when Worthy spent 500k on Hooze, he did it to play him

which he then proceeded to do all season, despite all the evidence that it was a mistake.

I'm afraid these are pretty incontrovertible FACTS.

I think he'll end up doing it again this year, too. But that's a PREDICTION rather than a FACT.

Perhaps the lack of signings is evidence that Worthington is learning from past mistakes? (NCFC) - Orlando, Aug 31, 11:16:19
- Hughes wasn't signed as a squad player. He was signed as captain. (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Aug 31, 11:19:10
  - Well, that's not quite true....he was made captain after injuries, no? (n/m) (NCFC) - Orlando, Aug 31, 11:20:37
    - yes. But he was most definitely signed to be a first team player (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Aug 31, 11:22:58
      - Hmm, I think Worthington originally had Jarrett & Safri down as first choice... (n/m) (NCFC) - Orlando, Aug 31, 11:26:01
        
        Why did Hughes start the first game of the season ahead of Jarret then? (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Aug 31, 11:29:46
        
        Because Jarrett hadn't settled in, wasn't fit & even at that stage... (NCFC) - Orlando, Aug 31, 11:31:52

        hughes normally plays alright as part of a 3 man midfield anyway (NCFC) - lurd, Aug 31, 11:37:52

        Nah, Jarret was *clearly* signed as a direct replacement for Francis... (n/m) (NCFC) - Orlando, Aug 31, 11:33:11
    - I think the idea was that he would eventually take the armband off Flem (NCFC) - DiscoDaleGordon, Aug 31, 11:21:56
