And you prove my original point - exciting players - that we can afford - by and large

will be a gamble. We might hit lucky (Michu? And is he any good now?), we might not. But if you need something, a signing which will be as sure a bet as you can get, do you get proven and boring in January, or exciting but unknown?

Glen Whelan and Danns....good players. Whelan is very underrated and not your (NCFC) - BINMEN8R, Jan 25, 10:49:34
- Whelan is a bang average defensive midfielder. If we need one, he'll do. (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 25, 12:16:48
- Hmmm. He does seem to have switched his Purchase Plan from Exciting to Solid. (NCFC) - Sugbad The Bad, Jan 25, 11:46:09
  - It's like 2004 (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 25, 11:58:10

      - loz was right below - this is not the time of year to be buying glittering youth and futur (NCFC) - Yellalee, Jan 25, 12:02:33
        
        yes, he has a point, tho I'm not sure i completely agree about the time of year (NCFC) - Sugbad The Bad, Jan 25, 12:04:08
        
        My point being - glitter and youth, at our level, will be an unknown to the league (NCFC) - Yellalee, Jan 25, 12:07:57
        
        RvW hasn't been scapegoated... he has been rubbish. (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 25, 12:18:10

        every signing is a gamble... forking out for a bunch average defensive players (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 25, 12:24:57
        
        dion't we also have the 3rd worst defensive record? Not sure. thereabouts anyway (n/m) (NCFC) - Sugbad The Bad, Jan 25, 12:30:09
        
        just looked it up: 5th worst (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 25, 12:36:19

        he was crap before he was injured, really crap. (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 25, 12:21:35
        
        He played about 5 games with the whole attacking third of the pitch to himself!!! (NCFC) - Yellalee, Jan 25, 12:23:03
        
        well, yes, he wasn't used very well (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Jan 25, 12:26:07

        Agreed. Neither am I... (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Jan 25, 12:12:01
        
        and also, I accept that Bang Average isn't really fair in 1 or 2 cases of the three mentio (n/m) (NCFC) - Sugbad The Bad, Jan 25, 12:11:54
