Yes because our foreign players generally turn out to be a success.
Dabo wasnt an overseas signing, we signed him from Chelsea.BRB off to tell Hamer and Dabo to GTFO.
Matt Godden is a lower league journeyman by these metrics but was successful in league 1
At a lower levelThat’s a fair point. But also he was in his mid twenties when we signed him, not 31. And came with a better goal scoring record.

Did we sign him from Chelsea yes or no?It must be that time of year again.
Can’t you just read one the hundred other threads this argument has been played out on?

Godden is 29 so only 2 years younger than Waghorn. Also Derby offered him a new contract so wasn’t released. He didn’t have a great season but no one at Derby did, doesn’t mean he’s a bad playerWe signed him at a lower level. Point is he was on his way up. Waghorn was just released by a team that finished well below us. He’s coming off a poor season and we’re gambling on him coming good again.
Did we sign him from Chelsea?

How do you know we went through the foreign player recruitment process? People have posted numerous articles showing it was his link to Viveash that meant we signed him. Rose is not an overseas signing either and Jobello was a dud.Did he go through the foreign player recruitment process?
Rose? Hamer? Say what you like about Jobello and Dacosta but both did a job for the team.
You’ve got Kasta and Hilßner though. Just like the domestic process has Bosma, Allassani, Brown, Ogogo…
That explains why he did so well here and seemed to flop everywhere else. It's the old 'horses for courses'.Fuck him and the horse he rode in on

He wasn’t an ‘up and coming’ player at 27 was he. He’d been a lower league journeymanWe signed him two years ago.
Waghorn is a journeyman. He holds the record for scoring for different clubs in the division.
Moore is a L1 keeper. His record at this level is worse than Wilson’s. I’m hoping the rumour were after another GK is true.
Who was I expecting? Same as previous seasons really, some young Prem castoffs (Sheaf/Györkeres) some up and coming lower league/foreign players, a couple of experienced frees. Just would rather have the experience at the back or in midfield or at least a big striker. If Moore had experience he’d be fine, but he’s barely played since his mid twenties. Concerned Waghorn did nothing in a poor Derby side last year and their general consensus is his best days are behind him and he’s not cheap.
We've had won semi success from our overseas signings and that is Hamer. Any other is you just kidding yourself. Of course there are going to be more domestic duds, we sign a lot more of them, and we signed Ogogo 3 years ago. Stop kidding yourself.Ogogo was a dud. Don’t sign players from the same division. Alassani was a dud, don’t sign players from lower leagues. Giles was a dud, don’t take Prem loans. We can all cherry pick to suit our arguments.
Maybe that’s why he did nothing as he was in such a poor side ? He still scored more than our top scorer tho didn’t heWaghorn is a journeyman. He holds the record for scoring for different clubs in the division.

So Biamou was considered a player on the way up?I didn’t say he was “up and coming” so not sure who you are quoting. I said he was on the way up as in he was moving up through the divisions. He hasn’t rattled around the same level for years which was the original point.

He made his debut in the championship
So you are counting Da Costa as a success hahahahaha unbelievable.We signed Kasta two years ago and you’re still going on about him. So to be clear it’s only a “semi success[ful]” foreign signing if they are one of our best players and they had to travel over an ocean to get here. Any other provisos?
We have signed a player that overall has a decent record at this level. He’s an upgrade on most of our forwards. He didn’t have a great season last year but he didn’t score many less than our current forwards in a side that finished 11 points behind us. He gives us experience in this league which is what everyone was saying we were crying out for last seasonI didn’t say he was “up and coming” so not sure who you are quoting.
