The 17 signings ….

[Des Parrot]

I know we all have our opinions but I think 6 of the 17 are good enough, to which I’d add Adams

Championship
Campbell
Kipre
O’Dowda
Allsop
Romeo
Collins

Lack of evidence
Alnwick
Ojo
Rinomhota
Philogene
Etete

Total waste of contract
Simpson
Sawyers
Tanner
Daley-Campbell
Nkounkou

Vassell award
Adams

Campbell? :shrug:

Looking at the list I think he means Robinson.

Rinomhota and Sawyers have both proven pedigree at championship level previously, been a big disappointment, especially Sawyers.

Ojo and Philogene have both done well at this level on loan previously, they're the kind of player who look a lot better in a side that's doing well though.

Tanner and Daley-Campbell are "projects". Low cost, basically a bonus if they make it.

Ojo has been dreadful for 1.5 seasons now. Philogene blows hot and cold. Rino can't pass water but can serve a purpose. He's not for me and in normal years he'd be classed as a miss but it's been such a bad window, he's 50:50.

Daley-Campbell signed a 3 year deal to be our backup to Romeo. He's 22 in 3 months, and he's older than Bagan, Philogene, Etete, Davies and Colwill. He can't even make the bench and they can't even find him a loan move. The chances of him making it are slim to none. It is a complete waste of money. Tanner is a cheap gamble.

The biggest issue is the lack of hits, and even the hits aren't that good. How many are actually top half players? Robinson, Collins and maybe O'Dowda? Romeo? Kipre probably but he's not our player. I'd say O'Dowda could be a good LB at this level but not as a winger, which is great, as Collins is a left back. Romeo is a decent player but realistically, he wouldn't start for many top half clubs at this level.

We're going to have the wage bill clogged up with Sawyers, Simpson, Ojo, Daley-Campbell and others for at least 18 months and we'll be in exactly the same position as where we started. While I don't expect every transfer to be a hit, the misses are so bad they are unsalvageable.

Do you know what's really weird? I have a habit of calling him Campbell by mistake, as well. I wonder where that comes from?

Re: The 17 signings ….

Rinomhota was very decent for Reading, he was player of the season one year

very unfair on Tanner, we would have been very lucky for him to have made a impression this season, a very low cost risk and while it hasn't worked for him, he deserves time

Re: The 17 signings ….

I suppose you look at Simpson who isn’t great and wasn’t needed and Sawyer who just doesn’t seem to fit as soon as Morison left. The others all have a chance of progressing. Tanner and Campbell a minimal risk maybe?

They were never going to be 17 top signings with such little spent.

Sawyers didn’t seem to fit when Morison was here. Indeed, he didn’t start in four of Morison’s ten league matches and was subbed every time he did start, often relatively early.

Re: The 17 signings ….

Well the modern football fans on here wanted free style passing tactics

And this is what we have

Re: The 17 signings ….

For me there seems to be no evidence of a qualified scouting outfit that knows what the club needs. Just Tans mum pointing to the east or a manager getting in some kid!! he liked 15 years ago

Re: The 17 signings ….

If Etete does well a lot of these would look better

There is no focal point in attack and Robinson just doesn’t fit as a striker

Callum , Campbell who knows, my missus does the memory stuff, I’ve sort of faded on that in recent years

To do that properly you need to spend the dosh and not do it on the cheap.
