But of course. I've been wrong on many a player. Surely everyone on message boards have, we're not scouts. Which is why I find it so weird to have a very strong opinion on someone who is a complete unknown.
Also, I'm not defending the specific bid for Rogers, nor the player's ability. I know nothing about him. I've literally watched him once.
I defend the transfer logic - we don't have room with FFP, we can't go and sign players for the first team (supposedly), so we're taking chances on talented young players instead. Lottery tickets for small change. Not all of them will be good, most probably wouldn't and Rogers might be terrible, it's possible. But if they've scouted well and if one of these is a hit it'd be huge.
