There is no way that even the greatest managers of all time get every signing right and with us having so many new faces I wondered who people felt would have the most impact on the first team this season and also who might be the few that don't live up to expectation.
Would be interesting to see others opinions
My choice of 5 biggest impact in reverse order:
5. Engels - I think he will be 1st choice to partner the Emperor and look assured and at 9ft tall will chip in a few goals as well
4. Douglas - We need a destroyer in defensive midfield and someone who can play out rather than hoof - although I have not seen him play yet all the signs are that he could well be the real deal - if Pep rates him then he knows a thing or two.
3. Heaton - having a steady keeper with experience was critical and irrespective of him being relatively cheap, by some of the fees we were linked with, he really does tick all the boxes and could be the glue that binds a pretty strong defence together.
2. Guilbert - I have always liked attacking full backs right back from the Gidman days and I remember the contribution the likes of Gary Charles, Staunton had to our attacking game. After his contribution so far in pre season games I think this guy will be a storm.
1. Jota - I really think this guy is built for the premiership style. High energy, great close control and superb vision as well as the talent for popping up to score a few to boot. I think he was always on Smiths radar as he sees him as being as instrumental to our play as Jack.
Might disappoint
Trezeguet - might take a while for him to adjust to life in the Prem and I think he will be used as an impact player from the bench this first season
Konsa - looks to me more a prospect for the future as I think he has a mistake in him still and this inexperience will be punished.
Targett - I think his impact will be dependent on who plays in front of him and can support him when he goes forward so I think this may take a few mixes and matches before we see the best of him
