By the sounds of it Evans to Wigan will cover most of the Norwood transfer fee. We've had Wigan's trousers down there. Add Leonard to Millwall and we've got some spare change.

Egan and Madine's wages we can assume were paid for with some of the Brooks money. But all we can do is assume because we're kings of the undisclosed fee.

As much as we all admire Wilder, I hope that people agree with me that he's made some bad signings in the few transfer windows that he's been with the club - particularly in January. Hanson, Holmes, Leonard, Ched Evans (he hasn't played), Hussey, Wilson to name some.

I think club/managers are historically remembered for the good signings they make and can often forget the bad ones! That doesn't mean in anyway that I'm suggesting CW is a bad manager - with 3 promotions in 4 seasons, how can he be? But more often we only remember the good things managers did - unless they were really bad (i.e. Adkins, Adams & Weir).
 
Hanson clearly helped us out of the pub league and we made a profit on Leonard so scrub them from the list,nobody gets it right all the time not even the greats every transfer has some element of risk attached to it usually the more you spend the less the risk
 
I'm not knocking CW...

but his long term chasing down of Ricky Holmes seems to mirrored in his chase of Lys Moussett - he's been after him for a while

Just hope Moussett works out ?

I think looking at the deals made so far, you would argue that they are potentially low risk, with the exception of McBurnie and possibily Mousset. If United stay up they'll be masterminded signings, whereas if we do go straight back down, the money spent isn't excessive - when you consider Assombalonga cost Boro £15million, and Rhodes was £10.5million, the money being splashed around in the Championship these days are only what united have more-or-less paid for players.

FYI - in my initial comment, I was by no means suggesting that Sir Chris is a bad manager. He's been our savour, and whatever happens this season will be a club legend.
 
I think you have misinterpreted what I meant by low risk it wasn’t in relation to money possibly lost but what the player can bring to your team the more you spend the more likely the player will add the qualities you are looking for in him to add to your team
The jury is out on mousset atm until he gets fit and a regular start,however it’s unlike Chris to splash so much on one player so I have trust in his judgement
