the rest have been poor.

The 6 out 10 is of plucked  out thi.n air to use a a beating stick, but you have it wrong take Jao for instance he wasn't bought as a first team regular, Carlos always said he was one for the future. Urby was / is a back up player. I think Carlos has got things right in the transfer market, he has no control over injuries, but when we have a long term injury he tries to replace that player.

Signings

Fessi,,  Positive

Fletcher, Positive

Urby, Don't know

Bannan, Positive

Hooper, Positive

Abdi, I wish I knew.

MacManaman, Not played enough yet

Wallace, Positive

Reach, Positive (ignore the price)

Fox, Too early to say

Joao, 1st year positive, 2nd, not so much

Pudil, Positive, I think he's OK

McGugan, , Negative, don't know why

Hunt, Positive?

Jones, Jury is out

Sasso, Positive, only signed as a back up, does that well

Buckley, negative, been here a while not played enough 

Mattias, Positive, not his fault he's injured, quality. 

Sougou, Negative

Winnall, Too early

 

My views only, 20 players, 10 positive, 3 only just joined, 3 Jury out, 3 negative, Joao, looked the business, not improving.

 

I don't know if I've missed anyone other than the Goalkeeper out on loan.

 

I'm not sure if they were all down to CC because of the committee we had in the early days.

Bit harsh on Buckley as he's injured

I know he's injured at present. 

 

I expected him to come in and force his way into the starting line up because he's been quality in the past.. He's not come up to the standards I expected. Maybe my expectations were too high or he's another one who's unable to play our system.  With MacManaman coming in I don't think Buckley will get much game time.

 

I wanted to look at who we had signed since CC arrived and whether they had been good signings or not. There's no way posters on here would agree on which players were good or bad so I just used my own ideas. Feel free to disagree on any of them.

Standard scouting outlook;

 

Scenario A:

This player from x club could be just what we need, available for a decent price and value could treble if he does well.

 

Scenario B:

CC - I need a player with these attributes, who can play this position and who's strength's are x,y and z. Scout looks around the globe for said player.

 

Scenario C:

Club - we are interested/have been recommended this player. Go watch them and give me a report on strengths and weaknesses.

 

Wednesday OK outlook:

 

Boss this Messi looks good, I'm watching him on TV now.
