Should we give Bryan Gunn some credit in his transfer dealings....

I did suggest that after Bryan Gunn was sacked that history may judge his short managerial reign differently as time has passed and the Colchester game is long forgotten.

Here is list of Bryan Gunn's signings while in charge and their (estimated from paper talk) cost

Theoklitos (free)

Askou (free)

Nelson (free)

Wiggins (100K)

OTJ (at most 250K)

Hughes (free)

Gill (free)

Whaley (150K)

McVeigh (free)

Holt (450K)

Maric (free)

McDonald (25K)

My opinion (so far) is the following are good value (in relative terms)

Askou (free)

Nelson (free)

Hughes (free)

McVeigh (free)

Holt (450K)

McDonald (25K)

The following are questionable/unproven because of lack of games/injuries ect ect (but could trun out to be good or bad)

Wiggins (100K)

OTJ (at most 250K)

Gill (free)

Whaley (150K)

Maric (free)

Probably only 1 who was an outright mistake.

Theoklitos (free)

And even then we may be a bit harsh to judge on one game, although the new manager watches him in training and is not inspired to give him another shot, which is very telling IMHO.

The selling of Marshall and Sammy more than covered all the signings along with the rebate for Holt.
