I agree mostly with what EG said, but I do think Sarpong was a bigger gamble than we needed to take. Basically the idea that he was brought in to score goals but didn't have a history of scoring goals, combined with the fact that imports are always a gamble anyway meant that we were betting on him not only not being a dud generally but also on him suddenly becoming a goalscorer overnight. Two gambles in one! 

But I understand that because of the license issues etc recruitment this season was probably more difficult
