I have personal experience of a big name player being dropped into the team for the occasional outing. It was a disaster because everybody switched off thinking the star was going to win the game singlehanded.

But you didn't live up to expectations, Dangly?

Anyone else think 'Stinky' and 'Dangly' need to get a room?

The "dropping in a star player" issue reminds me of the podcast referenced previously on this board - the one where an ex player was using data analytics to assess how easily/quickly new players slotted into existing systems, and the individual and team impact this change had (largely negative on both levels).

SBW to Quins? Why? I wouldn't want him here particularly I can't imagine he'd be cheap and I'd rather we spent the money elsewhere.
