These players look look to have some good qualities and are potentially good signings in their own right.
But my concern is that instead of signing a few key ready-to-go players, we're signing a mishmash.
A mishmash in pre-season has time to gel, become a group, get fit etc etc.
This lot are straight into a relegation battle, one were likely we need at least 25 pts from 20 games.

'Hull have to come in with an almighty good offer........and a nice little bunce for me'
We’ve got a decent enough 11, we need some final third quality. We are doing a decent job of spreading out the risk. Crooks, Gelhardt, Joseph are all capable of getting 3/4 before the season finishes. Add in current players also contributing it should be enouhh
That guy is reliable, he's the Baz of Turkey. Also DMs me every time a deal is done which I always appreciate.
Kanté's a funny one. His relentless energy and ball-carrying abilities made him more suited to a box-to-box role as a number 8, in my opinion. His tackling and reading of the game was great but he was almost always partnered next to a more physical midfielder.
Our current problem is that most of our midfielders are really small.
Sorba Thomas seems the obvious choice for the experienced championship winger. Seems a very complex deal to do as he’s out on loan, which would explain the delay, and he’s also got vast amounts of experience
On the other hand - our recent form is ok so the players we have are keeping us in it for now.
If they can continue that whilst these players gel - we might end up with a better side for the money spent then if we went for more expensive seasoned Champ players.
Time will tell I guess.
How is he better than Sayyadmanesh, Sinik and Omur?
Only 26 so not crazy old I suppose but agree not one that strikes me with too much confidence.
I hope so. We desperately need some pace, and with every new signing, we manage to bring down the squad's average speed stats.
This one clearly has the whiff of Acun signing about it. I hope it's something Selles is comfortable with and not an expensive player he's being lumbered with.
Possibly, but you'd hope having a familiar face might help him settle in better. And presumably if he's signing it would suggest he does get on with Pedro and Pedro's said good things.Similar threads
