Do any other managers do this or is it just Lee Johnson?
I'm looking through Lee Johnson/Mark Ashton's (our CEO) signing's now and by my reckoning he's signed Gustav Engvall, Jens Hegeler, Liam Walsh, Hakeeb Adelukan, Marley Watkins and Mo Eisa all of whom came with good reputations, and barring Watkins and Hegeler were young and very highly thought of, for a combined 6 million pounds (just transfer fees, let alone what we'd have paid them in wages) and between them they've barely even had a kick.
What's the point? It can't be Johnson signing these players, and if it is the club clearly aren't doing their due diligence properly and get them into training and realise they're not up to it?
I've no idea but it's a bizarre strategy, does this happen at any other clubs? I certainly can't think of any off the top of my head.
