TRon Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Add to that Rafa personally criticizing him in his presser after the game I think that one is a certain no-no. That wouldn't stop Rafa signing him if he thought he was any good, but if he's not cheating, what does he actually bring to a team? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sho Time Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 We're in the Championship and he's bought squad players. Hanley - Blackburn's captain and most important player Murphy - Ipswich's best player Gamez - Versatile Atletico Madrid defender who's only played 2 games (?) Diame - Best player aside from Snodgrass from Hull who we were all actually happy with as Sissoko's replacement Agree on Sels, there's 1. All in all, a fantastic SQUAD for the Championship.

triggs Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Never seen him play but this season he has 13 goals in 23 games and 7 goals in 172 minutes on the pitch apparently last season which is unbelievable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Hogan has 13 goals in 23 games for a Brentford side who are 14th, thats hardly a bad return. - Murphy - Barely featured, so can't really judge, but is much needed backup, something we've lacked in the striker department for years and someone who pushes Gayle and Mitro to perform. - Hanley - Same as above - Diame Was poor to begin with, but has now settled and looked pretty decent over the last few games. - Gamez Injured a fair amount, but is someone who has played at the highest level, and gives experience to an fairly young squad. - Sels Yeah, i'll give you that one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Aall of the players he's signed have done exactly what they were signed for other than Sels and perhaps Lazaar. Sels was obviously a shit signing, he was signed to be our number 1 and it never worked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sho Time Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Not really sure we needed to sign Murphy, Hanley or Gamez tbh Aye, when Mbemba goes away on AFCoN duty we only need Clark and Lascelles. No need for a 3rd wheel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Not really sure we needed to sign Murphy, Hanley or Gamez tbh If one of Lascelles/Clark is injured/suspended then Mbemba moves into the team. Which CB do we then have on the bench? What happens if Mbemba then gets injured too? Who plays? What about when Mbemba leaves for a month soon? People moan that we have a lack of options at CM when Shelvey is out but then not grasp why we have options elsewhere Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Murphy was a pretty shit signing. Yes, it's Gayle's form that is keeping the other strikers out of the team, but for 2/3 million I think we could've found a backup striker that could at least threaten to make a couple of sub appearances here and there, especially given Mitro clearly isn't fancied. Sels isn't very good but he was never going to be first choice long term and we needed a keeper to start the season with. He may still improve or we'll probably still him, and it'll be no harm done imo, League Cup exit aside. Lazaar, who knows? Maybe he'll surprise us. Thought he looked alright against Hull if nowt else. The rest were all good signings and have served their purpose. So only one poor signing, imo, and when you consider the fact we had approximately 15 players to replace, you're off your tits to criticise the recruitment.

Greg Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Not really sure we needed to sign Murphy, Hanley or Gamez tbh Aye, for example great idea to play nobody up front if Gayle, Perez and Mitrovic are injured and/or suspended at the same time.

triggs Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I think if we are looking for fourth choice centre halves/third choice strikers, we should have been buying young players/ giving our own a chance who might be alright in the PL in the future rather than buying experienced players on higher wages who will be useless anyway once we go up. Gamez was just a needless signing, you don't need 5 experienced full backs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Gamez was signed pre-empting Janmaat leaving, I don't think we knew Yedlin would be available to us.
