We average less than 1 per year by July, basically. Ba, Colback and Marveaux were freebies. Cabaye and Atsu were clauses. Perez and Sels the only ones that were pure transfer deals, which I assume were done quickly due to competition from other clubs (and in Sels' case because pre-season training had begun due to Championship season starting sooner). It's massively tedious all this waiting around, but hopefully it means we're in for a busy July again! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I mean we'll probably still sign players, like everyone else will as most teams have been quite so far. Issue is our owner is and the history of ineptitude that surrounds the football club. So i don't really blame people for getting concerned over this.

Stuy_O Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Well you would chill if you ignored the fact that in nearly every one of those seasons we have been shocking, fighting at the wrong end of the table, and eventually going down. I can't remember a premier league season under Ashley when i'v thought we were ready come the first game. Obviously with Benitez as manager it helps a great deal and subsides any panic to a degree, but posting a list of the lack of activity around now is just posting a list of examples of the club not learning their lesson imo.

Dan Gleebals Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I am sure 1st of July comes into it and we should hopefully see a couple of players announced on that date or soon after. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they are also two of the best players we've had in the Ashley era, think that means more than them being signed early. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Our most successful year was the one where we signed the 3 players there before July. No coincidence me thinks. It is though. Ba didn't hit the ground running at all, Cabaye benefitted although he had to go to Holland with the kids because he couldn't get into the USA, and Marveaux wasn't in the team.

Altamullan Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Rich and Hughesy posted something earlier about Statsbomb, great site. Had a look at this http://statsbomb.com/2017/06/passing-percentages-are-mostly-useless-quantifying-passing-ability/ Gives a good explanation why pass completion rate is a nonsense number. Uses a more sophisticated analysis and mentions in passing that Cairney is one of the best passing midfielders in England. Splash the cash Ash!
