Mendez Laing and Etheridge spring to mind!!!thomasblue wrote:Players like Toney are few and far between and also cost £6mill plus to buy.
We have tried these lower league strikers before and 9 times out of ten they fail
Alex Revell and Eoin Doyle Jump to mind straight away.
Gavin Whyte was brilliant in the lower leagues apparently but has been very poor here.
Nelsons lack of quality at this level is starting to show through after a promising start
Vassell is injury prone because he can't handle the physicality of this level
In fact I find it hard to think of a player who we have signed from a division below us currently for a long time that has been a success here .
If this kid is 20 already and that good he would have been snapped up by now by a bigger club

Etheridge spent most of his career at a championship club and only had the odd year below.
Mendez-laing did ok for us, nothing special and like i said the stars are few and far between.

I agree with you on most of our signings but you do Etheridge and NML a diservice. Etheridge was hardly well known and was at Walsall for three years before we pinched him on a free. He and Mendez Laing were crucial members of a side that got promoted to the Premier League and both did OK in the Premier League. On the day we belatedly played with freedom at Old Trafford they were the two best players on the pitch.
