Campana was a worse signing. Young player, obvious talent, resale value, has assisted a couple of goals for us this season... Yeah, I see your point there mate. With regards to Sow, someone above used the word proven... 12 goals in the Swedish regional 3rd league a couple of years ago, 3 goals in the Moldovan league the season after. Now that's what I call pedigree! Agree with the majority here, absolutely pointless signing, especially aged 23.

Was signed as another body in attack after doing ok in trial/preseason games. Got injured as soon as he signed, hasnt been fit since I believe This. Its easy to judge in hindsight. At the time he looked promising, but if he's injured he's injured, and it can take a long time to recover from an injury. Theres always a risk involved in signing any player that they'll be injured. Probably a good signing for us at the time

Means nothing on its own, our top goal scorer last season was doing alright in the lower leagues, and Gayle, whos gotten a few and looked promising, was playing in non-league football. Talent can be anywhere, and sometimes it pays to take a risk on a player you can get really cheap. Taken Calvin Andrew, much lamented, but in that Administration season his contributions were vital in keeping us up when Alan Lee was injured. Cheap as chips player who more than made up for his cost.

Never saw Jack Hunt in a Palace shirt either did we.
When i'd seen hunt play for Huddersfield, granted only a few times, i thought he was quality

Why there's still so much fuss about this guy, I have no idea...

I thought that the original idea of him signing was because we didn't have anybody who played like Chamakh on the books. And because IH wanted to build a team around Chamakh he thought it was important to have a similar player in the 21s. Whether that's still the case though in another matter...
