Cost vs capability though, Wildschut must be up there. Ricky was just

a bit crap too but he’s done alright in lesser leagues.

Naismith could play if he could be bothered. He showed that st Everton. But he was never bothered.

Wildschut was a league two player though. Never quite understood that purchase. Similarly I think Hugill was also on a Wildschut ability level but while we overpaid for him, not quite as bad as Wildschut.
