The Cloke trade isn't done yet. Early reports sound like we are going to give him up cheaply, but I'll believe it when I see it.
So far we have more than maximised every trade we have made.
It's a different question altogether whether we should've worked harder to keep the guys that left. That's an argument that will probably never be resolved.
However, in terms of the trades we made, I think we've won every one comfortably. Even to allowing Daisy Thomas to walk as a FA an manipulating a pick 6 out of it.
Spot on.
Lot of people jump on our trade deals and pour cold water on them but history is a pretty interest 'lens'. I cant think of many deals where our guys didn't draw level or win when you judge them with hindsight. I think that is a massive credit to Dekka. Only bloke I can think that has burnt us at another club has been shaw and more than happy with how that panned out.
The only one I can remember us really stuffing up was Stevie J
