Your great man himself signed most of them Chris for God's sake.
I'm not just talking about ability here, individually we have some decent players. However years of regression in the form of injuries, coaching, form, attitude, failure, confidence and instability has turned quite a few of them into damaged goods and lost causes.
I agree with that, tbh. The likes of Duff, Owen, Butt, Carr are all ruined now. Typically, we make players worse so I don't expect many to get better. Milner will turn shit. Martins, too, probably. We're a fucking graveyard for talent.
