To be fair Distin is a superb athlete with a very good injury record and had years of experience in the Premiership and so was never really a gamble, where as Kone has had plenty of injury problems and when you factor in that we lose him to the ACON then its nowhere near as good a deal
Van Persie is world class - enough said
Alcaraz has been a waste of a wage because he is never fit
Robles I must admit I thought was going to be a great signing but so far he has been a massive disappointment, but I suppose he is still young and could come good. I think he needs to go out on loan but then we wouldn't have cover
