I'm not sure I accept the premise that if Emi Buendia was great, it indicates that all

recruitment is fine.

We didn't want a player like Billy Gilmour, we wanted strong and athletic. Lees Melou wasn't that player either.

Strong suggestions from grown-up journalist that both players were presented to us and that we didn't hunt them down.

Two managers and two sets of coaches couldn't get a single tune out of any of our new signings last season.

So yeah, recruitment to be honest.

        Ok, but the broader point you are making is that we brought in players last summer (NCFC) - norwaay, Sep 6, 13:48:45
        
        My broader point is that recruitment is almost always a mixed bag (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Sep 6, 14:41:54
