They say that as if our method failed our two 'obscure bargains' have scored 27 league goals.
Also, I'm getting fed up of this attitude people have. It wasn't luck. It was a dedicated scouting regime.
Even then, anyone who didn't notice a guy who scored 30+ goals in the Bundesliga last season is quite simply a heaving mong.
As for Ba, scored 7 in 12 in our own f***ing league before we signed him. We may have had some luck with his injury, he may be better than expected but it certainly wasn't a random stab in the dark.
