I’ve seen a few posts along the lines of Warnock is signing players from lesser clubs, who are therefore lesser players and therefore we won’t improve. Same sentiment as sign players from league 1 / bottom championship teams and that’s where you will end up!
And personally I think it’s a load of rubbish!
I think identifying players from teams lower in the pyramid than us is absolutely fine! Obviously Warnock has identified that those players have attributes that he believes we can use successfully and that they will compliment each other to form a successful team. The whole being greater than the sum of the parts and all that.
For example, look at Liverpool -
Robertson signed from relegation team Hull.
Winjaldum and Mane from bottom half team Newcastle and Southampton.
Even Firminho and Salah were signing for £30-40m (which isn’t really big money for a ‘top 6 club’). And look at the success they have had with those players.
Also Brentford, how many of their players were signed from lesser teams! And those same players have took them into the premier league!
In Warnock we trust
