I've seen Bennie play and he seemed decent in the 1 time I saw him. But he's young and looks like he'd get knocked around by some bigger players.
Morrison looked very good in the one time I've seen him but he's already a sicknote?
Santos looks like he shouldn't be a defender. He seems to have something as a player but I'd rather him be a right midfielder.
Nardi is quality.
Celar... I don't really feel like he's had much of a chance. Not in terms of minutes on the pitch but in terms of anyone delivering him a decent ball or pass. Which is the case for any striker that comes to us these last few years.
Varane looks a good player, imo, from the little I've seen. Obviously, he hasn't played at all in England. He just needs to get his wearabouts.
Dembele is a good little player but physically lightweight and doesn't want any responsibility. He will only play well if the rest of the team are playing well. Not a strong character, imo.
Saito looks good. Good competition for the wings and/or for wingback positions if we're going down that route.
Madsen... the most infuriating player. Should not be anywhere near the senior team until he can sort himself out. Might even think about sending him on loan. He probably has a decent player in him but can he cope with the physicality of this league? I'm not sure.
Ashby... was the best player on the pitch in his full debut for us but has looked average since. However, I'm convinced there's a very good player in him if and when the whole team gets moving properly.
Shepperd... also not seen.

We have a good squad. Better than a number of teams in the league. Which is why it's disappointing we're playing this way.
Some good points in there.
It's the way we set up thats the most disappointing thing, especially for players like Frey & Celar. They won't get many chances within this formation.
I remember Dunne being excellent down the right flank for us towards the end of last season, we even gave him a Brazilian nickname!! Why we felt the necessity to bring in a further 2 players for that position, yet leaving only one left back to choose is quite bizarre.
