You're forgetting one man & I would suggest the most important signing that we made, Conor Coady. I believe that his experience, tactical & positional know how, his constant talking to players (& refsPaddyP17 said:
Sonny Carey - scored goals, won us points. Good signingAberystwythAddick said:
Two of are most expensive signings of the last 10 years were loaned back to league one. That is a disaster.RC_CAFC said:
We stayed up. It wasn't a disaster.AberystwythAddick said:Given last seasons recruiting disaster I’m going to wait until we’ve played a few games to judge any of these players.
Thomas Kaminski - had some good moments, had shit moments, still kept clean sheets. I think falls into a Mediocre signing bracket - wasn't worth it, but if we'd signed him on a free I think we'd be viewing it more positively
Tanto Olaofe - got the winner at Sheff Utd, but obviously not worked out. Bad signing
Amari'i Bell - crucial to how we play. Indisputably good signing
Reece Burke - injured, not very good when back from injury, despite looking like he could have had something about him at some point. Fairly bad signing (but as he didn't really start for us not as bad as Tanto)
Joe Rankin-Costello - didn't really play much; felt he was a bit of a project. Had some great games and some very very middling ones, probably more of the latter. Mediocre signing
Rob Apter - very confusing but as it stands, bad signing
Charlie Kelman - oh man. Jury still out for me. Mediocre signing in terms of outlay but there's clearly something about him...
Harvey Knibbs - hmm. Not as good as Sonny Carey. Popped up with the odd goal; not sure he's our guy really. Mediocre signing
Collins Sichenje - jury still out
Lyndon Dykes - good signing - helped us get the points we needed.
Roussillon, Hernandez no longer at club. Obviously were toilet but not here long enough.
So I make that three good signings - all of which were cheap/free - and three bad ones, two of which cost fees.
If you look at each player on an individual basis then yes, the three bad signings look pretty piss poor, but to ignore Carey and Bell who were freebies is short-sighted.
Would like a better hit rate this window, but if the above sort of activity has us surviving in the Champ, and now we have a tiny bit more wiggle room, then hopefully things can continue on an upward trajectory.
But how you'd deem the above a "disaster" is really funny lol

Very exciting awaiting a signing that we don't know anything about! After last night i'm hoping its Brian Cipenga!4

There seems to be a lot of easily excited people on this forum...😂2

Doubts surround the future of Patrick Casey after his #cafc contract expired at the start of this month.Club made new offer in MayRC0

He was a reasonable signing, but i don't think it unreasonable to have expected a bit more, for the £3.5m we paid.Laddick01 said:Would maybe go higher on Kelman too. Took a while to get going but without that signing I think we’d be back in League One.
Hoping for 10/15 from him this season.
I don't get the impression that NJ was overwhelmed by him either, considering how desperate he was to get Godden back, and how he would regularly be benched.

I would say the prospect of having no idea who’s about to come through the door is way more exciting than agonising over a rumor of whether or not we’ll sign Fofanaeastterrace6168 said:There seems to be a lot of easily excited people on this forum...😂1 -
Probably Lyndon Dykes2

Lloyd Jones signing his new deal …… ??2

Told it’s a defender.Rossman92 said:Hope it’s Brian De Keersmaecker or someone similar. With the club being tight lipped it could be anyoneI think it might be Tutu from Bolton but that is just educated guess so don’t quote me on that one21 -
I reckon it might be Lloyd Jones - new contract.3

Would be happy with that, a freebie that hopefully means we can go big with money on another RWB and the midfieldstjohnshill said:

Harry Clarke?0

I remember when we was in the Premier league a few of my mates saying we were bigger than Spurs,we might have beaten them a few time but never a bigger club ,I haste to mention he was in the dunces class.Covered End said:
And there are some on here trying to tell us that we will get bigger attendances this season than W Ham.gringo said:West Ham have today announced 42,000 season tickets sold.
I offered a bet in favour of the Upbeats, but amazingly they declined.
They would have lost before the season started, most of us knew.0 -

I reckon @RonnieMoore knows who the player is, but wants to reveal it around 5pm.12

Dexter Lembikisa anyone?8

Only asking because a mate of mine said black guy, out of contract, right back, played in league 1 last year.
He fits as well as Osei-Tutu2 -
So a rwb hopefully. Midfield is clearly scheduled for next week0
-
Would be pleased if it is Osei-tutu, a proper specialist attacking RWB4
-
Given we said no to him last summer and then he made 3 League One appearances I’d be surprised if it was Lembikisa. He got engaged recently though so congratulations to him theresam3110 said:Only asking because a mate of mine said black guy, out of contract, right back, played in league 1 last year.

Connor Coady on Radio 5 now talking about England and leadership on the pitch that Harry Kane demonstrated. He was saying that whereupon he (CC) is VERY vocal and loud on the pitch (which his fellow pro on the show confirmed) Kane is very quiet but everyone respects and listens to him. Hope we re-sign him personally.5
