David Kelly 1219 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 After the near hysteria of us taking so long to sign anyone, there's not really many of the clubs, outside the top teams,who have really strengthened that much this summer. Some teams have made a lot of signings but many of them seem to be more squad players than ones who will make a big impact in the first tea. Villa may have made a few good signings (I don't know many of them so time will tell) but they've also lost their three best players. Same with Southampton. Stoke look to have made a few promissing signings but they've also signed Glen Johnson so that brings them back down a bit. West Ham might have done as well as anyone but they've not went as mad as some were thinking they would. The others haven't really made much in the way of imressive signings. If we could get a couple more in for key areas we could make a canny improvement this term. Of course if we're still starting games with Williamson, Goufrran and Obertan then we might as well have not bothered! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've seen Armstrong and Woodman leave on loan in the last few days and now Abeid looking like he's going too. Hopefully this might be enough to start things moving again in terms of more incoming. I'm sure I read the other day that we actually have one of the biggest squads in the premier league but far too many of them simply aren't worth having even as back up. In addition to the ones you've said we've go the likes of Vukic, Good, Biggi, Satka and possibly Kemen (which may be why he's being linked with a move away)who are offering nothing at all.

If we could get rid of them, then we'd have 22 (I'm being reasonably generous to Taylor and Dummett here) who could be of some use. By my reckoning there, 8 of the players listed in the squad are young enough to not count as a squad place so that leaves 25 which is the maximum allowed for the league. That certainly does suggest we'll be needing to offload before we can buy. You know Ashley won't want to risk paying players wages who we can't even register.

David Kelly 1219 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 That bottom half of players is painful.There's a few sad tales of players who looked very promising at one point but never progressed (Vukic and Bigi being the main two) but there's also some pretty poor signings in there.

acrossthepond 866 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I think Bigirimana was totally wrecked by Pardew, although rumours of his mystery illness persist. Seeing him played at RB gives a good idea of how McClaren rates him: not at all. Vuckic was a good prospect but his horrendous injury record effectively finished him at the top level. He might end up a good Championship midfielder yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13766 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Reckon Marveaux could be handy off the bench since he has more about him than Obertan. It'd have to be at home, like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acrossthepond 866 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Obertan has no football intelligence either. All the athleticism in the world and no idea of how to use it. It's painful to watch sometimes. Marveaux is a worthless waste of a footballer. If we'd had him in our midfield last year instead of Colback we'd have gone down. I'd prefer it if I never saw him wearing our shirt again. He might've flattered to deceive at a club like Liverpool or Tottenham, he'd look good in routs, but we don't have the quality of player to carry him.
