerfield or Berrett (get your red crosses out). Asante may be a very good acquisition he just needs to stay fit. Maxwell and Yussuf were 2 utterly pointless signings and Gunning I don't know where to start.

Osborne definitely, Jones did well but has actually looked very average in the 2 pre season games I've seen but will come good. Asante the snippets we saw looked decent but I'll be amazed if we get 20 games out of him this term, the rest? Self indulgent "one for the future" purchases that p1ssed away a chunk of the Omar money.

Is Tyler Walker really the answer?  Is he the best we can get.  Doesn't inspire me as being the answer, just another kid learning his trade.

Suggestion is that there are some more experienced named in the frame...

Same could be said of any manager.  Personally I thought on balance his recruitment was good, much better than the general standard of players recruited by Hurst in the last preseason.

I guess it could, well of any manager who brought in as many players as Bignot did when there was already a relatively competent squad. Re quality the difference was Bignot had money, a little at the start of the window due to good attendances and a lot more once the Omar deal was done. If you look at Henderson, Andrew, Mills, Collins they where definite good additions by Hurst but not sure why we signed Berret and Summerfield but I'm still bemused why we signed Asante (poor injury record) Maxwell, Gunning, Youseff and Clements.
