Rahic should be asking some serious questions about Abbott's scouting ability.

He booted out Madden and Wells .... on frees .... from Carl'fucking'isle! What on earth did we expect?

I remember reading a comment from a Carlisle fan and they were saying that as far as talent spotting and signing players was concerned you’d do well to listen to Greg Abbott. And then do the exact fucking opposite.

Shay's getting a bum deal, he was signed on the premise of playing as a number ten with Wyke. He's not a striker, or a winger, attacking midfielder at a pinch. Like many of our squad he's a square peg that they can't find a hole for, not even a round one. He's a good player that doesn't fit the system or style that we play, he's our Juan Sebastian Veron.

He’s supposed to be almost equally adept at striker or in-the-hole. It’s to be hoped he is because otherwise you’re right and we’ve just spunked £200k on a player we can’t use. I’ve said it before but fuck this in-the-hole garbage in League One. It’s overcomplicating the game for the level.

Every time the fat cunt runs it tends to get deeper too.

We went cheap to get average players. I said at the time we should have gone all out to buy Dack or Oztumer, both of which are doing the business again this season, and we've been left with a flop and a fooking donkey.

We're not going to be making any big name signings under this German model but I still don't think it's unreasonable to expect a bit more value for £300k than what we seem to have got. Wyke was only £250k and, while he's not the striking sensation many of our fans want to believe he is, he's much better value for money than either of those two. In fact, Wyke aside, what has Abbott actually come up with? I'd argue Reeves is good in fits and starts but other than that he's 'unearthed' us decidedly average League One players at best. Even in the case of Reeves he was scouted as someone who can be the attacking midfielder we seriously lacked and still lack. There's a reason Reeves has been deployed as a defensive midfielder all his career and it's not because everyone else has thus far been wrong about his strengths. Rahic's 'finds' are arguably even worse. Barr, Grodowski, Rabiega etc - fuck me what a shower of never-will-bes. It's going to be a long time before Project Rahic starts to come good, assuming it ever does.

You spend £300k in L1 on a player and you expect them to make some sort of impact. L1 clubs don't spend those amounts to develop talent for the future. Mccartan may have a Luke Oliver / Mark Marshall second season but at least those were free, I've seen enough flops over the years to know when you love paid for a dud.
Back at Accrington on loan in January, permanent transfer to them in the summer I'm thinking.
I get the feeling we'll probably still be reading the same comments in 5 years time from Gompers about being patient, success doesn't come overnight and how it's all part of the long term plan.
