For some games, but not reliably enough (yet)

Bringing in foreign players from different leagues is a long-term process. We need to look at what they can do in their second season (if they last that long). Some exceptions apply and do it quicker - Emi, Pukki for example, but they’re not the norm. All the Germans, as the song goes, were much better in the second season. As was Farke, to be fair.

        Rashica is the only signing that’s really been up to it (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, May 6, 11:46:05
        
        Your average punter was not qualified to pass judgement on signings I'd suggest most of us (NCFC) - Steven_P_Morrissey, May 6, 18:07:02

        Everyone remembers about Dre but we all seem to have forgotten about (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, May 6, 11:42:35
        
        I presume at the time the club believed that Rashica would be an upgrade on Onel and I (NCFC) - The Gaffer, May 6, 11:23:25
        
        the 'we bought him for the future' line appeared a while after we signed him (NCFC) - CWC, May 6, 11:44:05
        
        This is from Bailey’s first Tzolis piece (NCFC) - Henclrikus, May 6, 14:30:19

        Would be intersting to compare (NCFC) - Henclrikus, May 6, 14:58:53
        
        I think Rashica, after the first few games, has shown himself to be a step up from Onel (NCFC) - Legacy Fan, May 6, 11:19:04
        
        If so, not by much (NCFC) - APB, May 6, 11:58:27
        
        So you genuinely don't think Rashica is an upgrade on Onel? (n/m) (NCFC) - Henclrikus, May 6, 11:18:12
