Luton Outlaws - Independent Message Board for Luton Town FC

I acknowledged that it’s educated guesswork - but we certainly haven’t made a substantial / any profit on anyone apart from Ogbene and Barkley. The reason that most are still at the club is because they are injured and/or they’ve underperformed individually and been part of a squad that’s had 2 successive relegations.

Regarding hindsight, I was delighted when we signed Nakamba but his signing has not been a success and he’s not been worth the fee and wages. A gamble that hasn’t paid off but a reasonable one to take. Andersen and Chong I never felt were good signings - Andersen didn’t have enough pace for PL and filled a position (centre of a back 3) where we were already strong, Chong massively inconsistent. Jones I thought was a decent punt to make as a struggling championship club but there were definite red flags that it might not turn out well. Again it was a gamble - there have been too many of them and not enough have paid off. As Music Critic said, 1-3 signings out of 17 being a success is nowhere near good enough. Needs to be at least 50% to have a chance of progressing as a club.
