Not yet.
If he stays and plays...
If he leaves, then at least we had some fun to [ipartially[/i offset the problems and outlay. You weren't paying Crocker iirc, after his visa fell through, so that was a bit different. With hindsight you'd have to say that it had turned out to be a very disappointing signing - but it'd be just as bad, if not worse, if he had never made it over and was still waiting in Sydney mid-way through the season.
If he stays and can't play, that'd be worse than the Crocker situation. In this worst case scenario, I'd hope he gets back playing somewhere this season, even if we end up picking up a chunk of the tab. This isn't his fault, after all.
