This would be my view

Good/outstandingsignings

Moussa, James Bailey, Blair Adams, Leon Clarke, Kelly, Doyle, Grimmer, McNulty, Davis, Biamou, Luke Thomas, Sterling, Dabo, Walsh, O'Hare, Godden, McFadz, Hyam, Rose, Marosi,Westbrooke, Nazon
Mason, McCallum, Drsydale, Chaplin, Hiwula, Enobakhare, Stockdale, Allen, Godden

Okay/ not yet proven signings

Vincenti, McDonald, JCH, Jobello, Baka,Morgan Williams, Wilson, Pask, Giles, young, Watson

Poor signings

Philiskirk, Liam O'Brien, Barrett, McGuire-Drew, Brown, Wakefield, Myler, Andreu, Bosma, Ogogo, Allassani, Walters, Kasteneer

I know it is all about opinions but I think even the most cynical of fans would look at the list of incoming players and say that Robins has done well. An awful lot of the players on the poor signings list were very minor gambles with probably only Brown, Ogogo, Andreu and Kastaneer as relatively expensive failures

This is well said by ISB.

Another thing I really like about Robins is that he selects on performance vs. automatically playing the players he has signed. Ogogo was a major signing at the time by Robins and his team - it didn't work out - Ogogo quickly moved to another club. It seems to me that other managers we've had would have continued playing Ogogo until he came good - to prove that the call to sign him was the right one. Robins is just professional in every aspect of his management including making the hard decisions even on players he has recently signed.
