Summer Transfer Thread - The Verdict.

[kippaxvilla2]

Overall underwhelming. 

Nearly all wingers that move sold or loaned.

Still got two crap strikers. 

Defence still looks suspect.

No longer shopping at Sainsburys.  Getting towards Aldi.

Started off very promising. Ended with the forum discussing posters balls to dick ratio.

We must be the slowest side in the top flight.

[Toronto Villa]

losing our top defender hasn't helped. Making an horrendous start to the season and having a shit manager doesn't help and I am pretty sure it completely impacted the signings. Let's fire this prick and spend in January and heavily next summer.

By my reckoning there's room in the squad for both Guilbert and Sanson, does that look right? Assuming we don't register Carlos until at least jan.

Desperate

We're not scoring many goals

Goals win games, I think we will be relegated

Coutinho, Olsen, Augustinsson, Carlos, Kamara, Dendonker and Bednarek.  A bunch rather than a planned set, with a plan and a jigsaw piece in mind.  Without the change in coaching/managing, to get the best out of them, whether they are good players or not, will make no difference.  Overall, I am hoping the Dendonker signing is a bit of a jewell but word has it, he hasn't been the same since his bad injury.  Coutinho is a 70 minute player.  Underwhelmed with Kamara thus far, but hope Dendonker is a partner and much needed, to bring the best out in Bouba.  Weird window and I am sure Gerrard is not the pull that he thinks he is.  Change the manager and this lot might just turn out to be quite useful.

Our chronic lack of pace hampers us ever being effective on the break, and we have not addressed it. We have signed 2 very solid midfield players which under the right manager can thrive.

Bednarek appears to be a liability, so let's hope his arse gets warm on the bench until Carlos returns.

Not much to get excited about. Luiz staying is good for the next manager.

I see your you're Trottering out the same bollocks

Looking at it, I would say the owner’s didn’t want spend too heavy with SG being a busted flush.

I assumed it was a reference to us signing the Dell boy, Bednarek.

[Clark W Griswold]

Potentially not bad but need to see them play / a bit more of them and need to get Gerrards last few token games out of the way and a new manager in. It’s not quite threatening the current elite levels but with better luck on the injury front and a manager who knows what he’s doing, I think we could have a top half squad. Just.

[dave.woodhall]

There's a fair bit of squad filler and if the style's going to be changed to allow for two defensive midfielders, surely to God we could have done better than Dondecker? It has the feel of a newly-promoted side - we're still signing players to stay up, rather than to kick on.

Reads like my old annual school reports…”has unfulfilled potential if he applied himself more”.
