Summation of Ben Knappers signings and my opinion of value (not a sale value, more based on performances) The Van Hooijdonk - loan - flop Ante Crnac - 8.5m Flop Done nothing Value 2m Matej Jurasek 5.8m Flop Disaster from day 1 Value 500k Amankwa Forson 4m Flop Done nothing and injured alot value 1m Jose Cordoba 3m Half flop Not sure he can really defend, error prone with his diving in. Very good on the ball though. Value 2.5m Roari Mcconville 1m Ok I think he looks reasonable for the money Value 1.5m Oscar Schwartau 2m Ok Not really ready for 1st team if im honest. Too young and no real standout attributes Value 2m Ben Chrisene 1.5m Flop Full of errors. Not got the physique of a left back. Should be a centreback if anything Value 1m Anis Slimane 1.2m Flop value 500k Callum Doyle loan Good Fat, slow, cant defend but amazing on the ball Lewis Dobbin loan Flop Kaide Gordon loan Flop Jacob Wright 2.3m Ok Average player Value 2.5m 28.5 million spent on that lot!!! That's conservative and not including add ons. Mattias Kvistgaarden 6.9m I rate him so far Papa Diallo 4.3m I think he's going to flop, no end product Mirko Topic 3m Good Looks competent and technically good. Hate all the long balls though Value 4m Vladan Kovacevic 2m Flop I don't think he'll be no1 in 6 weeks Value free Jakov Medic 2m Ok Too big, too slow for where hes playing Value 2m Javon Makama 1.2m Good Impressed so far although very little end product. Value 1.2m Harry Darling free Excellent super player, love him Value 10m Jeffrey Schlupp free Not fit Daniel Grimshaw 750k Ok , soon to be no1 i feel Pelle Mattson 2.7m Highlights reel very average 23 million on that lot. That's nearly 52 million spent. Lets be serious here. Does that team look like its had that amount spent on it? I mean out of all of them I'd genuinely say so far I am comfortable saying 1 is a hit......and he was free and really a Manning signing. The rest. I'd say many have regressed, some are just very average and barely anyone has gotten better. It very much feels like a bloated mess now.
