Players we really should not have kept so long

..such signings are low cost, low risk and potentially high reward. We should have no issue with them when Stones, Holgate, DCL and such like came through a similar route.
I wonder what the ratio is to players signed, to those who make the first team.
 


Several players were given extended contracts because of past services. Some had been excellent, some poor from the start.

Howard; Hibbert; Neville; Distin; Gravesen (second spell); Jeffers (second spell) Pistone (second spell [though he was no good from day 1]); Gascoine; Jagielka; Mirallas; Baines; Kevin Campbell; Duncan Ferguson.
