Not much to disagree with, couple of slight changes for me as follows

Worth bothering to rank - 

1. K Miller

2. Hendry
3. Caulker
4. Allan

5. Kamara
6. Ralph
7. C Miller

8. Hamilton
9. Parish

10 Kusunga

11. AJ
12. Deacon
13. Aurtenetxe (just squeezes in)
14. Kallman (might be above Aurtenetxe but not seen enough of him yet)

 

Not worth ranking so put them in any order you like -

Meekings
Murray
Moussa (name should be scrubbed from the DFC history books)
Boyle
Inniss
Nabi
Madianga (was tempted to make him number 15 but probably falls just short of standard)
Spence
Elton
Mendy
Wolters

1 Kenny Miller 

2 Jack Hendry

3 Scott Allan 

4 Glen Kamara (NOT based on this season)

5 Basque Jon

6 Nathan Ralph

7 A-Jay

8 Calvin Miller

9 Parish

10 Hamilton

11 Caulker

12 Kusunga (much higher without the mistakes)

13 Innis (still think there's a good defender there)

14 Boyle

15 Deacon (for the very rare occasions he produced)

16 Murray

17 Spence 

18 Kallman

19 Moussa (Not good enough but a couple of good performances v Hearts and someone else I've forgot. Might have been Partick)

20 Meekings (harsh possibly but has done very little for us. I know he's a good guy that's struggled with injury)

21 Madianga (looked class in the summer then got found out sadly)

22 Nabi (bit of potential there. Seriously lacking off the ball)

23 Elton (purely for his goal v St Mirren)

24 Wolters

25 Mendy

It's funny seeing Kenny Miller as everyone's (so far) No1 signing given the uproar on here when we signed him, very few Dees wanted the 38 year old has been anywhere near Dens :D

Surprised to see Kusunga rated so highly

As honking as Moussa has been he's not in most people's bottom five

For me Mendy has been the worst signing, he was McCann's Yordi /Carlo Monti

We reportedly got good money for Hendry who is wasting his talent in the Celtic reserves (as is Bain) could have had good money for Kamara and Caulker, K Miller has shown what he can do with the right service , Scott Allan should have been a good signing but never showed anything other than disinterest during his time here

5 or 6 decent signings out of 25, how does that compare to recent past managers?

What would you say is an acceptable success rate as a manager?

Considering that approx 80 players will have passed through in less than four years, what is acceptable?

I think the biggest issue with our club is the high turnover of players in and out the door every season. There is no stability here at Dens. We seem to be saying year after year 'when these players gel', but in all honesty, this never happens because the managers are looking for the next big thing rather than bring in players to complement what we already have.

It now seems like we are about to have a wholesale clear out again due to bad management and recruitment and this is just for the January window, I dread to think what will happen in the summer. However, regardless of which league we are in, we could possibly be looking at a whole new team again for the new season.

Just now, Stampguy said:

Abso-feckin-lutely agree. Caulker trotted around the park like a show pony, but was wildly overrated by our support, imo.

and look how it all ended.

And if the stories were true, another f/up by NM & Nelms in not selling him and taking the money.
