Interestingly out of all of his permanent signings

 

Fabian Schar - HIT

Martin Dubravka - HIT

Florian Lejeune - HIT

Matt Ritchie - HIT

Isaac Hayden - HIT

Dwight Gayle - HIT

Miguel Almiron - HIT

Ciaran Clark - DECENT

Mohammed Diame - DECENT

DeAndre Yedlin - DECENT

Federico Fernandez - HIT

Mikel Merino - HIT

Daryl Murphy - DECENT

Christian Atsu - DECENT

Joselu - DECENT

Ki Sung-yeung - DECENT

Javier Manquillo - HIT

Grant Hanley - FLOP

Jesus Gamez - FLOP

Matz Sels - FLOP

Achraf Lazaar - FLOP

Yoshinori Muto - FLOP

Jacob Murphy - HIT

 

That's around 80% of his signings that were decent or a hit. Only 5 outright flops that haven't shown anything since

 

Very good hit rate - not many are on that level especially when buying at that lower level 

Would go along with all of that but upgrade Diame and I don't think Hanley flopped, he was very good in that promotion season.

No qualms with assigning 'flop' to Hanley because he didn't play much, but Clark was absolutely a hit. Excellent when we came up and chipped in thereafter. Another that was just here too long.

That’s an incredible success rate under the constraints he was working under. Joselu has to be a hit really considering his career trajectory 


No, no, no. While he was here, he was shit. Absolutely zero confidence going into games with him up top. 
 

Glad for him now but at Newcastle, he was a dud.

The qualifiers are quite compelling. I thought when it was expanded from 16 to 24 teams it would be very hard for even semi serious teams not to qualify, but a lot of nations have improved and there probably will still be a few notable teams that miss out.

 

Welsh and (Northern) Irish fans would have probably thought they would have been in with a great chance of making a major tournament every 4 years, but the latter two missed out last time, and all 3 look set to miss out this time.

 

Austria vs Sweden (on Viaplay Xtra, so free to air) is massive tomorrow, and a potential loss for Isak's men would make it extremely hard for them to qualify.
