    Isaac Hayden from Arsenal. One year left on his contract. Plays DM or CB. Was out on loan last season at Hull and played DM.

    Good player, I'd defo take him here.

    We should also look at Duje Čop from Zagreb, had a couple of decent enough loan spells in Serie A with Cagliari and La Liga with Malaga, would be a good backup striker option and probably wouldn't cost too much.

    A 'meh' to all 3.

    Illori has looked like a donkey whenever I have seen him. Wisdom we have discussed before and Ward is not better than Gordon.

    In most cases it is. That's why you pay a higher price. For the ability. Obviously there's going to be exceptions where this isn't the case. But most cases people pay more for less ability? What would you say is directly linked to cost if not ability?

    I never said we were signing * on purpose. Our investments have been poor, both in ability and price. We're the ones willing to pay a decent fee on inferior players.

    Our best signings of the last decade;

    Wanyama 900k
    VVD 2.6 million
    Forster 2 million
    Ledley free
    Hooper 2.4 million

    Doesn't seem to be a pattern of pay high, get better players.

    Scott McDonald, Paul Hartley and Barry Robson as well. You're right that our best signings have been cheap. Izzy and Lustig also

    Bar Wanyama, how many players in the last decade have we spent more on? I'd say that £2.5m is top end for us. I can only think off of the top of my head of Brown and Fortune that we spent more on.

    I'm not saying they haven't but we will need to spend a bit to get the quality we want in areas.

    Lately, we've been poor at doing so.

    Ward is a good young keeper to hopefully challenge gordan?no chance of Bailley doing that,he's purely. Bavk up.

    What's the average price we spend on players though? Other than Ledley those three must be among the most expensive we've signed. I know in general footballing terms (or English football terms) they are cheap, relatively speaking they are probably towards the top end of what we can afford.

    He's been terrible any time I've seen him! Did they not pay like 6-8m for him aswell? Crazy.

    It's not a bad idea to move on Bailly and bring someone else in.
