We all did. We were all desperate for him to sign and now when you really think about it we’ve got to wonder why?Kent has been very poor for the outlay. The fact that Gerrard chased him so hard really brings his judgement into question.

Best players this season:
McGregor - already here
Davis - already here
Alfie - already here
Jack - already here
Barisic - bought by manager
Tav - already here
Fairly grim actually when you look at it.

Not sure why Kent gets judged by his transfer fee. We didnt write a cheque for £7m, the deal will be structured in a way that suits our budget. He's been out of sorts recently i think due to to trying to do everything himself, getting surrounded by the opposition and getting instructed to play too centrally. All in my humble opinion of course.
As did everyone on here based on last season. He has not produced consistently like last year.
Didnt Gerrard give the go ahead on McGregor and Davis?

£7m for Kent would have been fine had it not been the majority of our budget.
Turns out it was. He was a luxury signing we couldn’t afford.
Just 6 weeks ago Kent was amazing and had scored 5 goals in 7 matches. Mental how peoples opinions change on a player that quickly despite him not fitting the role he's being asked to play perfectlyKent 7 Edward 9 ffs on the latest showings Kent no better than 500k
Great summary.Under Gerrard we have signed

Don't think I have missed anybody there. Pretty much everybody brought in to be a first team player has been a good signing. So far it's the squad additions that have been lacking.
Notably we still havent spent any serious money on midfield. That, and a replacement for Morelos, has to be the focus going forward.
We have spent millions on previous teams and got some shocking results (worse than anything this season). It's no time to panic.
Shows the difference in standard of the league.We are also on track to score more and concede less than our last 3 title wins.
Be pretty harsh to criticise if we end up with better goals scored, less conceded and more points and still dont win the league.

That isnt the answer either, i watched redford, paterson, stevens , john mcdonald etc etcI’d rather see a team of players like docherty Murphy Mac Gregor and Halliday get beat and hurt because of it, than a team of players who play for the wage and don’t give a fxck
Be careful here.That isnt the answer either, i watched redford, paterson, stevens , john mcdonald etc etc
All prods and we were rank.
That was the only thing we could sing about then.
For the money we’ve and still no to win a trophy and to be this far behind is a down right disgrace
The Scottish cup would be no consolation.
We havent spent the guts of £25m to win a Scottish cup.
I didnt get the urgency to sign him . He was good but notHe's having a better season than last year. Nearly everybody was happy when we signed him permanently, he's out of form.
You know what i mean though.Be careful here.
Two Drumchapel lads named.
Seriously, two very high purchases there, maybe even record buys and a exceptionally highly rated kid as well.
Redford, in particular, had a decent career on leaving us.

Great summary.
I’d been racking my brain trying to find all the disastrous signings.
I still believe this is an issue of form rather than class.

If we had won the cup a don’t think we’d have went on to bottle the league , we’ve spent over 20 million to finish second ffsWould it be different if we'd won the league cup?
I mean, we lost that game to an offside goal so I can't really be over critical about that performance.
Hard to argue with that assessment.The ‘joke’ was that we paid it.
Personally I wouldn’t have gone above £4m for him. I said so at the time.
For a club in our position to shell out £7m on a player, we needed him to be a genuine matchwinner for us. We essentially needed him to be our star player, one who would make the difference in games like last night or against Aberdeen.
I never felt Kent was that player even last season.
For £7m we could have found a better player with better stats to slot straight in.
Which isn’t to say I don’t rate Kent, I do, and feel he just needs to have more confidence in himself, but the pricetag always threatened to weigh too heavily on his shoulders.
I really hope he can live up to it.
£7m for kent is a joke
Actually i did , i thought £7m was crazy to pay for kentBet you weren’t saying that on Deadline Day were you?
£7m is chicken feed it today’s market. The equivalent of £1.5m/£2m ‘back in the day’.
If we had won the cup a don’t think we’d have went on to bottle the league , we’ve spent over 20 million to finish second ffs
Should we maybe not have recruited better to avoid being as poor when they get injured?Would it have stopped Alfie being suspended, Jack and Barisic getting injured, Tav getting an operation.
Unlikely
Who do you have down as top 3? I'd have Morelos, Borna and then 3rd is a toss up between Shagger, Jack, Davis and Tav.The thing that worries me is that our 3 best players are Warburton and Pedro era signings. Even if you throw in McGregor and Davis, they were here previously and hugely successful so it’s not really indicative of top notch scouting is it....:
