So it’s down to his analysts then? Not that wherever he’s been he’s had the licence to hoover up talent without having to consider affordability?

No it’s not down to the analysts but they play a key role. Football has moved on, seems like you haven’t

Maybe, it’s all about opinions.

Wouldn't say sack them all but when you see players coming on late in the game and coaches turning over reams of paper pointing out to the player difference things.When all that is really wanted is stop the bast--d getting forward on the left wing and we'll win.

Wilson
Van Ewijk, Lati, Kitching, DaSilva
Sheaf, Eccles
O'Hare (or Allen)
Sakamoto, Simms, Wright

That is the formation that gets the best from our new signings imo. I'm available to start immediately.

Tbf Pep spent about quarter of a billion on his defense at City before he won anything. Maybe that was something to do with it.

Looking rather different now isn’t it. Four gems in Van Ewijk, Wright, Sakamoto and Kitching. Improvement being seen with Thomas and Collins. Lati looks solid. Simms and Dasilva still time. Overall a success

Think Dasilva has shown far more than Simms TBH.

Yeah, probably fair. Personally I’d like to see more defensive know how but he’s a tidy player. Certainly not a bad bit of business.

And his current track record is excellent. Doesn't stop the my statement being entirely correct at that point!

(And was also a point that it's rather selective who people complain about - see... Allen last season eh?)

DaSilva - Free - alright
Latibeaudiere- free- decent
Binks - Loan - decent


Ayari - Loan - Shit
Simms - 3.5m - Double shit
Wright - 7.7m - Triple shit
Van Ewjik- 4m - player there, think he'll be good
Tats - 1.2m - good player but MR dont rate him
Collins - 500k - who knows?
Thomas - 2m - wank
Kitching -4m - pointless


So in summary we've spunked loads of money on shit players

I'll point out that I've always been in the give em time camp (and tbf that still applies!). There were some games earlier in the season where I think we played just as well as now, but didn't get the rub.

The baffling thing I always don't get is when new signings are written off because they don't get n the side ahead of a player who's playing well, and have to wait for their chance. We had that with both Binks and Kitching - turns out we need both anyway!

I feel you’d bring an improvement on Robins’ tracksuit game, which would be a major plus .

Also nice to get into a career where I'd be considered young.

Desilva and Simms- have work to do to catch up
Wright-not going go change in and out of games, stats may be better than his all round gane come the end of season.
Lats- never going to be a bad signing, will be a Bidwell type. Good pro, solid and good lad to have around
Collins- quiet but does his job without fuss.
Tatsu- star always was going to be, for the money will prove to be a very clever signing.
Thomas and Kitching looking like very good signings.
MVE- worth every penny his pace is making it easier for the CBs.
Binks- i like could get his chance to potentially get a longer deal.
Ayari- not ready

Thomas had a slip at some point which seemed to get Kitching and Collins on their toes, stick up for him mostly and still do but a moment for sure, maybe goalkeeper slice needs to be vigilant as well!

Thought Dasilva looked really sharp when he came on. Was good at the start of the season too, but rightly lost his place when he had a few poor matches. Totally different to Simms.

Thomas has a knack of knowing where the ball will land. Gets his head on loads of crosses and a lot of important blocks. Has already improved a hell of a lot since the start of the season in my opinion. Could earn us a lot of money in the future.

Our results and performances have significantly improved with his exclusion from the team. He’s never a standard left back in a back 4

Problem is you get supporters who make an opinion on a player and won't ever change it

Not matter what Palmer and Dasilva must be criticised at all costs.

Did you see how slow Palmer was today and for the goal at Sunderland? Lol

It's a bit sad really.

For the most part recruitment has been successful but jury still out on Wright and Simms in my opinion. There are other players who if we were playing the same or even better than Wright would be getting dogs abuse

And has nothing to do with O'Hare hitting the ground running and Sakamoto being a level above most of the players he comes up against.

Why don't you put Dasilva in the same taxi as Robins?

Do you not watch Wright?

Very happy with his progress. His assists make up for the goals, although he has been a little unlucky. He pulls defences apart when running at them on the left. Very composed and will only get better.
