That's a crap argument.

How many young players have looked great in the Fizzy for a season but turned out to be crap? Look at Jerome - no-one wanted to take the risk, in the end. It's ALWAYS a risk buying an unproven player. Worthy was the only manager with the balls to splash a LOT of cash on Deano - and it paid off.

Hux - was wdiely perceived as a nearly-man whose defensive weaknesses would unbalance any team. Keegan didn't want to play him and Worthy rescued him.

Two excellent signings but both were gambles

        Drury was only 300k I think... (NCFC) - Brom, Mar 23, 17:06:58
        
        Drury ?300k plus ?200k on promotion to The Prem = ?500k (n/m) (NCFC) - oh arr, Mar 24, 04:44:12

      - Neither did the Hughse / Etuhu to which the reference was made. (NCFC) - Arganth, Mar 23, 16:02:18
        
        And who could possibly have imagined that Hucks and Deano would be good players (NCFC) - The Judge, Mar 23, 16:07:15
        
        That's a crap argument. (NCFC) - Old Git, Mar 23, 16:16:28
        
        Not the point. (NCFC) - Arganth, Mar 23, 16:14:37

        Hughes will come good, as will Robinson. (NCFC) - Arganth, Mar 23, 16:44:14
        
        What's your reasoning behind "Hughes will come good"? (NCFC) - Orlando, Mar 23, 17:14:43
        
        He already is. (NCFC) - Arganth, Mar 23, 17:17:47
        
        More knee-jerk reactions from La Arganth... (NCFC) - Orlando, Mar 23, 17:21:36
        
        Agree over Robinson... (NCFC) - Brom, Mar 23, 17:09:08
