Strachan's transfer dealings

ok so since WGS took over 3 and a half years ago WGS has bought 38 players including this window below are the names plus fees. Please discuss wat you have thought of his transfer dealings to date. in my opinion not good enough when all we hear now is money is tight, and we cant afford players for the first team etc etc etc.

Arthur Boruc 800,000
Maciej Zurawski 2.2m
Naka 2.7m
Mo Camara free
Paul Telfer 200,000
Adm Virgo 1.2m
Jeremie Aliadiere loan
Du Wei trial
Mark Wilson 400,000
Roy Keane free
Doin Dublin free
Kenny Miller free
Gary Caldwell free
Derek Riordan 150,000
Jiri Jarosik 1.5m
Evander Sno 80,000
Jan V of Hessellink 3.4m
Thomas Graveson 2m
Lee Naylor 800,000
Steven Pressley free
Mark Brown 100,000
Paul Hartley 1m
Scott McDonald 700,000
Scott Brown 4.4m
Massimo Donati 1.2m
JJ Perrier Doumbe 400,000
Chris Killen free
Koki Mizuno 400,000
Ben Hutchinson 300,000
Andrius Hinkel 1.9m
Barry Robson 1.1m
Paddy McCourt 100,000
Georgios Samaras 1.2m
Marc Crosas 400,000
Glenn Loovens 2.5m
Shaun Maloney 1m
Neil Mcginn not sure

If iv left any1 out please say so. An take into consideration transfer fees, plus wages an bonuses etc plust money lost if player sold on for less than bought. In my opinion strachans dealings have been expensive failures, bar a few but they cant justify all the money lost on crap players. p.s. this is not fuel for anti strachan brigade just observation.

 

The thing is gs has very little influence in transfer dealings its lawell. people like Du Wei and Donati were obviously reccomended by scouts to lawell

 

All the more sadder if he has no say in the deals

 

You might wanna check this bit of research I done not 2 long ago:

the figure you have for naka is wrong (i think) cos strachan said in an interview that naka didnt cost half as much as wot was quoted.

Looking at the list its not fair to say expensive flops yeah Virgo, Gravenses and Donatti fall into this catogary but Boruc, McDonald and Caldwell are amazing purchases!

 

where did you get you figures from?

 

That's only your opinion of that player's rating though.

 

your spelling is atrocious

 

Forget my opinion of ratings The focus is on the spendage and the figures were taken from wikipedia and where I doubted the figures I looked it up on traditional media outlets like BBC and Sky. All in all take of it what you want but I reckon the spendage is pretty accurate.

 

I'm going to put next to each name

+ (for success)

or
- (for fail)

or 0 (so so/not seen enough of the player/ injured most of the time)

I have 9 pluses.

 

Are you including wages? Because with the amount of players Strachan has bought, he's probably spent almost as much as MON, overall.

 

Wages aren't included but impacted the ratings of certain signings like Keane and Gravesen.

Also if you check my link I've also provided MoN's signings and at the side you can see they spent a similar amount on transfer fees.

 

Im pretty shocked by that, all the GS fanatics would make you believe he had a fraction of what MON had

 

I think you're right to an extent although I'd speculate MoN enjoyed higher wages to offer.

 

Probably because he could be trusted. WGS simply can't.

 

Won't dignify that with a response lol

 

You think WGS could be trusted with high wages? Gravesen springs to mind straight away.

Whereas Lennon and Sutton spring to mind when I think of MON.

 

I might be wrong but i think wage levels are back up at the 2004 levels.
Also big difference on what the huns were spending on transfer fees and wages back then compared to now
