Chimbonda would be moved to a miss now, BAE to a hit.
Of the ones with the Jury's still out I would put Bent as a miss, KPB as a miss, Taarabt as a miss, Rose is still a jury's still out but I think a bit of a hit, Alnwick miss
Kaboul is a special case because he is just now showing the potential he was supposed to have at 18 when he was signed and he had to leave the team and come back before he showed it.
Bale is obviously a hit, but Wenger had to chance to sign him and chose Theo instead (Thanks Arsene!) but he was all ready being called the next Ryan Giggs at 16 and he signed with Spurs over United because of playing time
He did make money for the club though, a lot of which was from Berba's sale
