Surely even the miserable bastards on here would admit that Goutas has been a great signing.
Are we allowed to be happy now?
Did Bulut do something good?

Let's see where we are by the end of the season. Sorry if that's a bit pragmatic, but it's easy to say a player is great after a handful of good games and a goal. If we get a full season out of him in his current form then that will be fantastic.
It's just as easy to label greatness on a player after a few good games as it is to call one shit after a few poor ones.
Saw Goutas included in a Preston fan’s online Championship team of the season a couple of days ago and he and Ng appear to be the two City players who tend to get considered for these type of things. Goutas’ off the line clearance on Tuesday was another example of the last ditch defending he appears to excel at. He’s definitely been better than I thought he’d be and, although this is a bit of a subjective table, he and Ng’s presence in the top ten suggests both of them are doing something right.

He's done very well.
Has been a good replacement for kipre. Defends well, it's also nice to see us as a set piece threat again and the way he attacks the ball helps with that.
Bulut has also done very well so far, considering where we were most of last season.
Compared to last season we look much better pretty much all over the pitch. Granted it's still early.
I'm happy, even with the Ramsey signing I had us as strugglers.
Biggest improvement for me is going to home games believing we may just get something.
He had a few ropey games early on but has come good.
He still has some areas of his game to improve on but as Bob said some areas he does excel at
He and McGuinness are forming a very good partnership. They've been helped also by Siopis cleaning up in front of them and giving us the kind of midfield dynamism we haven't had for a very long time. Our ability to keep the ball and not get played through so easily takes so much pressure off the defenders
Looked utter shit in the first few games but he has turned out very nicely. Hopefully he can keep improving too
ALL ABOARD!!!

Not sure that's too wide of the mark. Whist Medel is clearly a class player, he wasn't great for us for a lot of that season, he was also pretty unfit and his form fell off a cliff when we needed him most.
As the other post said, for us, you could argue Siopis has been better.

I agree Madel was a better player, I don’t think he showed it for us mind. After a decent/good start he became poor and disinterested.
I don’t think they need to be compared but I’m very hopeful Siopis will make a bigger impact at the club, even if at a lower level.
