It didn't prove that at all tbf. The only thing we know is that he wanted Giles, and he also wanted Iheanacho. What we know about the former is that we'd signed him previously before Carrick was even here, and attempted to sign him at least once after that. What we don't know about the latter is whether Carrick came up with his name all by himself or if the club had him on their list of names because obviously that's two very different things. Unless Carrick is responsible for the other crap we've signed as well then I think we can say with a reasonable amount of certainty that we've brought in plenty of duffers via our crack recruitment squad.
