Quote: Homer "Would pretty much agree with all of that except to say that I see even less in terms of his good signings if you take on BJB being offered to us on loan, and Dorn resigning after not being offered a contract by.......err BM.'"
BMs recruitment was arguably as miserable as his personality. Lets take a trip down memory lane (and apologies for any lapses).
For the 2007 season, Tony Rea would likely still have been involved for bringing in the likes of Scott Hill, Danny Orr and Julien Rinaldi. Then there was the Yorkshire massive of Jon Grayshon, David Toothill, Joe Walsh, Andy Smith and Luke Burgess (on loan).
For 2008, a few contract extensions (Curtis Melling, Karl Temata, Chad Randall and Henry Paul) but not much in terms of new faces with just Danny Ward and Gareth Haggerty. Henry Fa'afili could have been good.
The boat was really pushed out for 2009 though, with BM building his team around Luke Williamson and Chad Robinson. Luke Dorn was resigned plus Mick Nanyn, Matt Gardner, Ben Kaye, Luke Gale and Jason Golden. BM was
rlchuffedrl and thought this was the most balanced squad the club had seen for quite some time.
2010 saw Ryan Esders brought in after a loan spell in 2009 plus Oliver Wilkes, Matt James, Andy Ellis, Ben Jones and Ben Jones-Bishop (on loan).
We've certainly lost some great players in that time (and BM has sent some not so good ones to the naughty step) but of the 20+ BM signings who do you think are the great ones ?
I'll venture Jason Golden was a good one and Andy Ellis may in time prove to be a great one.
