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.

Seems like a right Motley Crue to me. This is what happens when an owner treats his club like a session of Football Manager. Not sure that we have a single player in yet that is really suited to a bottom of the table relegation scrap.

I still maintain selling Allahyar last January was a mistake. He would've been perfect as a left-winger under Sellés' style of football and Walter probably would've liked him as well. He has 6 goals and 4 assists in 19 games this season in the Belgian league.

The fact we sold him for half of what we paid is a travesty.

He was ok. Showed glimpses. Maybe better than we have now, so yeh your probably correct.
 
He

He was contracted until 2026 and only 22 when we sold him. We sold him at a loss and replaced him with a loan player we had zero chance of signing permanently. Absolutely ridiculous decision-making by all involved.

He is miles better than any fit winger currently at the club. I'd argue he's better than Millar too.

Got a team of pub players plus someone’s mates grandad , Manesh should have been kept because we knew we’d lose our two best new wingers to ACL’s - honest guys crystal balls don’t work .

Can’t agree with that, his crossing and close control was shocking. Yeah he was quick but it’d often end with nothing happening at the end of it. Millar is far better.

Didn’t we sign him as a forward

We did but he can play up front and on the wing which is why I think he'd be ideal for Sellés as he likes his wingers playing narrow, running in behind and scoring goals whilst his actual striker drops deep.

10 goal involvements in 19 games in Belgium this season isn't anything to be sniffed at all and he's played mostly as a winger but up front on occasion for Westerlo.

Millar's crossing is shocking. Millar is a better dribbler, I'd give you that.

It’s all a balancing act. I would have preferred Harvey Knibbs from Reading, but paying a fee for him might mean we couldn’t spend money on Porteous or Kyle Joseph… is Joseph right for us…who knows? Dublin and Selles seem to think so.

It then depends if we get this unarmed winger through the door and he’s a step up in quality we might all be satisfied with the overall January recruitment.

How will he keep his balance?

Apologies to anyone who got there before me, I've been out walking the dog after having a sleep in.
