I think, to be fair, there are far fewer whelms about Yobo than Gutierrez.

I was not significantly whelmed by the Gutierrez signing, but I can see the sense in it, and think he could do OK, for the rest of the season. But Yobo is a seriously underwhelming prospect.

But, I said the same about Sir Dion of Dublin, similarly underwhelmed, but I came to love him with all my being, so what do I know?

  - Looks like a change of strategy to me.. (NCFC) - loz, Jan 30, 11:06:32
    - Yes but you could argue we are taking one hell of a risk (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 30, 11:27:12
    - I don't think he would be a bad signing though as cover (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 30, 11:08:47
      - Of course you don't (NCFC) - King, Jan 30, 11:10:02
        
        Oh no, you had to pick him as your example (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Jan 30, 11:12:11

        Your defence of everything and anything Hughton does is pretty consistent though (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Jan 30, 11:13:46
        
        Not sure why you think this (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 30, 11:15:56
        
        Question will be - if we go down, will you still think he's done a competent job? (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Jan 30, 11:39:58
        
        No, of course not (n/m) (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 30, 11:50:01

        how much would you like to stake? (n/m) (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 30, 12:44:05
        
        Sorry, but you do seem rather blinkered in your support of CH's decision (NCFC) - King, Jan 30, 11:12:44
        
        I agree it would be nice to sign someone that would really take us forward as a club (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 30, 11:15:01
- Agree. Risky though (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Jan 30, 11:03:04
  - Very much so (NCFC) - King, Jan 30, 11:05:21
  - Sorry - meant to add - (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Jan 30, 11:05:18
- Kind of looks that way prob sack him after Saturday (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Jan 30, 11:02:08
  - I really don't think we'll sack him now (NCFC) - Duck, Jan 30, 11:05:54
    - Can't see why not especially if... (NCFC) - loz, Jan 30, 11:08:42
      - surely appointing a new manager *after* the window closes is also (NCFC) - CWC, Jan 30, 11:12:03
        
        Yes. Sacking CH straight after the window closes would not only be monumentally stupid (NCFC) - King, Jan 30, 11:15:57
        
        Exactly (NCFC) - Duck, Jan 30, 11:19:59
        
        didn't we win 3 of the next 5 after that? (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 30, 11:21:46
        
        And have won once in ten since then (NCFC) - Duck, Jan 30, 11:28:36
        
        not sure about those stats (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 30, 11:31:32
        
        *on his own merits (NCFC) - King, Jan 30, 11:19:09
        
        Depends if the money is there... (NCFC) - loz, Jan 30, 11:13:20
      - I don't really think it is such an important window (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 30, 11:10:04
