Worthy has a pretty decent transfer record

I was only commenting that he was better at buying experienced players than at finding young talent (not surprising because it obvously IS easier, and he's been given loads of money by FizzyPop standards so he hasn't had to take any risks), certainly not that those experienced players were bad buys.
